Part II: The Constitution ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- "The privileges and immunities clause of the fourteenth Amendment protects very few rights because it [neither incorporates any of the Bill of Rights] nor protects all rights of individual citizens... Instead this provision protects only those rights peculiar to being a citizen of the federal government; it does not protect those rights which relate to state citizenship..." Jones v. Temmer (Aug. 1993) 829 F. Supp. 1226. The body of admiralty law and the federal judicial power in admiralty and maritime jurisdiction are paramount and exclusive over and against everything except the sovereignty of the Federal Government itself, and foreign sovereignties having treaty rights. They recognize but one sovereignty in the United States, that of the Federal Government. Nor can there be but one sovereign power over the same thing at the same time. As to this body of law and these judicial powers, the States have surrendered both their sovereign powers and sovereign privileges under the Constitution. The State can have or enact no law contravening or affecting them. Nor can it urge its sovereign attributes to accomplish the same results. To hold otherwise would be a contradiction. Workman v. New York City, 179 U.S. 552; The Lake Monroe, 250 U.S. 246; Knickerbocker Ice Co. v. Stewart, 253 U.S. 149; Southern Pacific Co. v. Jensen, 244 U.S. 205; Union Fish Co. v. Erickson, 248 U.S. 308. [9.1] 2.8 06/30/98 CONFLICT OF LAWS 1.The federal law prevails over state law (statutory or constitutional), and the state law, if in conflict, must yield. (Falsone v. U.S.) Internal Revenue Manual Handbook. 9.1 Chap. 2 AUTHORITY 06/30/98 Once again, I understand what many of you are facing with this information. But please, ask yourself if what you read here doesn't answer so many of the questions you have had over the years, with no answers for them. Why is it that no matter who gets elected, nothing changes? Why are the Republicans and Democrats so much alike? Where are all your "freedoms" going, and why? And there are many other questions as well. This is the answer, like it or not. And what you must do with this information is not just "believe" it, but go to work and confirm it! Many of you have worked very hard over the years to elect the "right politician". Well, while you have been working for "them", many other men, dozens, even hundreds of them, have been digging through case law decisions, filing freedom of information requests, initiating law suits against government personnel and entities to force the truth out and sifting through millions of pages of government archives, all of them looking for the information you now have access to. And this is not all. You are going to see a lot more over the next several parts, much of it to confirm to you that what you are reading here is the Truth. So, please, read on, and prepare yourself for much more in Part III! What, Exactly, Is The Constitution? The Constitution of the United States of America, Article I, Section 8, Clause 17: To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings; UH? So what? Is the Constitution fact or fiction? That's all I want to know! Don't bore me with details or rhetoric about words or laws or statutes or any of that other 'stuff'! Just tell me; What, exactly, is the Constitution? Is it fact of fiction? Does it even exist anymore? Of course the Constitution exists, or Washington, DC, as a seat of government, could not exist, because the Constitution is the creation document for what eventually became known as The United States Government (i. e., the UNITED STATES). Without the Constitution, the District of Columbia ceases to have any lawful existence, except as a city. Not that this would stop those in power in DC, but it would raise some questions in the minds of the People that probably could not be answered without blood-shed, and some of the blood shed would be that of those in DC, and, of course, their minions. To understand a little better, the District of Columbia was created by a grant from either Madison or Adams and George Washington. It was originally 10 miles square, which encompassed 100 square miles. Washington’s Land was in Virginia and he and the boys from Maryland got into a disagreement and George revoked his assignment of the Virginia parcel, so to this day D.C. encompasses only 73 square miles. Maryland's District of Columbia Cession Act was Md. Laws 1791, Ch. 45, § 2. The National District of Columbia Enabling Act was U.S., Feb 27, 1801, c. 15, 2 Stat. 103. The Constitution for the United States of America designs that such a District should be created and delegated it but did not create it. This is why the government was originally operated from Philadelphia. There is also more than some evidence that the particular location picked for Washington, DC, had to do with occult symbolism and the remarkable similarity of the area, once it would be built up, to Alexandria, Egypt, and the Nile river. It is important for you to also understand that what we are facing is, more than anything, the need for those in Washington, DC, to fragment and confuse the people of America as much as possible. It is not necessary to blind everyone; it is simply necessary to blind a majority, so that the few who understand stand alone. In this manner, resistance to tyranny can be blamed for the problems created by those in Washington, DC, and the majority of our people will never see the Truth. This is why it is essential that you begin to understand and when you do, that you begin to help educate those around you as well. And, you will always find a few who are ready to listen. To continue, I think that everyone can agree that the Constitution is a fact. Not very many people deny that Washington, DC, or that the UNITED STATES, exists. But what about fiction? Yes, the Constitution is also a fiction, but not in the literal sense. The Constitution is a fiction in the minds of the People; Those who persist in believing what they wish to have be true, in the face of all evidence to the contrary, including case law from the courts created by Congress through the power granted by the Constitution. That being said, the questions still remain concerning the Constitution. Yet the answers to all of our questions about the so-called Constitution is right in the Constitution; if we would simply read it, and think about what we are reading, instead of accepting that which we are TOLD we are reading! It took me many years and many false starts before I finally started to read the Constitution, instead of reading what others have said about the Constitution. Once I did this, what others were actually saying, instead of what I thought they were saying, became very clear. 'They' tell us the answer to the vast majority of our questions at every opportunity, but we simply fail to hear what 'they' are really saying. We prefer to hear that which we think is being said, rather than carefully listening and thinking about the meaning behind the rhetoric. "Democracy". Since when did I pledge allegiance to any old "democracy"? All of us have heard the old objections and the questions about "what is going on" including the above. Why did we pledge "allegiance" to any creation of man without the realization that our husbands, brothers, fathers and sons (and now daughters) would be sent off to foreign wars for the profits and gain of the merchants of the earth? I Samuel 8:18 "I brought up Israel from Egypt, I rescued you from the power of the Egyptians and from the power of all the realms that were oppressing you; and to-day you have rejected your God, who has himself saved you from all your calamities and distresses; you have said 'no' to me and claimed a king. Then he added, "Here are the methods of the king who shall reign over you; your sons he will take and place them in his chariots and among his horsemen and to run before his chariots; he will put them in command of his regiments and companies; some will have to plough his ground and reap his harvest to make his arms and construct his chariots; your daughters he will take for perfumers and cooks and bakers; he will take the pick of your fields and vineyards and olive-yards and present them to his courtiers; a tenth part of your arable land and vineyards he will present to his officers and courtiers; your slaves, male and female, and the pick of your cattle and your asses, he will take and use for his own ends; a tenth part of your flocks he will take; and you yourselves shall be slaves to him. Then you will cry out on account of the king whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the Eternal will not answer you then." The above is one of the strongest parts of the Bible, and the one everyone can understand around him in action, if he will but look. It says very plainly that God the Eternal will not hear your call until you come out of her! And it goes a long way in explaining the Constitution, as you will see. And in understanding why those who serve the UNITED STATES in aggressive warfare are so punished for their actions. For instance, all of the POW/MIAs, the Gulf War Syndrome sufferers, Michael New and all the rest too numerous to mention. There have been tens of thousands. There will be thousands more. Perhaps millions more. You defend your nation on the shores and fields of the nation; You plunder other nations on their shores and in their fields. That is the lesson of foreign wars and of a standing army. A standing army is always, in the final resort, used against the People it supposedly is to protect. A standing army is always, in the end, filled with desperate men who will do whatever is necessary to protect what little they think is theirs, be it rank, starvation wages, or a way of life they can not do without. Pity them, for they know not what they do. (See the British army in the building of the British merchant Empire and the accumulation of the vast wealth of the Rothschilds/Rhodes and the like. It is very instructive to talk to UNITED STATES soldiers today, and hear how they cannot get an education any other way or, in many cases, earn a living outside of the military forces. This is identical to the situation which existed in England for centuries, and the world is littered with the graves of the common folk of England who died to 'create' the merchant Empire of "The City", and who never saw any gain for their deaths. Also see the book The Empire of "The City" by E. C. Knuth, where you will learn that the real power of the British "Empire" is the London financial district known as "The City", and "the Crown" is the committee of 12 to 14 men who rule "The City", thus being the "power" behind the "King".) Always the illusion must be kept before the "People" of the united States that what they are supporting and/or fighting for is the Union of States, the united States, instead of some kingdom, the UNITED STATES (a private corporation) located on the banks of the Potomac. More on this later. History always repeats itself; those who fail to study history become just so many more victims of history: the Wilderness; Iwo Jima; the Bulge; Stalingrad; Hiroshima; the Ardennes; Pork Chop Hill; Viet Nam; Iraq; Gettysburg; and on and on. And I've said nothing about the above Clause 17 from the Constitution. Perhaps just to give you a chance to think about it some more. Why? Because the answer is right there before us, if we are willing to put our preconceived, preprogrammed prejudices aside and actually think about what we are reading. If need be, get out a legal dictionary and look up the words. What you are reading as Article1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution of the United States of America is why so many Americans refer to the United States as Amerika. Because of the Constitution, this is what exists now as the UNITED STATES of 1998, and on into the future. Not a pretty place, from my view point. But it is exactly what was intended by the men who, meeting secretly, wrote the Constitution! And to understand this completely, to understand the secrecy completely, there is one more part of the Constitution which we must consider; Article VI, Clause II: This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every States shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding. Read the above section again, only end it with not with standing, instead of notwithstanding, and think about how that changes the meaning of the Clause: the laws and Constitution of any state to the contrary will not have standing, in Washington, DC. This Clause is only interesting if taken within the context of Article1, Section 8, Clause 17. Read again: and all Treaties made... Then think about one clear, simple fact; 'They' put no limitation upon time as far as when the chain of treaties began. Could the train go clear back to the charter granted in the early 1600s by the King of England to Virginia? Or to Maryland? A charter issued under the authority of "the Crown", which is the London Financial District known as 'the City"? Would this perhaps explain the First Bank of the United States a little better? And Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 would be absolutely essential for this Clause of Article VI to be enforced. It is also important to understand the relationship of the "Supreme Court" to these proceedings: Only the King's Lawyers have ever been allowed to 'practice' law before what is known today as the Supreme Court or before any court subordinate to that same so-called Supreme Court. But I digress... What do you think of when you say Constitution? Most people I have talked to think of a beautiful scroll, with the words "We find these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal" written thereon. In fact, I have even had people tell me that these words are a part of the preamble to the Constitution. Of course, this is wrong, because the words come from the foundation document of these united States, The Declaration of Independence. Legally referred to as the Statute of 1776, The Declaration of Independence is the cornerstone upon which our freedoms rest. The Declaration of Independence is what the men of the Revolutionary War shed their blood for, not the Constitution! But the programming of our People has been so complete that everyone believes that the Constitution is the key document. Nothing could be further from the truth! The more I learn, the more convinced I become that the Constitution was actually the bankers/King of England/lawyer’s answer to The Declaration of Independence. And it is impossible, with any study of history, to believe that "accidents" happen in politics. (If it was an "accident", it would be corrected.) To believe that a "mistake" of the magnitude of Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution of the United States of America just "happened" through error and oversight of the men who created the Constitution or that the provision of Article VI, Clause II exists. Most everyone has heard of the "fatal flaw" in the Constitution. But most everyone claims that the general welfare clause is the problem; They are wrong. The clause enumerated above, Clause 17 of Section 8, Article I is the fatal flaw in the Constitution. How can we tell that? By Article I, Section 8, Clause 17, of course, and by case law as well: To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings; The Constitution is the law of the land, right? Wrong! The Constitution is the law of the land, except for the area known as the District of Columbia! The Constitution does not apply in Washington, DC! That is precisely what the above Clause of the 'Constitution' is all about! "To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever..." There is no control on Congress within Washington, DC, whatsoever. Not by the Constitution, and not by the People who supposedly "benefit" from the Constitution. None whatsoever. Congress can do whatsoever they please in DC, with no law, and no People, to answer to. That is, by definition, a "democracy". And I have already heard all of the arguments that 'one little tiny mistake by our forefathers does not negate a great document, the best effort the world has ever seen in man's attempt to obtain freedom' (see I Samuel 8:18). This is not one tiny little mistake! At least 95% of all of the "laws" enacted by "Congress" are enacted through the power granted by this Clause! And then I hear about how the 'court' destroyed the Constitution by their "false interpretation" of this clause. In Downes v. Bidwell, the Supreme Court ruled that "exclusive" meant exactly that; EXCLUSIVE jurisdiction, with no control from the Constitution. (In Downes v. Bidwell, the Court ruled that "exclusive" meant "without consideration of the Constitutional restraints...") A few years later, the Supreme Court confirmed this ruling in Hooven v. Evatt, and I fail to see how else the 'court' could have ruled! What is not understandable about "exclusive"? But of course, this is not all of the story either! Tell me, what is the definition of Democracy? And yes, we've all heard the bit about "mob rule", but what does that mean? Simply put, it means that there is no law to govern by (no Constitution; no Scripture; nothing), that anything is permissible if the majority, or rather the controlling (moneyed) minority, desires it. No law. None whatsoever. Anything goes, including genocide, debt creation, concentration camps, income tax, social security, or anything else that the People can be convinced is good enough to contract for. Oh, and let me be very clear about this; The People only have to contract for the benefits they want, because the rest comes along with the pie, unseen and not thought of until it applies. Think of it this way, a "benefit" or a "privilege" is "bait". As any fisherman knows, "bait" always has a hook in it. What is the hook? Anytime you apply for any benefit from any arm of the government, you first must surrender all Rights. All Rights. There can be no exception to this statement, because any creation of man, capable of giving "benefits", must gain something by the giving of the benefit, or there is no reason to give the benefit. Benefits are privileges. Privileges only exist for your benefit at the expense of some other man. Thus, any benefit for you must be taken from someone else first, so any government "empowered to give" must first be "empowered to take". This is the purpose of Article I, Section 8, Clause 17. To create a jurisdiction wherein privileges are granted instead of Rights acknowledged. When a government is given the power to grant privileges, it becomes a play thing for the bankers and their bottomless pockets of created credit. Black's Law Dictionary, Volume 6, page 1197: Privilege. A particular and peculiar benefit or advantage enjoyed by a person, company, or class, beyond the common advantages of other citizens. An exceptional or extraordinary power or exemption. A peculiar right, advantage, exemption, power, franchise, or immunity held by a person or class, not generally possessed by others. Does it make any sense to ask 'man' for the privilege of being set above other men? To enjoy an advantage over other men? (It certainly does to a banker!) Does it make any sense to think that there is not some cost involved in gaining such a privilege? No lawful government, of the People, by the People, and for the People, can give any privilege to one man, because such can only be done at the expense of another man. So there is always more to the story than what you see on the surface. There is the rest of the story. Just like the parasitic infestations in pork and in shell fish, the rest of the story is unseen until the host becomes so sick that the problem can not be ignored. All that was needed in order to destroy what was created by the Declaration of Independence and the blood of those who died for freedom in the Revolutionary War was for the framers of the "Constitution" to give exclusive power to make "law" to any branch of the so-called government in any forum whatsoever and the nature of man would take care of the rest. The nature of man, with a little help from the King's minions, namely his lawyers. Please see the info about Esquires in United States citizen, Yes or No? Then, when Congress went sine a die in 1861, exclusive Legislative power devolved unto the President, who, at the point of a gun (acting as Commander-in-Chief of the army), reconvened Congress. Thereafter, you find legislation by Presidential fiat, i.e., Executive Orders, become the "law of the land" (but ONLY in Washington, DC, under the municipal code of DC, in the territories and in the federal district States – more on this a little later). The only quasi-legitimate manner in which to convince the vast majority of the People to enter into the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress was to offer a "contract(s)" under the guise of a "benefit", without explaining all of the elements of the contract. Of course, this is called a constructive trust (see Black's Law Dictionary for an explanation of constructive trust, i.e., constructive fraud). Why must there be a contract? Under the Constitution, the absolute Right to contract is protected, and it is only in this manner that your other Rights can voluntarily be given up for the duration of the contract entered into. The contracts thus entered into form trusts, which I have also seen called Bifurcated Trusts. It is through these so-called trusts that the financial interest in your labor and time is claimed for the benefit of those who conspire to have the laws and statutes passed which most benefit them in the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress in the District of Criminals, Washington, DC. The only manner in which this thievery of the labor and time of the People of America can be thus accomplished, is that each individual must be, in some manner, convinced to volunteer (perhaps you have heard of our voluntary tax code?) into the jurisdiction of the municipal code of Washington, DC, where Congress holds exclusive Legislative power. The operative word being power. And the Constitution absolutely forbids Congress and the States from interfering in any manner with the Obligation of Contracts. Once you volunteer into the jurisdiction of the municipal code of Washington, DC, the restraints of the Constitution on the workings of government officials no longer apply, and they can and will do whatever they wish. By contracting for privileges into Washington, DC, you remove yourself from above the Constitution to a place beyond the Constitution, where there is no law. This is called the King's Privilege. The King's Sovereignty is based on his 'right' to make law. If he has the right to make law, then he is bound by no law! And those who are bound by the law he 'makes' are called subjects! So if you are bound by the laws written by Congress, if you are a United States citizen, do not fool yourself about your legal status. This is important to understand, because you, as a native American, are not under the Constitution, unless you are an official of the so- called government; Sworn to uphold and defend the said document. (Why anyone would take such an oath is beyond me, but then, I'm not as young and foolish as I once was!) Did you sign the Constitution? No? Then you are not under it, and there is case law on this subject. The courts understand this, even if the vast majority of us do not. The courts tell us "Don't bring up the Constitution in this court!" and we don't understand that the only thing being adjudicated in that court are contracts that we have entered into with the private corporation that controls the said court. The Constitution is simply a restraint upon those who work in the so- called government. It is nothing else, and conveys no privileges nor benefits to the common man, nor does it grant any protections. The Constitution simply makes the existence of the District of Criminals in Washington possible. And the men who wrote the Constitution understood exactly what they were doing. No one who called themselves a Christian and who recognized the Lawgiver of the Universe could not understand what a license they were handing to Congress with the term exclusive Legislation. Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, page 919; License. A personal privilege to do some particular act or series of acts on land without possessing any estate or interest therein, and is ordinarily revocable at the will of the licensor and is not assignable... The permission by competent authority to do an act which, without such permission, would be illegal, a trespass, a tort, or otherwise not allowable... Certificate or the document itself which gives permission. Leave to do thing which licensor could prevent... Permission to do a particular thing, to exercise a certain privilege or to carry on a particular business or to pursue a certain occupation... "To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever..." Who could issue such a license to "make law"? Only the King. To make any law whatsoever. To 'create' any tax code, for Washington, DC! To create any privilege whatsoever for any one willing to pay enough for the privilege. For instance, the 'privilege' of printing 'money'. But only for Washington, DC. To make any law whatsoever! It is impossible for me to believe that the men who fought and died for freedom in the Revolutionary War would ever agree to let any man write the law under which they must live. Who has the power to write law? Only THE Sovereign. The power to write law IS the power of sovereignty, and any man who must obey the said laws is known as a subject, as in ‘subject to the power of’. The more I learn the more I understand why the Constitution was written in secrecy. And now I understand what I was told concerning the Constitution being sent to Britain in 1788 for approval, before the final draft was accepted in 1792. You will understand as well, before I am done. And I know that many of you will simply shake your head in disbelief about all of the nonsense, like, for sure, yeh, Great Britain! Only the greatest maritime power on the face of the earth for centuries. And just a small island, kinda like a ten miles square district of Maryland, you know, perhaps you've heard of Washington, DC? However, if you want a lesson in real American History, go to http://www.state-citizen.org/files/stateinfobriefs/000contents.txt and download the file '1STCONG.ZIP' and read a "true and correct copy of the Constitution from 1789, before the Bill of Rights - please check this out, and see all the changes made by our government". This is the version of the Constitution accepted by the delegates of the States, not the one "adopted" by the 'government' in 1792, AFTER the British approved the final version. I think you will find it rather interesting to compare the two versions, and this may help you understand what is actually going on in America. And remember this; men such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson certainly knew and understood exactly what was going on. Many of the ordinary delegates and such certainly did not know or understand, or many of the so-called founding fathers would have been lynched! Now all that had to be done was to devise some manner of convincing all of those so-called free-men out there that it was a good idea to contract into the jurisdiction of Washington, DC! Because no matter what privilege or 'tax code' is created for the benefit of the wealthy minority, it is of no benefit to 'them' without the willing 'taxpayers' to participate. You know; the cannon fodder; the useless eaters, the vast majority of the People of the united States, who must be convinced that the united Sates is really the UNITED STATES, and that the Constitution is a GREAT document! Oh, isn't public education wonderful? Once you understand these facts, the Buck Act, Social Security (the greatest Ponzi scheme ever devised!), the so-called Income Tax, the IRS, FBI and all of the other alphabet soup agencies begin to make sense. Not much, until you finally grasp that Congress has the right to regulate those who are contracted into their exclusive jurisdiction! Contracting with equals the acceptance of. To Contract with Congress is to accept any burden placed upon Washington, DC, by Congress, including the payment of the national bankruptcy, serve in foreign wars for the benefit of the merchants of death, be a guinea pig for medical experiments, in fact, to act as a slave of Congress, just as the contracts spell out. To be, in short, a subject. Black’s Law Dictionary, 6th edition; Subject. Constitutional Law. One that owes allegiance to a sovereign and is governed by his laws. The natives of Great Britain are subjects of the British government. Men in free governments are subjects as well as citizens; as citizens they enjoy rights and franchises; as subjects they are bound to obey the laws. The term is little used, in this sense, in countries enjoying a republican form of government. Read the above carefully and you will see where "citizen," as in United States citizen, ties to subject as is described in Part I, United States citizen, Yes or No? And there are two more points which needs to be pointed out here: First, you can not go to Congress and ask for relief from taxes. These men, and women, are contracted to support the Constitution, under the Fourteenth Amendment. Now, what happens when you or some Congressman questions this "National" debt, or asks Congress for "relief," especially in the nature of curtailing the activities of everyone’s favorite agency, the IRS? Well, all Congressmen, probably you, and, of course, all lawyers, are bound by contract to the terms and conditions of the Fourteenth Amendment. Section 4 of the Fourteenth Amendment is very plain, and quite clear: Section 4: The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned… (It is very interesting to carry this "collection of contracted debt" completely forward from the beginning through the formation of the corporation known today as The United States government: .......And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our Sacred Honor. (Declaration of Independence, 1776) This mutual pledge served notice to all the world that the new United States of America would honor it's public debts. In effect, it was an introductory statement of a Public Pledge of Revenue Assurance for the Public Debt of the United States of America. This Public Pledge was subsequently, and more specifically, expressed as follows: All bills of credit emitted, monies borrowed and debts contracted by, or under the authority of Congress, before the assembling of the United States, in pursuance of the present Confederation, shall be deemed and considered as a charge against the United States; and the Public Faith are hereby solemnly PLEDGED. [Articles of Confederation, Article XII]. It is agreed that CREDITORS on either side shall meet with no lawful Impediment to recovery of the Full Value in Sterling Money of all bona fide DEBTS heretofore contracted. [Treaty of Peace, September 3, 1783]. 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. [United States Constitution, Article VI, Section 1]. The validity of the Public Debt of the United States AUTHORIZED BY LAW, including debts incurred for the payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion shall not be questioned. [United States Constitution, Amendment XIV, Section 4]. Each new pledge above shows the time frame for the changes that were made to the so-called government. This also means that any efforts taken to collect upon this debt shall not be questioned. So you should think about this very carefully before you rush out to work and donate to elect some new Congressman who will "make a difference." Yeah, right, and if pigs could fly… Second, I would like to ask how an American would ever know if the President, Congress, or courts are in treason when they have never read the Constitution? And yes, I remember what I wrote at the beginning about just read the darn thing! But this is in the nature of a lesson, to show you that even if you read what is put forth, it is probably a lie, and certainly not fully disclosed, unless you literally see everything. This is why it becomes necessary for you to have "faith" in the system, and why so much effort is put forth to be sure that you do have "faith," even in the face of mounting evidence that "something" is wrong. As long as you can be convinced that with a little more effort, one more election, one different man in the right place at the right time, we can solve all of these nagging little problems… As long as you can be convinced to continue to participate, the purpose and function of the Constitution can continue to be fulfilled. That purpose, and that function, has nothing to do with you except as your participation continues to benefit those in control of that corporation established by the Constitution. In this regard, I have corresponded with literally thousands of people on this subject of the Constitution, and I have never encountered a single one of them that can honestly claim to have read the entire Constitution for the United States. Now, before you start to think of arguing with me about this, finish reading! If anyone thinks that they have read the constitution, then I would ask that they immediately look in Black's Law Dictionary for the term, "incorporation by reference." In my sixth edition of Black's, it is on page 766. The actual description of the term is something like: 'The method of making one document of any kind become a part of another separate document by referring to the former in the latter, and declaring that the former shall be taken and considered as a part of the latter the same as if it were fully set out therein.' With this phrase in mind, examine Article 6, clause 1 of the Constitution. This reads: "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." Thus we see two "incorporations by reference" of an unspecified number of documents. Where are the documents describing the "Debts contracted" and the "Engagements entered into". Especially, where are the documents regarding the "engagements entered into" for remedying the bankruptcy under the Articles of Confederation? The phrase "as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation" would require that the entire document, including seals and signatures, be incorporated "the same as if it were fully set out therein." In clause two, there is the phrase, "and all Treaties made, or which shall be made,". This includes two more classes of documents that are incorporated by reference, i.e.- all past Treaties and all future Treaties. I am well aware of the Supreme Court decisions that no treaty can operate contrary to the constitution, however, as pointed out above, unless we see the "Engagements entered into" and all of the treaties that were made BEFORE the constitution was written, how can we mere mortals know if a NEW Treaty banning personal ownership of firearms for anyone under the jurisdiction of congress would be in conflict with one of the many documents that were made an integral part of the organic constitution as an "incorporation by reference"? Besides, any Treaty entered into by Congress IS binding upon their Exclusive Jurisdiction, as they can do anything they wish "within" the District of Columbia! The prohibition on Treaties not interfering with the limitations imposed by the Constitution is only for the rest of the country, where the Constitution is the law of the land. How many so-called "Patriots" are there who have made an oath to "defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic" can now say that they have read and understand the Constitution? I am looking for the documents that were incorporated by reference. I would really like some help on this, because I have located some of the treaties, but I would also like to have some of the "engagements entered into." I sincerely hope this helps everyone to understand that it is not possible to be truly informed about the Constitution, as there are simply to many secrets behind and within it. Once you reach this point of understanding, get ye out of her begins to make even more sense. EDUCATION One of the real problems that the People of the united States face is educating themselves, because those who benefit from our ignorance, are not going to volunteer the information required for our freedom! And our education begins with the most basic of all facts: everything you sign is a contract! Or you would not be asked to sign it!!!!!! When I was younger, I signed everything put before me. Now, you'll have a very difficult time making me sign anything that I did not write! And for sure I am not going to sign anything that is not completely before me, such as a bank signature card where you agree to abide by all the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve. After all, there are only about 7 million pages of statutes, rules, ordinances and the like involved, so why worry, right? This is particularly amusing to me when friends and neighbors argue with me about not being able to obey The True God's Laws, because there are just too many of them (about 728)! But these same people will willingly and even eagerly sign a contract to observe 7 million pages of rules and regulations without batting an eye, and then wonder why they are in trouble with the IRS, or the BATF, or any of the other numerous agencies of Washington, DC. If you are confused about this, read the Arman Condo Letter (Part IX), and follow up with Invisible Contracts, then What Is Money? (Part VII) By the time you finish this Series, you will be ready for the book The Science of Life, or, Man and his gods, and how to be free of them (Please ask if you want information about this book), and you will begin to understand why the book costs what it does. And you may even learn that it is the cheapest book you will ever purchase. When you look up the Constitution of 1789, take a look at the file 'ACOUNNES.ZIP'. See for yourself where the US went bankrupt. You'll be amazed by documents that prove your property right down to your shorts has been mortgaged to the world bankers, through the exclusive jurisdiction of Washington, DC. See also BANK_WAR.ZIP; Supreme Court statements that the 13th and 14th Amendments undermine the U.S,. Constitution and extend jurisdiction over "U.S. citizens" (and those who claim to be). Many citings that U.S. citizens are NOT protected by the Bill of Rights. Regulation, or Benefit? A friend just brought me some information that is very interesting. In the April, 1998, newsletter from the California Department of Real Estate (DRE), the DRE informs their licensees that under the "Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act" (welfare reform act of 1996) passed by the U.S. Congress (what a surprise!), the State of California must insure that no benefits are provided to illegal aliens. It is interesting to note that the DRE goes on to say: The definition of a public benefit includes professional and occupational licenses issued to individuals by state agencies." For years people have been told that these licenses are only "regulatory" in nature, to insure that the public is protected from unscrupulous or improperly trained personnel in positions that may be prone to cause serious injury (financial or physical) to the public. As you can see, the truth always comes out. Any license issued by any government is a benefit! And a contract, with the government. It is a privilege issued at the expense of your fellow man, and there is a cost. There is no such thing as a free lunch. We know this, but... we keep acting as if there is not absolute truth in the statement. Remember; any 'government' big and powerful enough to give you anything you need or want is also big and powerful enough to take from you anything someone else wants or desires! And I know that many of you are going to be in denial about what I have written. However, you should not be, and will not be, if you just continue to study and learn. There are no accidents in politics. Everything is carefully planned to occur in just the manner in which they do. And one of the pieces that I learned that really put everything in perspective for me concerns the so-called father of 'our' country; George Washington. I have always wondered exactly where the federal districts had their beginnings. I've seen much of the information developed about 'federalism' and 'federal zones', etc., but every time I thought I had finally arrived at the source of the infection, more information came to my view. On the internet, at 'http://civil-liberties.com', is a very interesting on-line book titled The United States is Still a Subject of Great Britain. Recently new to this on-line book is a summary section in which I found the following information: "In reading the Messages and Papers of the Presidents, vol. I, 1789- 1897, I discovered the following: Gentlemen of the Senate: Pursuant to the powers vested in me by the act entitled "An act repealing after the last day of June next the duties heretofore laid upon distilled spirits imported from abroad and laying others in their stead, and also upon spirits distilled within the United States, and for appropriating the same," I have thought fit to divide the United States into the following districts, namely: The district of New Hampshire, to consist of the State of New Hampshire; the district of Massachusetts, to consist of the State of Massachusetts; the district of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, to consist of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations; the district of Connecticut, to consist of the State of Connecticut; the district of Vermont, to consist of the State of Vermont; the district of New York, to consist of the State of New York; the district of New Jersey, to consist of the State of New Jersey; the district of Pennsylvania, to consist of the State of Pennsylvania; the district of Delaware, to consist of the State of Delaware; the district of Maryland, to consist of the State of Maryland; the district of Virginia, to consist of the State of Virginia; the district of North Carolina, to consist of the State of North Carolina; the district of South Carolina, to consist of the State of South Carolina; and the district of Georgia, to consist of the State of Georgia." March 4, 1791 (page 99). In George Washington's Proclamation of March 30, 1791, he declares the district of Columbia to be created and its borders established, he says further: "And Congress by an amendatory act passed on the 3rd day of the present month of March have given further authority to the President of the United States..." This replaced the States in Union with the District States in Union formally known as the States of... . This was also necessary for the newly formed Bank of the United States, February 25, 1791, to do business in the State of..., but is actually the District State. Subjection of the States of... was complete, all that was necessary was for a permanent state of war to exist, such as we have had since the Civil War, to invoke statutory law over the enemy, requiring them to obey all license requirements, because enemies have no rights in an occupied territory. Washington declared, under the War Powers, acting as Commander-in- Chief, that the States of the Union were now overlaid by District States, which as I think you know, removes the States boundaries as a matter of sovereignty, violating the Constitutional guarantee of a Republican form of government to the States in Union, Article 4, Sec. 4, which cannot take place if delegated authority is taken under the War Powers, not ceded by the Charter/Constitution. The Constitution granted legislative authority to Congress only over a ten square mile District, making Congress the supreme authority, Article 1, Sec. 17, over the District. Washington extended this District without Constitutional authority. Washington put in place officers of the District to oversee the District States. As a result of the military rule imposed by Washington, District courts and Appeals courts were ordered to enforce collection and fines and imprisonment of anyone defying the laws of the United States. THESE DISTRICTS CREATED BY GEORGE WASHINGTON HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED. The Judicial Districts were created by the Judiciary Act of 1789, two years before Washington said Congress gave him additional powers, thereby HE created District States, so the federal government could use the militias to crush the tax protesters in Pennsylvania, by Washington's order. Since the Judicial Districts already existed, why did they recreate them? Washington said he was dividing the United States into District States."... END OF QUOTE. There is more, and to understand fully, I urge you to read the entire book-on-line. However, the rest of this paragraph, as contained in the summary is, in my opinion, in error. The author of the summary goes on to talk about DIVIDING THE STATES, but that is not what happened. You must understand the difference between the United States and the united States. Washington divided the United States into districts, not the united States. The United States is formed BY the Constitution (and the Articles of Confederation); the united States are the union States, which formed the United States. This is a powerful distinction which must be understood for effective action in removing the legal disabilities of contractual obligations with the exclusive jurisdiction of the UNITED STATES. If it was not a powerful distinction, they would not have to contract you into the jurisdiction, but would assume all of the powers they desire without the "legal" niceties of a contract. To help understand a little better, look at Supreme Court Rule 45.1, which says that all process of that court is in the name of the president of the United States. The Supreme Court (and all courts subject to the rules laid down by the Supreme Court) can only be an executive branch (martial law) court. Since the ultimate court of appeal to all so-called courts now under the American BAR (British Accreditation Regency) Association in the United States is a martial law court, then all subordinate courts are also martial law courts operating in the federal districts originated by George Washington! (When you are looking up the Constitution of 1789, go to the file marked 'FEDJURIS.ZIP', and read a speech by Judge Yankovich at Stanford University showing federal jurisdiction in the courts.) There are three branches of government in the United States; legislative, executive and judicial. All three branches of government are capable of having their own courts, i. e., legislative = legislative tribunal; executive = courts-martial (martial law under the president acting as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces) and the judicial, which must operate in the Union States only under the rules of the common law (it is important to note that the third branch of the government, the judicial branch, has never been activated as required by the Constitution - David). I know of no legitimate state courts, which would be courts of the People under common law, in America at this time. No court operating in America can be a common law court if the said court is under the BAR, which owes allegiance to a foreign power, i.e., The City. The author of the summary quoted above correctly identified the problem, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution of the United States of America. However, in reading his works, I doubt if he truly understood the real nature of the problem: There is no law in Washington, DC. Anything goes. Anything, that is, that someone is willing to pay enough to make it worth while for the 'politicians' to act. After all, the UNITED STATES has the best politicians money can buy! Of course, "anything goes" subject to their willingness to be bound by and enter into additional treaties. If you wish to understand what I mean, study the record of those in Washington, DC, and the treaties made with the Indians. It becomes very obvious that the only treaties made and kept by "them" are the ones which personally benefit "them". There is one more quote from the summary, concerning Patrick Henry's speech of June 5, 1788, which is very important here: "Mr. Chairman... I rose yesterday to ask a question, which arose in my own mind. When I asked the question. I thought the meaning of my interrogation was obvious: The fate of this question and America may depend on this: Have they said, we the States? Have they made a proposal of a compact between States? If they had, this would be a confederation: It is otherwise most clearly a consolidated government. The question turns, Sir, on that poor little thing--the expression, We the People, instead of the States of America. I need not take much pains to show, that the principles of this system, are extremely pernicious, impolite and dangerous. Is this a Monarchy, like England-- a compact between Prince and people; with checks and balances on the former, to secure the liberty of the latter? Is this a Confederacy, like Holland--and association of a number of independent States, each of which retain its individual sovereignty?" The Confederate States of America. Perhaps that makes more sense to you now. Perhaps you should read the first sentence of the March 1, 1781, Articles of Confederation: "To all to whom these Presents shall come, we the under signed Delegates of the States affixed to our Names, send greeting." And maybe just a little more of this foundation document, which is superior law to the Constitution: Article I. The Title of this confederacy shall be "The United States of America." Article II. 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, in Congress assembled. Perhaps all of us can now begin to see where our freedoms and Rights went, and what the real intent behind the Constitution and all of the licenses and other contracts entered into with any arm of government really is. Because I bring witness to you, that until you identify the real basis of the problem, solutions are not possible. I also witness to you that freedom is really rather simple. The first basis of freedom is to not 'request' a privilege from any man or any creation of man which sets you above your fellow men. Such as a license. For to do so is to give prima facie evidence that the man or the creation of man that you demanded the privilege from is superior to you, with the authority to elevate you above other men. You give prima facie evidence that the said power is your sovereign. If every man and woman in America would realize this, our problems would evaporate. Government is an illusion, created by men for the benefit of men at the expense of other men. YOU give 'government' its force and effect by recognizing it, and by participating in it's games (i.e., voting, licensing, etc.). When enough People wise up, government goes away, or, at least, enough of it goes away that it can become manageable by We the People. Government is operated by parasites; men, and women, who have no wish nor ability to produce. They must exist at the expense of others. Politicians, bureaucrats, lawyers, judges, professional military; all of these have one thing in common: Most, 99% most, have never worked a day in their lives, producing something for themselves or their fellow man. When you take away the incentive for parasites, they go away or they die off! Their incentive is called taxation. License fees are taxation. To understand this better, read the Constitution. The only taxes authorized by the Constitution, excise and impost taxes and duties, are designed to protect the People of the united States from foreigners. Scripture tells us that only foreigners are to be taxed. Direct taxes (on land, income, labor, etc.) are forbidden, except in Washington, DC, where Congress has exclusive jurisdiction! Congress' incentive to tax ends when We the People stop going to them with hat in hand asking for a special privilege, a benefit, or a license. When We the People quit volunteering into their exclusive jurisdiction! Oh, by the way, the Constitution is NOT suspended! I remember hearing all about "the suspension of the Constitution" and the talk about how "the judges don't respect the Constitution" and how "the politicians ignore the Constitution"! Nothing could be further from the truth. The problem is not with them; It's our problem. The Constitution is very dear and important to those in Washington, DC. After all, it's the source of their power, so they certainly are not about to suspend it! All they want to do is to figure out how to entice each and every one of the People of the several States to contract with their exclusive jurisdiction for some privilege/benefit. And it does not matter if the so-called Amendments to the Constitution are ratified by the several States or not. (It's THEIR Constitution, People!) Such as all of the nonsense about the so-called Sixteenth Amendment. The Amendments after the first thirteen (I'm referring to the original Thirteenth Amendment) were simply adopted as part of the municipal code of the District of Columbia by the UNITED STATES, and they have no force and effect outside of the territory of the UNITED STATES except for those under contract into the exclusive jurisdiction wherein the so-called amendments ARE important. The same is true of all acts of Congress. Congress passes two types of bills. They differ in how they are numbered. Some begin with H, and most with HR. Those beginning with HR are for the municipal code of Washington, DC, and mean nothing to the several States. And the men who serve in Washington understand this very well. It is only We the People who are confused. We have to be made to believe that it is in our interest to volunteer into their exclusive jurisdiction. After all, if they were sitting there on the Potomac, all by themselves, with no subjects to pay them and give them power, it wouldn't be much fun, now would it? So when you come right down to it, whose fault are the problems that we in America are experiencing? The politicians? The bankers? The cops? Or is it our fault? I know where I think the blame lies. It lies with the Constitution and those who serve it, and we who participate with them. Look at all of the problems in America. Look at what is happening to many Americans. Look at the prisons full of men and women who never harmed anyone. Look at all of the abortions, the drugs, the Gestapo agencies, the millions of pages of so-called laws, the federal registry, the 'president' writing law (executive orders), look at all of it very closely. All of this is happening, not in spite of the Constitution, but because of the Constitution. The Constitution is the author of all this misery, deceit and crime. The Constitution, and its fatal flaw. Chose this day who you will serve: The One True God, or Mammon. I hope this paper makes the choices we, each and every one, make each day a little easier to understand. And if you chose to continue your relationship with Mammon, then quit belly-aching and pay the taxes, because you owe them! When you take privileges from the government, and then refuse to pay the taxes due, they rightly label you a tax protester. If you owe the tax, pay it! Bless you, each and every one, and through our combined efforts, I pray that once again The One True God may bless the united States, these Union States. One day, perhaps, these Republics; These Confederate States of America! "If you believe certain words, you believe their hidden arguments. When you believe something is right or wrong, true or false, you believe the assumptions in the words which express the arguments. Such assumptions are often full of holes, but remain most precious to the convinced". Book Three of Dune, page 244. What is a belief? Simply put, a belief is an assumption accepted without proof being offered. The Constitution is a great document, right? Yet you know a tree by its fruit, not by its roots. In medieval Europe, a serf on his Lord's land owed the first 25% of the newly created wealth of the soil to his master. Today, in America, the land of the "free", at least 65% goes to the hidden masters! In Bill Clinton's 1993 report on the budget to Congress, it was admitted that the accumulative tax rate in the United States was 65%, and would be 85% by 2005. (They know and understand exactly what is going on.) Simply put, this means that when you buy a loaf of bread for $1.00, 65 cents is taxes. When you buy a house for $100,000.00, $65,000.00 is taxes. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the "fruit" of the Constitution. Summary: There has been some additional pages added to this paper. I have also been told that a brief description of the facts contained herein is necessary. The facts are simple; 1. The Constitution was the answer to The Declaration of Independence. 2. The Constitution was the formative document for a new Crown colony, placed in the united States on a piece of ground to be ceded by Virginia/Maryland. This gives the United States the same status under International Law as Canada. This was done by men who had no desire to see the "colonies" separate from Britain. Men who deeply felt the need for a "king". 3. The Fourteenth Amendment was the final installment of the answer to The Declaration of Independence. This was the purpose of the Civil War. See the essay United States citizen, Yes or No? 4. If you are under the legal disability of any contract to Congress through the municipal code of Washington, DC, you are a subject of the said Crown colony. You are a subject of the King. 5. Under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress simply means under feudal law, i.e., the King's privilege. (In Part XIX, we will look at how oaths are used to bind us to this jurisdiction.) 6. If you are working on "reforming" Washington, DC, and trying to "elect" the "right people for the job", if you are trying to involve others in this nonsense, you are trying to do the impossible! Washington, DC, is exactly what it was intended to be, and you will never change that! 7. The only solution to Washington, DC, is to stop playing "their" games, and stop supporting it! This will do one of two things: they will either die on the vine, or they will come after everyone (good luck to them if they dare to do this!). Either way, it is the only way we will ever solve the problem. Anything short of solving your legal disability problems with their exclusive jurisdiction is simply feeding them more power and more authority. And, more importantly, giving them more time to plan their final, apocalyptic scenario which will crush our People. I don't know what that scenario will be, but I have some pretty good ideas, and most of our People will never even understand what has happened to them! Good luck, and God Bless! And do not lose heart. I would not be doing this if there were not a solution! Keep reading, and all will become clear. "Those who engage in politics do so for self-interest. It is extreme folly to expect that having elected someone who you desire to serve your self-interest, that the individual so elected will not then serve his own self-interest, and thus, serve those with the most money. This is the history of man’s government on earth, and those who engage with such governments without understanding this fact of human nature do so at their own peril, and through their own ignorance. To rail at the betrayal of "your trust" while working in your own interest is not only ignorance, it is self-betrayal at it’s worst, and not only betrayal of yourself, but of your family, friends and nation as well." David Gould (If the following seems to be disconnected in any way with Part II as a sequence, please bear with me. I learn also, and the following has been added long after this paper was written because I did not have access to the information before. At least, I did not have access to the view that some of the following imparts, and it is important enough to add to this without disturbing the original information. I do this in this manner for two reasons; I have been told that this paper is good, and I do not think I can make it better by chopping it up. It is necessary for you to see that I continue to learn and continue to search for the answers that we all seek. This Series in an incomplete work, and will remain an incomplete work until America is re-established as a Republic, or is destroyed. You will be the ones to make that choice between re-establishment and destruction. David When Congress went Sine Die in 1861, the result was to create a vacuum which Lincoln moved to fill. On his authority, and at the point of the bayonets of the standing army of the United States, Lincoln called Congress back into session and they proceeded to enact the plans of the bankers in America. This was done to create a different corporation which would, at some point in the future, not be bound by the restrictions imposed by the original Constitution. This included removing the original Thirteenth Amendment, and creating three new ones. Once this was completed, this new Constitution was adopted (the Amendments were adopted; not ratified) as the bylaws of a new corporation formed in 1871: The Private Corporation known as "The District of Columbia" was created in 1871 under the District of Columbia Organic Act at U.S. Feb. 21 1871, c. 62, 16 Stat. 419. Later another name was given to that corporation: The United States Government. It is very important that you realize that though this corporation has a 'sounds like government name', it is not a government. Even though it was lawfully charged with the responsibility of carrying out the actual (original) government's business needs, it is not the government. It is only a private corporation. Corporations are not all necessarily held in terms of stockholders. At the time of its creation the actual government of the United States of America owned the corporation. That ownership lasted until 1944, where in the Bretton Woods Agreement, 'The United States Government' was quit claimed to the 'International Monetary Fund'. That ownership has remained the same from that time until this. All of that is authorized by the Actual Constitution. For reference, see "Exclusive Jurisdiction." I know this may sound odd, to any man that has fallen for the 'Great Foundations of America's' lies, but it is accurate none the less. Now, the next piece of information concerns research that a man I am now in contact with is doing overseas. What he has found is that nearly every "tax code" is identical in wording. Word for word identical, in every English speaking nation that he has checked to date. I have since learned that the tax codes of the world are virtually identical, and why not? The so-called IRS collects original taxes from over 270 nations. The IRS collects taxes in the District of Columbia at the private corporation's request. The International Monetary Fund is one of the key corporations behind the United Nations. So it should be no surprise that these nations use identical codes. Why would we expect that they would rewrite it? What difference does it make? If you are subject to their jurisdiction, you must pay the tax. I know that these things seem inappropriate to people that do not understand the fundamental difference between the national government (original jurisdiction) and the corporation in existence today, but that's because the natural government of our nation was vacated of its officers by 1917. Those seats sat vacant between 1917 and 1944 when The United States Government found a new owner to solve their dilemma of bankruptcy. Remember reading of when one bank takes over another because the first bank is insolvent? The same thing happened with the Bretton Woods agreement and the United States government. That is why, today, the Treasury of the United States government is the bank account for the International Monetary Fund. Always keep in mind that the original jurisdiction established for the people of the several states provided a jurisdiction where they did not need to contract into the king’s jurisdiction, through his Crown Colony established by the original Constitution. To so contract is voluntary, and America is the only nation in which this is so on the face of the earth. To me, this is what makes America the promised land. Only, we forgot what the blessings of liberty truly are, and it is taking some very severe lessons to make this apparent again. The following is what is wrong with America; it is only half of the answer. If the writer would simply think: The solution is simple ... convince people to stop signing government forms... if their compliance is absolutely, positively required and mandated by law ... then no signature is necessary. For example, no one signs an agreement say that they will not murder. "Think upon these things next time you make the statement: "How can they get away with that?" or "What is/has happened in our county ?" "Try to remember which country you want to be a citizen of... "Two Different and Distinct Nations "The idea prevails with some, indeed it has expression in arguments at the bar, that we have in this country substantially two national governments; one to be maintained under the Constitution, with all its restrictions; the other to be maintained by Congress outside and independently of that instrument, by exercising such powers as other nations of the earth are accustomed to... I take leave to say that, if the principles thus announced should ever receive the sanction of a majority of this court, a radical and mischievous change in our system will result. We will, in that event, pass from the era of a constitutional liberty guarded and protected by a written constitution into an era of legislative absolutism... It will be an evil day for American Liberty if the theory of a government outside the Supreme Law of the Land finds lodgment in our Constitutional Jurisprudence. No higher duty rests upon this court than to exert its full authority to prevent all violation of the principles of the Constitution." - Honorable Supreme Court Justice John Harlan in the 1901 case of Downes v. Bidwell. "I have added the emphasis in the form of italics and bold print to show that the prophecy of this Supreme Court Justice, has come true today. Michael Heit Chairman The American Heritage Party of Montana http://gallery.in-tch.com/~bearman/ahpom10a.html A further clarification via Brother Gregory: "Gregory Thomas. Williams" ekklesia@presys.com and from: Clifford Emeric There is a simple way to view this story by realizing we have two constitutions: (a) The Constitution of the United States of America and (b) The United States Constitution. The second came about as a result of the incorporation of 1871/1878 which created the United States Government, which is a government for the District of Columbia. Of course, the Constitution provided for a government of the District of Columbia, but the powers that be wanted to organize it differently, and the Constitution gave them the power to do as they please within the 10 mile square area allotted to D.C as a seat of government within the Constitution. The Constitution of the United States of America actually has the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments (and possibly the 16th amendment) prior to 1871. After the incorporation a new Constitution was created as by- laws of the corporation, which dropped the 13th amendment. (I do take exception to this, and below I will show why. – David) They renamed the original 14th, 15th, & 16th amendments to the new Constitution the 13th, new 14th and new 15th amendments. Then a new 16th amendment was added around 1913-1916 (I forget exactly when). One example of this is the Constitution of Colorado, which plainly shows the new 13th amendment abolishing slavery as the 14th amendment prior to 1871. This new Constitution applies to the Federal Zone only and hence it is lawful. It simply does not apply to the republic: it applies only to the UNITED STATES. The incorporation created a democracy and gave them more flexibility to implement Roman Civil Law. No amendment has been added to the original Constitution since 1871, and the corporate amendments 16 to 27 of the corporate constitution are not applicable to the republic. I do not believe their intentions towards us is at all amicable, and I also believe their intent is to one day make this new Constitution generally applicable, by consent of the people. This is as I explained in this paper; in essence, you have two corporations, and two Constitutions, one subordinate to the other, and both "within" Washington, DC. The new one was installed by the military power of Washington, DC, and the president acting in his capacity as commander in chief of the armed military might of the original corporation. This, of course, is why the original people of the colonies were so distrustful of standing armies. Brothers Clifford and Anthony, however, have added some very valuable clarifications which I truly thank them for. As we look at this aspect of the federal jurisdiction, the nature of the contracts which we must enter into once again becomes very evident. It is voluntary, my friends. And, still, the picture becomes clearer as more information becomes available. I think that this occurs not so much because of new information, as by more understanding and a different manner of looking at what is already known. The researchers must digest information just as much as you do so that the final pieces fall into place. The following just came from The Informer, and it is quite instructive when taken with the piece above. Enjoy. Believe me, I did, and my understanding did increase. From: "Inhabitant of the Conquered lands" jay rutledge States: " I believe the following, however, are incorrect:. "The parties of interest consist of the People within the exterior boundaries of the State, the State it self, and the United States." Per Padleford no person is a party of interest to the U.S. Constitution. The states are the parties of interest. The people were the grantors or settlers of powers of sovereignty. Also, I do not understand the United States as a party of interest then." Answer: The people are the origin of all authority. The three branches of the Republic are the People, within the exterior boundaries of the States, the States, and the United States. The People are not party to the Union within the constituted document known as the Constitution of the United States for the United States of America. The People are represented within the House of Representatives. The States are represented within the Senate. The 17th Amendment not withstanding. The Senators should be appointed by the State Legislatures, not by the so-called will of the people. The Executive Branch is controlled by the State Legislatures through the electors. It is the failure of Americans to stand for the Law that has allowed this "Social Democracy" radiating from the shores of the Potomac to perpetrate the current fraud. The Articles of Confederation still have force in effect. The Constitution is simply a document to empower the Confederacy’s Agency, the United States. The first three Articles of the Constitution of the United States for the United States of America simply state the three administrative agencies of the National Governance. The Third Administrative Branch established in Article III, has never been convened. The First Congress of the United States empowered it’s own Legislative Tribunal on September 23, 1789, and called it the "Supreme Court." The National Governance administered on behalf of the States united under the Articles of Confederation up until December of 1860. Then the Congress of the United States for the United States of America adjourned Sine Die. This is when an alliance between the Executive Branch operating with the Sine Die Congress of the United States in March of 1861 established the militant armed force of the United States. The Reconstruction Act of March 2, 1867, still in force, coupled with the "14th" Amendment empowered the military occupation of the States of America. This Military Occupation was further enhanced on December 13, 1913, with the Congressional creation of it’s privately charted monetized debt service center. (The Federal Reserve. – David) On March 9th, 1933, the Bank Conservation Act empowered the President to extend the licensing authority that the Executive Branch had been brandishing since July 13th, 1861. (Title 50, section 207, and 208, United State Code.) (The original bankruptcy. – David) The American People have been denuded with over 150 years of governmental propagation doled out in the Government Schools. The United States is the "National Socialistic Democracy." Wherein the Will of the majority within the Congress of the United States is the oppression of the minority within the States of America. The Republic has died a slow death. The Republic now lies dormant for the failure of Americans to comprehend the tyranny radiating from the Shores from the of the Potomac. Make no mistake, the United States is the "NEW WORLD ORDER." The United States apparently has military agreements with the Butchers of Tiananmen Square, and the ghouls of the Kremlin. These agreements appear to have been in place since it’s Agency, the United Nations was empowered under the questionable actions of the Congress of the United States and the Executive Branch in August of 1945. Make no Mistake, the United Nations is simply the most devious backhanded tool of oppression of the United States to complete what appears to be the de facto military occupation of the United States of America and the World. This Date, July 14th, only 212 years after the fall of the Bastille, 223 years after the proclamation of the Declaration of Independence, and 218 years after the formal creation of the United States; the United States has posted troops in over 105 nations around the world, and imported unknown tens of thousands of foreign troops under the auspices of the United Nations to occupy the States of America. The United States was constituted by the States to administer limited and delineated duties as an Agency on behalf of the States. The United States is the governance created by the States for the established of regular Commerce amongst the States, International Commerce, and military protection from both domestic and foreign enemies. Three Acts of the Congress of the United States: July 13th, 1861, October 7, 1917, and March 9, 1933, empowered the President of the United States to issue License to People who are in commerce within and without the States, whom would be considered to be in obstruction and in insurrection against the Laws of the United States. (Get any license, join commerce under the king. – David) Many Americans have failed to comprehend the insincerity of it’s own Agency, the United States, and it’s Nul Tiel instrumentalities, known as this State. Tens of millions of Americans are inundated every day with the most sophisticated campaign of Disinformation, Mastracht, and apparently nothing less than downright lies. The coming collapse will be utter chaos to the American People who apparently willingly, knowingly, and intentionally support what appears to be the most successful despotic Tyranny in known history. Please read the above carefully, and understand that what is going on is caused by us; by our unwillingness to disconnect with "the system." By our unwillingness to work to correct what is going on by educating others, and by our unwillingness to withdraw support for the United States. It is by our cooperation that the fraud of the "United States" continues. Please, always remember this: The solution is simple ... convince people to stop signing government forms... if their compliance is absolutely, positively required and mandated by law ... then no signature is necessary. For example, no one signs an agreement say that they will not murder. A caveat to the above information about the 14th Amendment, and whether it can be a part of the original Constitution: To begin with, the Congress went Sine Die, and they were not capable of beginning the process of an Amendment to the Constitution, much less of completing what is necessary to change the basic governing laws of the nation. In addition to this, the various states would have nothing to do with the Amendment. The "government" then sent armed men into the various state legislatures to see to it that the Amendment was "ratified." This still did not do the trick, and, instead of ratification, the Amendment was "adopted": Please see: http://www.ptialaska.net/~swampy/amend_14/amend_14.html The Secretary of State at that time, William H. Seward, understood what was going on: "Now, therefore, be it known that I, William H. Seward, Secretary of State of the United States, in execution of the aforesaid act, and of the aforesaid concurrent resolution of the 21st of July, 1868, and in *** thereto, do hereby direct the said proposed amendment to the Constitution of the United States to be published in the newspapers authorized to promulgate the laws to the United States, and I do hereby certify that the said proposed amendment has been adopted… Pay close attention to this word: adopted. More on this in a minute. in the manner heretofore mentioned by the States specified in the said concurrent resolution, namely the States of Connecticut, New Hampshire, Tennessee, New Jersey, Oregon, Vermont, New York, Ohio, ***, West Virginia, Kansas, Maine, Nevada, Missouri, Indiana, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Iowa, Arkansas, Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana, South Carolina, Alabama, and also by the legislature of the State of Georgia, the States thus specified being more than three- fourths of the States of the United States. "And I do further certify that the said amendment has hereto be valid in all intents and purposes as a part of the Constitution of the United States. "In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the Secretary of State to be affixed. "Done at the city of Washington the 28th day of July, in the year of our lord Jesus, and of the Independence of the United States of America the ninety third. "[SEAL] "William H. Seward" "Secretary of State" "In this matter nothing has happened to change the mind or solve the doubts of the Secretary, but as an executive officer, he was compelled to obey a joint resolution of Congress whatever his own opinion might be of the power of Congress to pass it, that being, as I have said above, a judicial question. /s/ Andrew Johnson, President Now, look at the comment made by the president. This makes it very clear that the Amendment was never ratified; instead, it was adopted. Black’s Law Dictionary, 6th edition; Ratify. To approve and sanction; to make valid; to confirm; to give sanction to. To authorize or otherwise approve, retroactively, an agreement or conduct either expressly or by implication. See Approval; Confirm; Ratification. Ratification. In a broad sense, the confirmation of a previous act done either by the party himself or by another;… Adoptive act. An act of legislation which comes into operation within a limited area upon being adopted, in manner prescribed therein, by the inhabitants of that area. What area does Congress "inhabit?" The District of Columbia, and this is why every Amendment after this was "adopted." They only apply to the District of Columbia. Now, at least two state Supreme Courts, one being Utah, have declared the 14th Amendment un-Constitutional. They have no power to do that. This is a subject which can be addressed only by Congress, as it applies exclusively to their "exclusive legislation" area. If you study this subject, you are going to find where the courts refuse to rule on the validity of the 14th Amendment. The federal courts have consistently ruled, and they are correct, that this is a "political question." Black’s Law Dictionary, 6th edition; Political Questions. Questions of which courts will refuse to take cognizance, or to decide, on account of their purely political character, or because their determination would involve an encroachment upon the executive or legislative powers. And the courts are correct; Congress was simply acting within the powers delegated to it by the Constitution and legislating within their "area" of exclusive jurisdiction. Within this understanding, there is another point which needs to be made here: the term People is a specific class that ratified the contract (Constitution) and not the people of the several States in general, therefore those that created and ratified it (the Constitution), did intend to bring under control, the people in general, under this jurisdiction. To understand this, look at the Preamble to the Constitution, and look in particular, at the capitalization of the word People; this signifies that it refers to a specific group of People, and not the people of the nation in general. We forget even what little English grammar we have been taught! As a further explanation, let me add here what the people of the 1790s understood very well; the Second Amendment (thank you, Ken): Lost in the gun rights debate, much to the detriment of American freedom, is the fact that the Second Amendment is an "AMENDMENT". (Actually, the Second Amendment is actually an ARTICLE; not an Amendment. The Bill of Rights has it’s own Preamble, and stands as a separate document. However, what is being said here is correct, as far as the meaning of the "changes in intent" accomplished by the Second Article of the Bill of Rights. The Articles of the Bill of Rights did not change the wording "within" the Constitution, but they did clarify and, in this case in particular, add absolute prohibitions to the Constitution. – David) None of the "Articles in Amendment" to the Constitution (commonly referred to as the Bill of Rights) stand alone and each can only be properly understood with reference to what it is that each Article amended in the body of the original Constitution. It should not be knowledge to any American claiming patriot status that the Constitution was first submitted to Congress on September 17, 1787 WITHOUT ANY AMENDMENTS. After much debate, it was decided that the States would not adopt the Constitution as originally submitted until "further declamatory and restrictive clauses should be added" "in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its (the Constitutions) powers". (This quote is from the Preamble to the Amendments.) The first ten Amendments were not ratified and added to the Constitution until December 15, 1791. (The Constitution was not officially "adopted" by the states until the Bill of Rights was presented, and both were adopted at the same time. The Constitution was not in force prior to the adoption of the Bill of Rights, and this is why George Washington did not take office prior to this. – David) In this Light: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." What provisions of the original Constitution is it that the Second Amendment is designed to "amended"? THE SECOND AMENDMENT IS AMENDING THE PROVISIONS IN THE ORIGINAL CONSTITUTION APPLYING TO THE "MILITIA". The States were not satisfied with the powers granted to the "militia" as defined in the original Constitution and required an amendment to "prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers." What was it about the original Constitutional provisions concerning the "Militia" that was so offensive to the States? To answer this one must first understand that the word "militia" was used with more than one meaning at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. One popular definition used was one often quoted today, that the "Militia" was (and is) every able bodied man owning a gun. As true as this definition is, it only confuses the meaning of the word "militia" as used in the original Constitution that required the Second Amendment . "Militia" as amended by the Second Amendment is first found in the original Constitution at Article 1, Section 8, clause 15, where Congress is granted the power: "To provide for the calling forth the MILITIA to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrection and repel Invasions." Article 1, Section 8, Clause 16 further empowers Congress: "To provide for the organizing, arming, and disciplining, the MILITIA, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;" Any "patriot" still out there still want to be called a member of the "MILITIA" as defined by the original Constitution? If so, obey your commander: Article 2, Section 2, Clause 1 empowers Clinton: "The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the MILITIA of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States;" The only way the States would accept the "MILITIA" as defined in the original Constitution was that the Federal "MILITIA" be "WELL REGULATED". The States realized that "THE SECURITY OF A FREE STATE" required that the "MILITIA" as originally created in the Constitution be "WELL REGULATED" by "restrictive clauses." How did the States decide to insure that the Constitutional "MILITIA" be "WELL REGULATED"? By demanding that the Second Amendment be added to the original Constitution providing: "THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED." The States knew that "PEOPLE" with "ARMS" would "REGULATE" the Federal "MILITIA"! Now the brightness of the Light may require sun glasses: "A WELL REGULATED MILITIA, BEING NECESSARY TO THE SECURITY OF A FREE STATE, THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED." Is it not amazing how understanding clears the air? And please note, in reading this with a new understanding, the Second Amendment becomes an absolute ban on any type of restrictions placed upon the people owning arms by the "government." ANY restrictions. Want a machine gun? Well, if you are a United States citizen, no, because you have the same status as a slave/property, and as such, no Rights. Please see the federal court decisions regarding United States citizens and the Bill of Rights. Now, one more piece of the puzzle; the Preamble to the Bill of Rights. Once you understand what is being said in this Preamble, everything else begins to make more sense!: Preamble to the Bill of Rights; Articles in AMENDMENT to the CONSTITUTION CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES begun and held at the city of New York, on Wednesday the Fourth of March, one thousand seven hundred and eighty nine THE Conventions of a number of the States, having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, express a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declamatory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution; RESOLVED by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembles, two thirds of both Houses concurring that the following Articles be proposed to the legislatures of the several States, as amendments to the Constitution of the United States, all, or any of which Articles, when ratified by three fourths of that said Legislatures, to be to all intents and purposes, as part of the said Constitution; viz.. ARTICLES in addition to, and Amendments of the Constitution of the United States of America, proposed by Congress, and ratified by the Legislatures of the several States, pursuant to the fifth Article of the original Constitution. Frederick Augustus Muhlenberg, Speaker of the House of Representatives. John Adams, Vice-President of the United States, and President of the Senate. Attest, John Beckley, Clerk of the House of Representatives. Sam A. Otis Secretary of the Senate. THE BILL OF RIGHTS the first ten Amendments Ratified December 15, 1791 Note : This is a part of America some "sinners" have attempted to hide. I believe most folks can now fully understand the rest of this Document. Until you begin to make a difference in your own town, in your own Township, and in your own family, nothing will change and we will never return to the Republic that was designed to permit us to be separate from the king if that was our desire. Much more on this in Part XX. Now that you have finished Part II, and if you are comfortable and ready to proceed, please go to Part III. Please, do not forget to go to the for the Part you are ready for next, and do not skip Parts! It really is not wise. Part III is different, and a number of people have told me they like it the best of any of the sections. You might let me know your opinion as well. A good part of Part III is to prepare you for some of the information to follow. Please bear with me as you read it.
