What part of illegal, unconstitutional and treasonous don’t people understand? Part 5

Are You a Free American Sovereign, or a Blind American Slave?

True freedom is a cherished ideal that many in our world know little about. To taste of it is to experience an element of God Himself. People across the world long to have freedom but are suppressed under corrupt government leaders and fellow citizens. American Founding Fathers took steps to bring freedom to a new nation... but this freedom has been turned into a slavery. There are none so enslaved than those who think they are free. Americans are frittering away true freedom, our heritage, our wealth, our sovereignty, all for the illusion of freedom most have.

Americans view the 50 states as a "single country," or "one nation." That is what we’ve been taught to believe and accept, but this is NOT what our Founding Fathers desired or intended in creating a united group of sovereign States. In actual fact, each State of the "union of States" is a sovereign "nation" of its own, or was meant to be until the federal government (United States) usurped authority of the States, and the States acquiesced this power, illegally, to the federal government. It is a very convoluted piece of deception that has occurred, which actually is another step toward one world government, and here’s a brief touch on how it works. Be ready to be amazed and shocked. You may have to read this several times to get the big picture.

Contrary to popular belief, the so called "civil war" was NOT about slavery, for the most part. It was about forcing the south BACK into the fold of the "union" from which they decided to secede. The south walked out of Congress, taking with them the necessary votes to make any laws and actions taken BY congress, legal and Constitutional. The union was threatened. In order for the union to survive, (for the federal government to continue OVER the union... Imagine eventually 50 truly FREE States/Nations and the wall it would present to one world government proponents?), they HAD to get them back, and so they did, using slavery as the pretext for a horrible war to force them back. A far larger agenda was in the works which stretches across the decades.

"If the North triumphs it is not alone the destruction of our property; it is the prelude to anarchy, infidelity, the ultimate loss of free and responsible government on this continent. It is the triumph of commerce, the banks, factories. We should meet the federal invader on the outer verge of just and right defense and raise at once the black flag. No quarter to the violators of our homes and firesides." Thomas Jonathan (Stonewall) Jackson, May 1861.

Prophetic words, to say the least. Who runs this country today? Government, commerce, big business, banks... What better way to stir people into a war, (even against their own brothers), than under false, seemingly "just and right" pretenses? Sound familiar recently with Iraq? History has been rewritten to confuse the plot and to obfuscate the real facts behind this split in the union. In the years since, steps were taken to slowly remove personal sovereignty from a united group of sovereign States and individuals, and place it under the federal government... The United States. This means where a person was NOT subject to the federal government or to the State, except in very limited ways, under subterfuge by federal and State government, and personal acquiescence on the Peoples part, we submitted to federal and State authority, thereby becoming slaves all over again, but unknowingly.

The union began as a group called "the several States." These were the original States which began in the early years of our country. All of the States were to have their own sovereignty... their own Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of government, their own Constitution, laws, etc., apart from the federal government, which was simply an entity created by the People of each of the States to defend, protect and care for the general welfare of all States and People. It was never intended to be a "country" or "nation," or the Frankenstein jurisdictional monster it has become. That is why it was originally called the "united" States, with a small "u" and emphasis on "States." The federal government wasn’t the focus.

The United States, "capital "U," is the federal government ONLY, and consists of the District of Columbia and the following areas: Midway Islands, 1867, Puerto Rico,1898, American Samoa, 1899, Virgin Islands, 1927, Federated States of Micronesia, 1947, Marshall Islands, 1947, Northern Mariana, 1947, Palua,1947, and Guam, 1950. These areas are what are legally classified as being "The United States" and over which the "United States government" has the ONLY legal and constitutional jurisdiction, for the most part.

The areas which eventually became the 50 united States, began as "territories" of the Federal United States, but as the States formed, the federal government, by law, lost most all jurisdiction over those states and each State became a sovereign nation and People. Here’s where the deception and "jurisdictional coop d’etat" took place by our government.

Prior to the event which will be described below, "citizenship" involved ONLY the State you were born in. You could not be a citizen of two States at the same time. It was single citizenship. Born in Iowa, you were a citizen of Iowa. Move to Colorado, you became a citizen of Colorado. Simple. Enter the 14th Amendment. When the African-born slaves were freed, there was a problem in that they had no State citizenship. They were born in Africa, or born of non-citizens in the States, and therefore despite being born IN the State, they still were NOT legal citizens. The 14th Amendment was passed to (among other things) provide citizenship for these slaves... but it was a citizenship of the United States... the federal government and ITS jurisdiction, along with the specific STATE in which the previous slave lived.

By creating the 14th Amendment, all non-citizens were given citizenship of the "United States," and thereby brought under the jurisdiction of the federal government’s laws and requirements, like paying income taxes, which are required by any under the jurisdiction of the United States, such as the territories mentioned above. Federal government employees, and citizens of the territories ARE liable for income taxes, while most other Americans are NOT. This is because working for the federal government or living in a territory is classified as a "privilege," like having a corporation, and paying taxes for this privilege is required BY the federal government. They make the rules over their people, which does NOT have to be constitutional.

However, what was NOT realized, was that every natural American-born citizen, of whatever State, was forced into receiving ANOTHER citizenship... that of the United States. Dual citizenship was now created, and this instantly brought a sovereign citizen, formerly free of federal jurisdictional requirements and powers, UNDER such powers if they did not refute this. Sovereignty was stolen and most Americans still don’t realize it and haven’t done anything to regain their sovereignty.

Notice this case law prior to the 14th Amendment passage - (Emphasis mine);

"... for it is certain, that in the sense in which the word "Citizen" is used in the federal Constitution, "Citizen of each State," and "Citizen of the United States," are convertible terms; they mean the same thing; for the "Citizens of each State are entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States," and "Citizens of the United States" are, of course, Citizens of all the United States." [44 Maine 518 (1859) Hathaway, J. dissenting] Italics in original, underlines and C's added]

Case law AFTER passage of the 14th Amendment:

"It is quite clear, then, that there is a citizenship of the United States and a citizenship of a State, which are distinct from each other and which depend upon different characteristics or circumstances in the individual." [Slaughter House Cases, 83 U.S. 36] (1873) emphasis added]

"The first clause of the fourteenth amendment made negroes citizens of the United States, and citizens of the State in which they reside, and thereby created two classes of citizens, one of the United States and the other of the state." Cory et al. V. Carter, 48 Ind. 327 1874 head note 8 - emphasis added.

"We have in our political system a Government of the United States and a government of each of the several States. Each one of these governments is distinct from the others, and each has citizens of its own...." U.S. v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 1875. Emphasis added.

"One may be a citizen of a State and yet not a citizen of the United States." Thomas v. State, 15 Ind. 449; Cory v. Carter, 48 Ind. 327 (17 Am. R. 738); McCarthy v. Froelke, 63 Ind. 507; In Re Wehlitz, 16 Wis. 443. McDonel v. State, 90 Ind. 320, 323, 1883.

Worse than that, every State in America has unlawfully ceded State sovereign authority TO the federal government, through a number of means. First, all States have allowed the federal government... i.e. the IRS, for example, to exercise jurisdiction over their sovereign territory unlawfully. The IRS has jurisdiction over the United States, NOT the united union of States. States have acquiesced in many ways to federal jurisdiction as part of the federal government power base and to further enhance their own power over the people.

Second, by accepting federal funds, the State is accepting... what? "A Privilege," and this automatically forces States UNDER federal jurisdiction and that means they are to follow federal requirements. States are willingly doing this because it bridges them to the federal government, AND it allows them to subjugate YOU through their statutory laws, which is enforcement of defacto laws, under the color of real laws. In other words... enslavement of you and stripping you of finances and freedom, and controlling your life.

Each State government today is little more than an extension of the federal government, for all practical purposes. Rather than being "Colorado State," it is the "State of Colorado," the corporate, federalized State government, with all its statutory laws, many of which are illegal and unconstitutional. Individual sovereignty has been stripped from most Americans (unless you take the proper steps to regain that sovereignty) and we are now slaves to the system via a host of licensing and other requirements (taxes) telling us how to live and how to act.

Being a sovereign individual is a very powerful thing, but most Americans have simply accepted their slavery, and do not rebut it and take their sovereignty back. By willingly remaining under the jurisdiction of the federal government and "the State," we have allowed many of our rights to be controlled, in essence, willingly giving them up.

The federal government is actually a "foreign" government in relation to the 50 states. It was meant to be a separate "thing," but not to become a replacement "nation" for the 50 sovereign nation/states. Preamble of Public Law, 15 United States Statutes at Large, chapter 249, pps 223-224 (1868).

In fact, look at the following:

Foreign Laws: "The laws of a foreign country or sister state." (Black's Law Dictionary, 6th Edition).

Foreign government: "The government of the United States of America, as distinguished from the government of the several states." (Black's Law Dictionary, 5th Edition).

The laws of the 50 states are all foreign to each other, and to the "United States" as it is commonly regarded today.

Foreign States: "Nations outside of the United States. Term may also refer to another state; i.e. a sister state. The term 'foreign nations,' ...should be construed to mean all nations and states other than that in which the action is brought; and hence, one state of the Union is foreign to another, in that sense." (Black's Law Dictionary, 6th Edition). (Emphasis mine)

Do you see how State (and People’s) sovereignty has been diluted, and slowly brought under the "corporate" beast? This is how the IRS obfuscates who is liable for income taxes. If you keep in mind who is "foreign" to whom, and who is liable according to code, you see how we’ve been deceived into the willing assessment of ourselves using the 1040 form when in fact most Americans are "foreign" to the United States laws and NOT under their jurisdiction. The government is to be under OUR jurisdiction. Imagine France trying to say they YOU owe them taxes. They are as "foreign"to the 50 States as the United States is.

Bouvier's Law Dictionary: Territory: "A part of the country separated from the rest and subject to a particular jurisdiction. A portion of the country subject to and belonging to the United States which is not within the boundary of any state or the District of Columbia. 262 U.S. 122; 3 Wheat 336, 390...The United States has supreme sovereignty over territory, [i.e. Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgins Islands, etc.] and congress has full and complete legislative authority over its (emphasis mine) people and government. (NOT the 50 states) 136 U.S. 1... In Relation to the United States: "...It is held as a well-established doctrine that the territories of the United States are entirely subject to the legislative authority of congress. They are not organized under the constitution, nor subject to its complex distribution of powers of government as the organic law, but are a creation exclusively of the legislative department, and subject to its [Congress'] supervision and control..." 96 Fed. Rep. 456, citing 16 How. 1 Kent, 243, 359, 1 Pet. 511164; 101 U.S. 129; 114 U.S. 15; 136 U.S. 1; 143 U.S. 135; 141 U.S. 174; 152 U.S. 1.

"Ballentine's Law Dictionary. Territory: 1. "A geographical region over which a nation exercises sovereignty, but whose inhabitants do not enjoy political, social or legal parity with the inhabitants of other regions which are constitutional components of the nation. With respect for the United States, for example, Guam or the Virgins Islands as opposed to New York, California or Texas." (Emphasis mine).

Remember the "territory" the United States obtained... (Louisiana Purchase, etc.) had, but gave away to people? As long as this territory was the U.S. government’s property, their laws governed it, but as soon as it became a sovereign State, they lost that control... but deceived us all into taking that control back.

Do you realize what the above definitions mean? The territories of the United States are not legally under the Constitution, but under the government of the United States. "Constitutional Components" of the nation involve free sovereign citizens, not people’s of any territory. The Constitution does cover every citizen in the "united States," but NOT everyone in the United States, citizen or not, including illegal aliens. You live in a territory, you are subject to their laws and rules. Can you see now why our government is walking all over the Constitution?

This jurisdictional coop d’etat allows them to "legally" ignore the Constitution completely, and to implement their own rules. People across the country are amazed at how Bush and the others can do what they are doing... and NOW you know WHY. It is because we are all slaves, under a defacto government, having willingly accepted this and allowing it to occur.

The Constitution limits the government where it does NOT have Constitutional jurisdiction, like in the 50 united States. However, all 50 States have opened the door to this jurisdiction, allowing "their" laws and powers to trump the Constitution, AND THEY KNOW THIS. The Constitution can ONLY be implemented where the federal government does NOT have jurisdiction. The governments... local, state and federal... still play the"Constitutional game" where it suits them, but it is being ignored and countered on a daily basis, especially in the courts where people (including most attorneys) are ignorant of how this works and how to thwart their game.

We the People have allowed this in ACCEPTING this jurisdictional tyranny, and generally speaking, the courts, the judges, the congress, the department of justice... ALL of these powers KNOW full well the implications of this, and are supporting it fully to destroy freedom and America while most Americans watch, and wonder what happened to their rights. Now you know.

If the powers of the United States government are mostly over their own territory ONLY, the ONLY way they could usurp the power from the 50 States, and the American People, was for them to extend this "jurisdiction"unconstitutionally, and then deceive We, the People, into willingly accepting this jurisdiction and NOT challenging it. Another word for it is fraud. Every agreement we’ve entered with the federalized States or the U.S. government, every drivers’ license, every contract entered, every 1040 form signed, EVERY shred of evidence we’ve agreed to that supports this jurisdictional encroachment is tacit agreement, or acquiescence to this theft and enslavement, and THIS maintains their power and control over us.

We are slaves to a master, thinking we are really "free." This is part of the plan to further enslave us all, and it is happening under the guise of the "war on terrorism." They created the enemy that we can all fear, (terrorism) then they tell us they will protect us, but they can ONLY do that if we give up more freedoms, pay more in hidden taxation and for wars, as they add a few more chains to our lives. If we resist, they will simply try to do another 911, or release a bug and create more fear in people, and steal more freedoms because people refuse to band together, exert their rights and protect themselves. The enemy has become huge, and we are most certainly in a "war on terror," but this is against our own people and government, and the worldwide agenda of one world government.

How obvious does it have to become before Americans will wake up? Are we past the point of no return? Are people so conditioned, so addicted to slavery and servitude that they don’t know how to handle real freedom? Like the guy in the first Matrix movie who was shown the truth about the real world, but couldn’t handle it and was willing to betray his own brothers and sisters working to free others, and voluntarily go back into his matrix so he didn’t have to deal with reality. Sovereignty carries with it responsibility. If you take your life in your own hands you also take upon yourself to act responsibly, legally, Constitutionally, and with integrity in regard to your own life, your family, your community, your fellow human beings, and the planet as a whole.

The only way our nation will survive is for the People to take back their sovereignty, gain courage to fight for real freedom, and work together to rid this country of the cancer, the parasites, the leaches, and the darkness that envelopes our collective mind. Every federal, state and local government employee is guilty of treason against the American People if they willingly support this unconstitutional structure and continue to oppress us, albeit, ignorantly for most of them.

Where else has our power and sovereignty been stripped from us? Did you know that you qualify for another, much more powerful vote than the one which you cast on election day? (...although our power in voting has been mooted by the voter fraud, using machines). This opportunity comes when you are selected for Jury duty which they can’t give over to a machine. (http://thematrixhasyou.org/jury-duty.html)In essence, the courts and attorneys in this country have mooted the voice of freedom and justice from coming from the People, taking THIS legal court jurisdiction away from the People through Jury tampering and manipulation. (More on that in a coming article).

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crises. The great point is to bring them the real facts." Abraham Lincoln

Is Abraham Lincoln’s statement pertinent to our day and age, or have we sold ourselves and our children into permanent slavery to blindly support the beast power that is raising its ugly head to destroy us? The Matrix that people live in WILL come down... it is just a matter of how and when... by the People, restoring freedoms, or by the enemy, closing the door on any chance of freedom. We have a choice NOW, and that choice is being slowly removed more and more by the day, till we will find ourselves completely helpless, weak and fearful, and having NO way to do a thing about any of it, except serve and die.

Ignorance in America will be our undoing: "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." -- Thomas Jefferson

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" Patrick Henry.

"Many people would sooner die than think; In fact, they do so." Bertrand Russell.

Unless we begin thinking, and acting, slavery and death will definitely be our primary lot.
