I am often asked, mostly by older Americans, "What happened to Checks and
Balances?"
For younger readers, let me explain. We were taught that our government
depends on the principle of "checks and balances" to function properly. The
Founders deliberately set up the State Governments as a "check" --- a means to
block --- Federal Government overreaches, and keep the whole machinery of
government "balanced".
Both the concept of "checks and balances" and the reality of it has faded
away and all levels of government ---county, state, and federal---have
increasingly become rubber stamps for each other. Why?
The short answer is federal corporation racketeering kickbacks, otherwise
known as "block grants".
Beginning in the 1930's the Rockefeller-sponsored Council of State
Governments began advocating "federal revenue sharing"---- a euphemism for state
governments receiving a portion of federal corporation profits in exchange for
doing whatever the federal corporation bosses wanted the state governments to
do.
Eventually, the then-existing state governments were led along bread crumb
by bread crumb to compromise their very structure and being and to allow
themselves to be incorporated as mere franchises of the federal corporation.
Just like Dairy Queen franchises they were then obligated to follow along in
lock-step, promote the brand, wear the colors and do everything according to
federal regulation and statute.
So, as a reality, the state governments were bribed into submission and the
federal corporation bosses gained a strangle-hold on their operations.
By 1966 all the various organizations operating as state governments had
taken the bait. They were obligated to continue in this quasi- federal satellite
status as a quid pro quo requirement of receiving federal block grants and
quickly became dependent on the hand-outs. They also lost all credibility as
governments of the people, by the people, or for the people and slid headlong
into being governments of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the
corporations----at the expense of the people these institutions are supposed to
serve.
As time went on the corruption grew, and the more corrupt the state
governments became, the more federal "candy" they received and the more adept at
racketeering they became in their own right. In California the California
Franchise Tax Board reared its ugly head, and elsewhere, in Nevada and Delaware,
the race was on to promote business by passing "laws" that gave corporations
even more power and less liability. Perhaps most important of all, whatever
"Daddy" in DC wanted, he and his agencies got, no questions asked.
Fortunately for us, when these original state government organizations
decided to cross the line and incorporate as franchises of the federal
corporation, they ceased to have any actual standing as a sovereign government
and became private corporate enterprises in the business of providing
governmental services. Also, once incorporated as federal franchises, they
became foreign with respect to us, in the same way that Spain is foreign to
Bulgaria.
Unless we really are and voluntarily choose to be "United States Citizens"
or "citizens of the United States" they and their statutes have no power over
us. All their police departments are peopled by Mall Cops---- private security
forces with exactly the same authority as a aisle walker at Walmart. See the
Clearfield Doctrine and 22 U.S.C.A. 286 d.
This means that we are free to act as American State nationals and set up
our own lawful government on the land and decide for ourselves whether we want
to provide our own governmental services at the state level or hire some other
organization to provide state level services. After all, those who decided to
incorporate our state governments as federal franchises made that decision only
for themselves and in opposition to the requirements of our state governments to
retain true checks and balances. They have continued to presume that they have
the contract to provide us with state governmental services, but we are not
obligated to go along with that presumption.
We can choose another company to mow our lawn or we can do it ourselves.
They are in the position of service vendors and they can be fired without the
niceties of an election.
Neither of the federal corporations doing business as the UNITED STATES
(IMF) or THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (FEDERAL RESERVE) want us to realize these
facts, but facts they remain.
By objecting to their presumption that we are "United States Citizens" or
"citizens of the United States" and by recording our Acts of Expatriation
asserting our birthright political status as Virginians, Ohioans, Californians,
etc., owing our allegiance to the land and soil of our birth, we serve Notice
that we are not playing their corporate game and that they are merely here under
contract to provide services to us. We also serve Notice that our actual states
operating on the land jurisdiction--- the Wisconsin State, Virginia
Commonwealth, and so on-- are alive and well and populated with living,
breathing Americans.
These states, the states standing firmly on the land, are the states meant
to represent the people of this country----not some foreign corporation
franchises merely calling themselves the "State of Washington" or the "STATE OF
ALABAMA" surviving on kickbacks from parent corporations in DC.
The unincorporated states on the land, like the Missouri State, are the
missing links that need to be inserted back into the picture to establish and
maintain checks and balances and return our government to its intended mode of
operation, with the state governments being largely independent of the federal
government's corporate policies and exercising a wide latitude of control over
their own affairs.
In recent years the federal corporation(s) have even reached down into the
county level and by the hundreds county government organizations have joined in
the "federal block grant" kickback scheme. They have incorporated as
"franchises of the state franchises", and like the "STATE OF IOWA" the "JACKSON
COUNTY" franchises have knowingly or unknowingly surrendered their status as
sovereign elements of our lawful government and obligated themselves as
corporate franchises to abide by every federal directive.
Finally, these obligations have become too oppressive and so contrary to
local needs and sentiments that local people and local county governments are
pushing back and pulling away from the federal trough-----and in the process,
remembering who they really are and recalling the people they are meant to
serve.
Please visit this link to learn more about two such counties and what they
have done so far to restore local government of the people, by the people, and
for the people:
All over this country the American People and the organizations meant to
serve the living people are waking up from the bad dream of Rockefeller's
collectivist corporate government and realizing their mistakes. Either by
booting up completely new and separate county government organizations to
operate the actual land-based counties under the organic and public law, or by
voluntarily liquidating incorporated county franchises and resuming operations
as actual American county governments, the move is on.
I remember my Uncle Henry Schnur hearing about federal block grants for the
first time, circa 1965. He shook his head and said, "My Lord, people are dumb.
Where do they think all this federal money is coming from?"
The answer which was so obvious to him isn't necessarily obvious to people
now, so let me say it in words everyone can understand: all that "federal"
money came from us, from you and I. They were robbing Peter to pay Paul,
without even bothering to tell Peter about the arrangements they made "in his
behalf".
They stole our identities and incorporated us as "franchises" just as they
unlawfully converted our counties and states into corporate franchises and got
away with this via a similar names fraud scheme.
The perpetrators then used our good credit and our assets as collateral to
borrow against and they employed racketeering methods to force us to pay taxes
we never owed. This gave them plenty of money to waste and to spread around in
other countries to interfere in their governments and cause trouble and wage
wars for profit and to provide "federal block grants" as pay-offs to the state
and county government organizations that were supposed to be protecting us from
this criminality.
Corporate crooks took over the "federal government" which has
been operating as a foreign governmental services corporation since 1877 and
they used this as a backdoor means to plunder the good name and credit of the
American People via a process of semantic deceit, bribes, and kick backs.
And that is what we are dealing with now, a legacy of deceit, fraud, and
odious debt, which can only be dealt with via widespread awareness and public
action beginning at the county level and spreading to the state level to restore
our actual states and counties on the land and to restore the checks and
balances that were undermined by this system of bribes known as "federal block
grants".
