International Public Notice: Dangerous -- and Untrue -- Patriot Myths

 By Anna Von Reitz

From the beginning, our efforts have been fraught with misunderstandings, conjectures that are plausible, but ultimately incorrect, and outright lies spun to create confusion and division. 

One such obfuscation is the idea that "the original thirteen" colonies and later the Estates/States derived from them, had some special standing or material or ownership interest in the States that were formed later in our country's history. 

Any such ownership interest was short-lived, and pertained only to that period of time when, under the rules of the Northwest Ordinance, the incipient States were defined as territories and were temporarily under the control of the British Territorial Federal Subcontractor. 

Once sufficiently populated and defined, these "territorial states" were enrolled as full-fledged Union States under the Equal Footing Doctrine which allowed that all States enjoyed the same status and authority and benefit as all the other States in the Union.  

Remember now that when we say "Union" in this context, we are not talking about the Northern Confederacy that was involved in the so-called Civil War.  We are talking about the Union States formed from the patchwork of Counties which together control the soil jurisdiction of each State. 

This same misbegotten theory that the "original Thirteen" retained some special cachet or special status or ownership interest in the States that joined the Union in the years after The War of Independence, maintains that the "progeny" mentioned in the Preamble of the Federal Constitutions referred to the specific sons and daughters of the Founding Fathers. 

We now know that the Preamble was written by Americans acting in their capacity of Lawful Persons and State Citizens -- "People" -- and the only "progeny" that such People have, are not of flesh and blood, but instead are those brave souls who take up the torch and accept the responsibility and hard work involved in being a State Citizen.  

A somewhat related myth maintains that this country is only owned and only belongs to those who have served in the military in defense of our independence, and therefore, only the members of the Continental Army and Navy and their direct progeny have any ownership interest. 

While it is true that veterans of the Continental Army and Navy were given special recognition for their service, that recognition was limited to establishing their absolute and insofar as mortal life allows--eternal right to live here and own land and enjoy the freedoms they earned.  

At the same time, a similar blessing was conferred on their children and granted to all those who were born on our land and soil in all the years afterward, and even on those who, via a lawful process of immigration and naturalization, freely choose to adopt the nationality of one of our States. 

We will note that our American Government has always maintained the special status of Native Americans and their numerous nationalities and has readily agreed that they are and should forever be free of taxation of any kind. This is a recognition in its own right that they are Dual Nationals with a pre-existing right to be here and to be free from the financial burdens and conventions of our government. 

So, the "original Thirteen" and the Continental soldiers and sailors alike, did not seek any special or different consideration for themselves above any other State or person; instead, they opted for egalitarian and communal rights and principles throughout.  

A third pernicious theory is that because Bar Association members drafted and signed The Unanimous Declaration of Independence published July 4th 1776, and because Bar Members also participated in drafting and signing the Federal Constitutions, that their assumed conflict of interest voided the proceedings and invalidated the actions taken. 

Like any license or union membership, the members of a foreign professional guild may exercise that license or membership or not, depending on the circumstance and jurisdiction in which their action is taken. For example, a license to operate a motor vehicle does not affect one's ability to walk.  Being qualified to practice law in an Admiralty Court does not impact one's ability to practice Common Law.  

As none of the actions taken pursuant to the issuance of The Unanimous Declaration of Independence nor the Federal Constitutions, either, were addressed as the peculiar subject matter of the international jurisdiction of the sea, we may be sure that the men who drafted and bravely signed them were not acting as the King's Esquires, and were instead acting under the provisions of American Common Law to which they were equal heirs. 

The Unanimous Declaration of Independence and all three Federal Constitutions are executed under American Common Law, so no, the fact that some of the men signing them also had the facility to act as Bar Attorneys doesn't matter at all.  And never did. 

A fourth misconception arises from the idea that a Confederate State is the same as a Federation State is the same as a Union State is the same as a Territorial State. 

Each one of these forms of Statehood carries with it a jurisdiction and a responsibility and set of authorities not shared by any of the others. Our Founders were very familiar with abuses of power and took great pains to separate powers and counterbalance them.  

In recent days, people who have grown up in the British Territorial System have made the mistake of thinking that the Union States are the holders of all "power" and they are busy populating the County Assemblies before finishing the work of building the State Assemblies, because they expect to be able to crack the whip over the Federation States once the Union States are in order. 

Such assumptions about political power and empowerment are foreign to our country and our government. In our country, the powers of the soil jurisdiction-- though vast within the boundaries of each County--  are not designed to overwhelm or compete with the powers of the land.  The powers are separate.  

Anyone who has any difficulty understanding this needs to study Separation of Powers and take in the information we have already provided concerning the isolation of our Union States as a protection against foreign interference and intrigue. 

Yet another dangerous and untrue Patriot Myth is the idea that the "Act of 1871" which was repealed four years later, or the "Organic Act of 1871" were the crux of the problem we face in this country; on the one hand, a new Municipal Corporation was created, and that in itself was not prohibited; on the other, no "organic" act was possible for the British Territorial U.S. Congress, so that was fraud and null and void from the outset. 

The problem is that on February 2nd of 1871 the British Territorial U.S. Congress claimed the assets of our Federal Republic (doing business as "the United States") including its corporations and assets and most importantly, it's doing-business-as name and contracts, as abandoned property --- all without the nicety of providing Public Notice outside the District of Columbia in places where the American Public would be likely to respond.  

This failure to provide Due Notice and disclosure owed to their Employers was a self-interested act and was managed like a sleight of hand trick. 

Unfortunately for them, the actual owners have returned home as the rightful inheritors and in view of what we have suffered at the hands of our Subcontractors, we are not inclined to let them pull a Substitution Fraud and pass off their version of "a" Federal Republic as if it were our "restored" American Federal Republic.  

The actual problem -- beyond the total lack of Due Notice and Disclosure to the American Public -- with the  Organic Act of 1871, is that Great Britain had already lost its substantive standing and powers as of 1714, which meant that its Territories were similarly disempowered and reduced to the status of corporations.  

It now becomes clear exactly why the Great Overhaul of both English Common Law and British Admiralty Law under Lord Mansfield was necessitated in the mid-1700's. Without substantive standing on land or sea, only the air jurisdiction and Maritime commerce remained. So-called Equity Law was the law of the Creditors and their "courts" were transformed into glorified collection agencies.  

Although this was clearly known by the Founding Fathers and the situation in England prompted their actions as much or more than the long list of abuses detailed in The Unanimous Declaration of Independence, the portion of British debt that could be assessed against the former colonies was not discussed in public. 

This led to misunderstanding about which public and which debts were being referenced in the years immediately after the Revolution -- a confusion that has lingered into modern times.  

Our Tory neighbors inhabiting the British Territorial United States, most especially, Puerto Rico, were saddled with all their own debt left over from the cost of supporting Britain in The War of Independence and this was then supplemented by their portion of later British war debts until finally, the G-5 declared bankruptcy via treaty at the Geneva Conventions in May of 1930.  

The representative of the United States of America (Incorporated) at these negotiations was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was elected President of the British Territorial Crown Corporation doing business as the United States of America (Incorporated) in 1933.  

Thus, when FDR announced to the Conference of Governors that the United States of America (Incorporated) was bankrupt in early March of that same year, the Governors all knew exactly which public and which debt was being referenced --- and they answered by "pledging" the full support of their "citizenry" and "states". 

A pledge is a feudal act, a promise made to a king by a loyal subject; these Governors pledged the support of their "citizenry" -- meaning the U.S. Citizens under their command, and their "states" -- meaning the British Territorial States-of-States that had usurped the position of their American predecessors and the assets of the State Trusts that they created and commandeered. 

Nobody mentioned this to the Americans, and left to their own imaginations, many Patriots have assumed that they were the "citizens" being referenced and that their States of the Union were on the hook to pay off three centuries worth of British War Debt--- most of which was owed to the Pope by the Pope.

The trick was getting the dumbed down Americans to accept this debt as if it was legitimately their debt instead of debt owed by the British Monarch and the British Crown.  In the spring of 1933, the Internal Revenue Service was all organized and in place throughout the fifty States, purportedly to address all the U.S. Citizens working here and "residing" among us, but actually intending to entrap and fleece as many American "volunteers" as possible. 

Being able to discern the difference between "these" United States and "those" United States simply from context is no small feat; realizing that Americans are not naturally any form of United States citizenry is another leap forward toward understanding. And finally, realizing that the various Federal Constitutions are service contracts and not Sacred Cows, results in the proper orientation and skill set that American patriots need to reclaim their birthright status and enforce their constitutional guarantees.

We are now engaged in a great struggle to discern and employ the truth on our behalf, to sort through the cobwebs of history and the layers of self-interested deceit, and deal with the many red herring issues set like traps in our way.  

Neither the Municipal minions of Rome nor the officers of the British commercial "fleet" want us to succeed; it is much more convenient and profitable for them that we remain asleep or become endlessly entangled in divisive misapprehensions.  

And it is much better for us and for all mankind, if we sit up sputtering, like a man who has just been awakened by a bucket of ice cold water dumped over his head.
