The Process by Which States Were Created

 By Anna Von Reitz

Here's how it used to be between 1787 to 1861 -- the native people agreed to forming a state with the American Government and everything was good, but then, The Northwest Ordinance kicked in, and the British Territorial "United States" Government came in "the interim" while the roads got put in and enough people (60,000) moved into the new "territory" to actually form a State of the Union.

How Michigan Became a State:
 
The British were brutal in Michigan just as they were during the British Raj in India. They came in and were looking for gold.  They are the ones that massacred the native people and set up the reservations and the culture-killing residential schools and all the rest of it.  Custer wasn't working under the direction of the American Government.  He was working for a British Territorial mercenary company calling itself "the United States of America" ----Incorporated.  

The British Service Vendors are the ones who made treaties about the Black Hills and then broke them and let the miners come in. 

We, the American Government, couldn't take over until all the conditions for statehood were completed.  By then, the damage had been done.  The Brits are also the ones who did all the propaganda and told all the Big Lies.  

Just like they do now. 

The point everyone needs to take is that these parties lie to both sides of every conflagration, demonizing one to the other, scaring everyone with their tall tales, and always trying to weasel their way in as middlemen, always using others as storefronts to do their dirty work. 

Listen to this short video clip and you will see what went on.  The native people made treaties with our government, but then they and the settlers moving into these new "territories" were stuck dealing with the British Territorial Government instead.  

This institutionalized Bait and Switch methodology existed because of "the King's Tribute Share" --- a treaty that allocated 10% of all gold mined in America to the King of England, a quid pro quo established and implemented by the Northwest Ordinance which also allowed the Brits to discover any gold in a new state while it was still a territory.  

This is why miners always swarmed the borders the moment a new territory was announced.  There was nothing keeping them from going out into the hinterlands and prospecting before that, but the mining companies lacked the king's "stamp" and protection prior to the territories being formed. 

So, the miners moved into the Black Hills with the U.S. Army mercenaries providing them protection because the king wanted the mining claims and his guaranteed share, which was 100% of whatever they found during the territorial period.  

They didn't honor the treaties the American Government made because they were a different government, and they didn't honor the treaties they made with the natives themselves, because they were sea treaties, not land treaties --- a technicality that was never disclosed.   

This same process was repeated monotonously in all the new states added from 1860 onward, and these new states formed during and after the Civil War remained in the condition of so-called "territorial statehood" because the actual Congress of the States Assembled wasn't in Session to enroll them as States of the Union.  

As a practical matter, this meant that the Queen or King of Britain claimed to own and control all these later "territorial states" and placed all the land they could grab under their own "land title" system--- without telling the actual Americans, of course. 

Now all this skullduggery has come to light.  

As of October 1st 2020, all fifty states stood formally enrolled as States of the Union by unanimous roll call vote of the State Assemblies and all these British trusts and land claims in America have to be dissolved.

Some states won their sovereign status by victory in war, some finished the process set forth by The Northwest Ordinance, and some others, mostly in the western United States, waited over a hundred years in a strange limbo land condition, waiting to be enrolled as States of the Union -- by which we mean our union of "free, sovereign, and independent" nation-states, not the British Union.  

Listen, learn, and observe that the native people always had to be included and consulted and that they have always held dual nationality in this country, being both members of their respective tribes and members of their birth states. 

A Ho-Chunka Winnebago born in Wisconsin is both a Winnebago and a Wisconsinite. 

So even during those long years while the post-Civil War states languished in a condition of territorial statehood, and the States of the Union were not in Session to enroll them, the land was never relinquished in those areas and never owned by the British Monarch.
