None of the Post- Civil War Amendments apply to us.- Judge Anna

From Anna Von Reitz:

I've got news for everyone---- NONE of the Post-Civil War Amendments apply to us.  

I used to think (because they reconvened something calling itself The United States in Congress Assembled between April and December of 1865) that the 13th Amendment claiming to "abolish slavery" had been lawfully added to the actual Constitution as well as the "corporate" Constitution----- but I no longer think so. I think it was bogus throughout and that NONE of the "Amendments" from the 13th onward have EVER been properly enabled or ratified.  The 14th certainly wasn't and the 16th certainly wasn't and we have proof. 

You have to be aware that "citizenship" is related to public service of a body politic.  We are not acting as "citizens" when we are acting in our natural capacity as people. The two capacities are mutually exclusive.  "Sovereign Citizen" is an oxymoron --- impossible to be sovereign and citizen at the same time.  So while claiming one's Natural and Unalienable rights and Native sovereignty, we NOT acting as "citizens".  We are acting as one of the "free sovereign and independent people of the United States".  


I am too tired to go on at this time, but this is a topic that deserves a lot of discussion ---

How fraudulent contracts have brought American down.

Subject: Elkhart Sheriff Upholds Constitution

A few week ago Elkhart Sheriff Rogers appeared at a public meeting in South Bend, Indiana along with our Congresswoman Jackie Walorski and stated that he would not enforce any gun confiscation laws.  That statement brought forth a lot of negative comments in the People's Forum of the Elkhart Truth newspaper along would some very good articles by supporters of his position.  The absolute ignorance of many of the negative comments prompted me to write a letter to the People's Forum and it was printed June 16, 2013.
My article is printed below. Bill
    
Over the past month there have been a number of views express in the People's Forum both pro and con about Sheriff Rogers defending the US Constitution by refusing to enforce clearly unconstitutional gun laws.  I am really disturbed by the absolute ignorance displayed by the number of opinions that oppose Sheriff's position.
The biggest concern of our founding fathers was an all powerful federal government.  That's why the 2nd and 14th Amendments were added to the constitution.  They are there to protect the rights of the people. Today the federal government is becoming exactly what the founding fathers feared.
The 2nd amendment clearly states that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.  What part of the word infringed do these critics not understand.  Look up infringed in the dictionary.  Governments at all levels have passed laws infringing our rights concerning gun laws.  All of them clearly unconstitutional and would be so declared if it were not for a politiczed and corrupt court system at all levels. 
The 14th Amendment clearly states that "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States."  This amendment is also violated on a regular basis by our state governments.
We should all be thankful that we have a Sheriff that takes seriously his oath of office.  I wish those other elected officials we elect to office and courts would do the same.

The problem is that we can not have privileges and immunities at the same time as having rights.
Either we are 14th amendment citizens with privileges and immunities granted by government, OR we are sovereigns who wrote (ordained and established) the
constitution FOR GOVERNMENT TO FOLLOW, which guards our God Given RIGHTS (which are not privileges and immunities granted by government).
Of course the people who wrote against the sheriff don't get that, and probably most of the people who wrote for him don't get it either.
That is why the corrupt courts don't allow constitutional arguments on behalf of 14th amendment citizens. They have no standing, because they gave up their
rights in trade for privileges and immunities, although not voluntarily mostly. The courts argue that once you take part in their system you have volunteered.
But before God, that was all done with fraud, deception, threat, duress, coercion, and intimidation, therefore those so called "contracts" are all null and void,
and entirely without force and effect in God's eyes, and there will definitely be a war over that at some point.  These corrupt leftists, including judges, have their mind made up they will own the whole world, and if they can't own it, they will burn it to the ground.

Well said, my friend. 

Those privileges and immunities are also called "civil rights" which come from Roman civil law. The 14th amendment and the civil rights were created to give the blacks privileges and immunities after the civil war. They were not considered state citizens so they were made U.S. government property citizens.

All the fuss over the years about "equal" civil rights the we hear from government has been not to give the black rights equal to whites but rather to make the rights of the whites equal to those of the blacks; nothing more than privileges and immunities.

Clearly their so-called contracts are fraudulent. I now believe that they are only a portion of the problem; sort of a diversion if you will. They appear to be the problem but underlying them is, I believe, the real crux of the problem. Virtually every document people fill out and complete, to vote, to buy a gun, to buy insurance, to open a bank account, to get a job, etc etc asks a question; Are you a U.S. citizen? 

We voluntarily claim that status and that status is what puts people into their jurisdiction. We voluntarily claim it but it is because we define it geographically while they define it politically. The difference is tremendous and disastrous. 

I am of the opinion, based on my research, that everything goes back to that status; income taxes and all of it. The U.S. was always foreign to the states so claiming U.S. citizenship changes nationality to a foreign jurisdiction rather than the nationality of birth, ie the state of birth. The 14th amendment brought jurisdication of the federal government into the states because U.S. citizens are "subject to their jurisdiction" and are "their" or "its" people.

Neo:
You are correct in your conclusion about our volunteering, but it usually is unknowingly. They have deliberately hidden parts of every contract we "volunteer" into,
and that my friend is fraud, and makes the contract "unilateral".  At law, a unilateral contract is always null and void. Fraudulent contracts that attempt to hide
the provisions of the contract itself are always null and void. But added to that is the fact that most of these so called contracts are pushed on the people with some kind of deception, and usually threat of prosecution or confiscation, which is coercion and intimidation at it's worst.
That additional evil force is justification for almost any retaliation on the part of the people in their own defense, as it usually removes their very means to their own livelihood or their own life itself in some cases.  God is not mocked forever, and he keeps perfect records of every one of these evil actions against the people.
Like I said, at some point there is going to be a war over these issues. Many people now believe that all this was done unlawfully, even though there was the appearance of legislation, because it was done OUTSIDE the supreme law. One great example is the so called "income tax" or 16th amendment, which was never ratified. See http://www.paulstramer.net/2013/05/red-beckman-speaks-4.html
If, in fact it was never a law, how much does THAT one scream to high heaven for vengeance?
Then there is the big lie that Obama was eligible to be a president, and we haven't touched the 17th Amendment, the 14th Amendment (who actually voted for it) and the 13th Amendment.
There is a lot wrong with our country, and one of the worst problems is that many judges KNOW ALL THIS and perpetuate it day after day, and never are any of them ever brought to justice for their crimes. 
My fear is that sooner or later, before we can get a handle on all this, they are going to persecute someone who is not as level headed as you and I, and that person is going to erupt into horrible violence, which will be used by the left to start the martial law war against the people.
I hope and pray we can stop all this with education and a renewal of the principles in Dr. Edwin Vieira's book "The Sword and Sovereignty" before that happens.
But I am slowly losing the conviction that it can be stopped short of a complete and utter collapse, and extreme suffering.
God have Mercy on us.

I agree completely. If there was ever truly hope of changing things and resolving the issues peacefully, I suspect they are slipping away from us rapidly now. Back about 3 years ago my suspicions were that it would not be resolved without much bloodshed and loss of life. Like you I have tried to inform and educate all I could because I saw knowledge and truth as our last and best hope of curbing a violent outbreak.

There are too many instances of abusive behavior being exhibited by authorities around the country and, as you say, sooner or later there will one incident too many or in the wrong place at the wrong time. God help us when it comes unglued.

The Law That Never Was!


How Some States did not Legally Ratify the 16th Amendment


Bill Benson’s findings, published in “The Law That Never Was,” make a convincing case that the 16th amendment was not legally ratified and that Secretary of State Philander Knox was not merely in error, but committed fraud when he declared it ratified in February 1913. What follows is a summary of some of the major findings for many of the states, showing that their ratifications were not legal and should not have been counted.  
The 16th amendment had been sent out in 1909 to the state governors for ratification by the state legislatures after having been passed by Congress. There were 48 states at that time, and three-fourths, or 36, of them were required to give their approval in order for it to be ratified. The process took almost the whole term of the Taft administration, from 1909 to 1913.
Knox had received responses from 42 states when he declared the 16th amendment ratified on February 25, 1913, just a few days before leaving office to make way for the administration of Woodrow Wilson. Knox acknowledged that four of those states (Utah, Conn, R.I. and N.H.) had rejected it, and he counted 38 states as having approved it. We will now examine some of the key evidence Bill Benson found regarding the approval of the amendment in many of those states.

THE INCOME TAX -"THE LAW THAT NEVER WAS"

And  THE THREE 13TH AMENDMENTS

By Jon Christian Ryter
December 17, 2009
NewsWithViews.com

There are two amendments which appear in the US Constitution that were fraudulently declared ratified by then Secretary of State Philander P. Knox and US Solicitor General Joshua Reuben Clark. They are the 16th and 17th Amendments to the US Constitution. The JP Morgan-Rockefeller-Rothschild international banking cartel (which actually encompasses about 100 of the wealthiest families in the world) swapped New Jersey Gov. Thomas Woodrow Wilson the White House for their own private central bank. In doing so, they perpetuated the fraud on the people of the United States. To make a central bank viable, the bankers needed to be able to levy the incomes of the people of the United States. To do that, they needed Congress to enact a federal income tax. There was only one problem with that. Assessing an unapportioned tax (that unfairly and punitively targets one citizen over another) was specifically prohibited by the Constitution. The bankers needed a constitutional amendment to correct Article 1 § 8. The bankers had one other problem with this plan. Every attempt to create a permanent central bank or, for that matter, a new temporary one, met fierce resistance from the States and from State banks. To get a constitutional resolution through Congress, it would first be necessary to remove the States from the equation of governance at the federal level. The 17th Amendment did that.

Now before we go any farther, stop for a minute and ask yourself a question. But first, let's set the scene so when we frame the question, you have a true understanding of how our government was originally set up, and why it worked so well until 1913. The year is 1907. It had been 120 years since a confederation of sovereign States formed a nation. The States designated, through a Constitution, that a Chief Executive would be elected every four years who would represent them—the States—and their interests before the nations of the world. (Keep in mind, many times the interests of the States differ from those of the people who, separately, would be represented by the House of Representatives). The States, the People and the Executive would be co-equal and, jointly, those three bodies would rule the nation. That's what made the United States of America a Republic. Representing the interests of each State were two Senators, giving each State—regardless of its size—equal stature in the Senate chamber. Between the two bodies, the Senate is more powerful since Senators serve terms three times as long as the Representatives. Add this final picture to your thought processes. You are a governor, a State Senator or a State representative or assemblyman. You—not the people—have been electing your US Senators for 120 years. They work you, not the people. You elect the President of the United States, since he works for you. Not the people. Okay. You now have the picture.

WE CAN'T END THE INCOME TAX ONE PRISON SENTENCE AT A TIME

By: Devvy

Way back in 1991, I began to learn the truth about the privately owned Federal Reserve Banking system. My research led me to connect the dots between the disaster that struck America in 1913: The fraudulent ratification of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Amendments and the Federal Reserve Act. In order to syphon off the wealth of America, it was necessary to create two entities to get the job done: The so-called income tax amendment and the unconstitutional central bank. Lest the states should decide to rear up their heads over all this, the Seventeenth Amendment was fraudulently declared ratified and the states lost their right of representation in Congress.



Contrary to popular belief and propaganda by the ignorant in the controlled media and special interest groups, the federal income tax does not apply to domestic Americans. However, that fact of the law as its written doesn't seem to matter to judges, U.S. Attorneys and companies out there who thrive on "tax season." Pay up or go to jail.

Tommy Cryer is an attorney in Shreveport, Louisiana. He defied the system. Not because he doesn't want to "pay his fair share," but because he knows what the IR Code says and decided to take a stand for the truth. Even at great expense to himself -- like so many others over the decades. Tommy was indicted and went to trial. He was acquitted in July of 2007 and went on a mission. Truth Attack was born and the results have been nothing short of amazing.

The Law That Never Was ! Income Tax law NEVER RATIFIED?

Bill Benson's Case going to the Supreme Court of the United States after over 20 years. Your help is needed.

Do you think you will ever see this on Glenn Beck?
Background:  Bill Benson working with Montana's own Red Beckman, travelled to all 48 States involved in the ratification process of the 16th Amendment, (the income tax amendment) and collected from the archives of those state legislatures over 17 thousand (17,000) certified (notarized) documents proving once and for all that the 16th Amendment was never ratified. Bill and Red then published a large hardbound book called "The Law That Never Was" in which they outlined the process they followed to get that certified evidence, and some of the evidence itself.
Bill has spent over two decades trying to get that evidence in front of the American People. He is a true American Patriot and has sacrificed everything, including spending time in jail over these issues. See the story below from his Consitututional  Attorney Jeff Dickstein as related by Devvy Kidd.

BENSON GOES TO SUPREME COURT FOR ALL OF US

"Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties, or his possessions." -- James Madison, essay in the National Gazette, March 27, 1792

Over the years, I have written about many court battles. Bill Benson's has been going on for many years and now is headed to the U.S. Supreme Court. For those not familiar with his case, it is about the First Amendment. It is about YOUR First Amendment rights. This is one of the most important First Amendment cases to go to the U.S. Supreme Court in the last 100 years. The government's arguments in this case have been so frivolous as to border on absurd. The lower courts have deliberately ignored the main issues because they don't wan to deal with this and that is why it now must go before the "high" court:

"In this historic 16th Amendment litigation, the Government has sued Bill Benson seeking an injunction prohibiting him from falsely telling people the Sixteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was not ratified and therefore people are not required to file an income tax return. The Government contends it is entitled to an injunction because Benson is promoting an abusive tax shelter, conduct made subject to a penalty per 26 U.S.C. Section 6700."

This case isn't about tax evasion or "paying your fair share." Benson has never promoted any form of abusive tax shelters. It is about the First Amendment. It is about oppressive government deciding they can change the language of the First Amendment to suit their own totalitarian needs. It is about real men who have sacrificed their freedom (Bill Benson), good times and forget getting paid big legal fees (Becraft and Dickstein) the whole way to stand and fight for what is right. Now, we must fight with them with our support.
