As a Thing Is Bound -- Or, What Goes Around

by Anna Von Reitz

At 4 p.m. in the afternoon of January 18, 1930, in a house located at 1301 Sycamore Street, in Oak Park, Illinois, a baby has just been born.  His name is Michael Allen Cooper. He is the son of Marian Louise Cooper (nee Schoenbrauner) and Allen Robert Cooper.  The new Mother a  graduate of the Illinois Polytechnical College and is employed by the John B. Gorham Research Institute in Barrington, Illinois.  The Father is an Associate Partner in the investment firm Cooper, Sullivan and Brown in Oak Park.  The family, including an older son, Richard Randolph Cooper, moved to Oak Park from Cincinnati, Ohio, two years ago.

So reads the birth announcement in the local Oak Park newspaper.

It is understood by everyone reading this announcement that Michael Allen Cooper is the proper English name of a living baby boy.  This name consists of two parts--- the bicameral "given name" of Michael Allen, and the surname, Cooper, which was his Father's name before him.  It's understood that the given name was selected by his parents, and the surname was inherited from his Father's family.

It's understood that his parents are married from the fact that they have the same last name and the Mother's Maiden Name is provided in parenthesis.

"US Citizenship" ---- Why Won't You Believe That You Have Made a Wrong Assumption?

by Anna Von Reitz

I recently explained why the NLA Common Law Grand Juries don't work and can't work as the Fourth Branch of Government they claim to be---- and it is simply that the people operating these juries aren't classed as Americans.  They are still operating as "US citizens". They can't operate an American Common Law Grand Jury for the same reason that Englishmen can't operate an American Common Law Grand Jury. 

I gave everyone the actual Naturalization Act that addresses this issue: Seventh Congress, Session 1, Chapter 28, Sections 1- 4, passed April 14, 1802.  This is so straight forward, so cut-and-dried that a grade school kid can grasp what it says and what it means with no problem.

And yet, I still get people who want to argue with the facts.

Okay, here's another crystal clear, in-your-face, can't avoid what it says or what it means example from long after the Civil War:

*Only one way to become US citizen, make voluntary application, have oath accepted by competent authority and have this put in public records. *And Not Otherwise.*

Wake Up, Please, and Tell Me----- Are You A Puerto Rican?

Your birthright nationality is as an American State Citizen.  You are a Native of the state where you were born.  See Article IV, Section 2 of the Federal Constitution --- “State Citizen”. 

Also see Government Printing Office Manual  (2000) at Section 5.22 and 5.23, page 93
( https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/GPO-STYLEMANUAL-2008/pdf/GPO-STYLEMANUAL-2008-7.pdf ) --- “Natives of a State” and “State Nationals” [also sometimes called “Domestic Aliens” and “Non-resident Aliens” in Federal publications.]

Nationalities, etc.

5.22  The table on Demonyms (demon names) in Chapter 17 “Useful Tables”:

5.23  In designating the natives of the States the following forms will be used:

Alabamian Alaskan Arizonan Arkansan Californian Coloradan Connecticuter Delawarean Floridian Georgian Hawaiian Idahoan Illinoisian Indianian Iowan Kansan Kentuckian Louisianian Mainer Marylander Massachusettsan Michiganian Minnesotan Mississippian Missourian

Montanan Nebraskan Nevadan New Hampshirite New Jerseyan New Mexican New Yorker North Carolianian North Dakotan Ohioan Oklahoman Oregonian Pennsylvanian Rhode Islander South Carolinian South Dakotan Tennessean Texan Utahn Vermonter Virginian Washingtonian West Virginian Wisconsinite Wyomingite

You are a living, breathing American and that means you are a Minnesotan, a Vermonter, a Texan---- not a “US citizen”.  

So what is a "US citizen"?
