International Public Notice: "Restoring the Federal Republic"

 By Anna Von Reitz

We are already engaged in restoring the American Federal Republic and other missing parts of our traditional and customary administration.  We don't need or want our British Territorial Subcontractors doing business as any version of "the United States of America, Incorporated" pretending to do it for us. 

If you think that Irishmen can build a Spanish Republic, think again. 

This is what the British Territorial U.S. Government is trying to foist off on us.  Another Substitution Fraud.  They are trying to substitute THEIR British Territorial version of "a" Federal Republic and replace our American Federal Republic without us knowing the difference.  But we do know the difference. 

The "States of America" was the doing-business-as-name of the original Confederation of States (1781-1861).  They got the contract known as The Constitution for the united States of America which was published in 1787 - the first of three such Constitutional Contracts that our States approved.   

Some people mistakenly think that the 1787 Constitution was replaced by the 1789 Constitution and that the 1789 Constitution was replaced by the 1790 Constitution, but that isn't what was going on at all.  Three separate Constitution Contracts were issued sequentially to three separate Federal Subcontractors: 

The Constitution for the united States of America (1787) issued to the original Confederation dba States of America. 

The Constitution of the United States of America (1789) issued to the British Territorial Government dba "the" United States of America, Inc. 

The Constitution of the United States (1790) issued to the Holy Roman Empire dba "the" United States (Company}.

Okay, with that as background, the Confederation doing business as the States of America proceeded to build up its new business enterprise, and to exercise the delegated powers, and provide the enumerated services.  

This new Federal Government was a consortium of three service providers under contract and it ultimately received its Powers from the States and their Federation of States.  The American Subcontractor was known popularly as the Federal Republic. 

Note that the 1824 Webster's Dictionary says that at the time, "federal" was a synonym for "contract", so Federal Government literally means Contract Government. 

This original American-based Federal Republic had State Republic Members; two different State Republic organizations were set up in each State.  For example, the Texas Republic addressed administration of delegated Powers impacting their land jurisdiction, while the Republic of Texas addressed administration of delegated Powers impacting their sea jurisdiction. 

The State Republics and State of Republics thus formed a local oversight to limit the Federal Subcontractor's exercise of the Enumerated Powers. 

This is the way it worked from 1787 to 1861, when the Confederation lost quorum to conduct business and ceased to function because the Southern Members of the Original Confederation walked out.  

The Southern Members of the Original Confederation regrouped as The Confederate States of America, while their Northern Counterparts started calling themselves "the Union" --- which confused people then and now.  

There was already a Union --- the first American Union created in 1776 composed of the soil jurisdiction nation-states, was already known as "the Union". 

This is another example of how the Brits deliberately and continually confuse their identity with ours by the use of similar names.  

The American Union was a union of soil jurisdiction nation-states, but the "Union" referred to during the so-called Civil War, was a consortium of Northern States-of-States organizations (the Northern Confederate States that had been members of the Original Confederation) and British Territorial Subcontractor forces.  

They attempted to substitute their "Union" for our Union and confuse these two different things in the minds of the people, just as they are attempting to confuse their "Federal Republic" with our "Federal Republic" now. 

Mr. Trump should be ashamed of himself and so should the Generals and Admirals who are trying to foist this "New Federal Republic" substitution fraud off onto the American people. 

It has to be brought home to them that we still know our history.  We knew the difference between their "Union" and our "Union".  We knew the difference between our American States-of-States organizations and their British Territorial States of States (the American States-of-States are styled like this: The State of New York, while the British version is styled like this: the State of New York.)

So, this well-financed and promoted idea of "restoring" the Federal Republic is not the first British Territorial Substitution Fraud Scheme these Bunko Artists have pulled off on the American People, but we are determined that it will be the last.  

The only way the American Federal Republic can be restored is by action of our American States, populated by our American People.  It cannot be done by British Territorial Subcontractors adopting the political status of U.S. Citizens.  U.S. Citizens are foreign with respect to our country and so are "citizens of the United States".  

So, we repeat: if you think Irishmen can build a Spanish Republic, think again. 

This is the kind of flagrant international fraud and continued attempted crimes of unlawful conversion and deceit that these rogue players are engaged in, and have been engaged in for over two hundred years.  

The pity is that they have succeeded so often, as they have played upon the mistaken assumptions of the populations they are preying upon. 

If Donald Trump and his minions are serious about restoring the American Federal Republic, they need to come home, declare their political status as natural born American nationals, and take up the actual work of reconstructing first the Confederation and then the American Federal Republic --- instead of acting as Subjects of the King and trying to replace our Federal Republic with a British Territorial version of a "Federal Republic". 

We have repeatedly advised President Trump what he needs to do to lawfully convert his status and office, to no avail.  We can only assume that he wants to act as the President of a corporation instead of acting as the President of a country.

For Those Who Can't Believe It

 By Anna Von Reitz

For the last two decades thousands of mini-earthquakes have occurred all around the Pacific Rim, the Schumann Resonance of the Earth has increased to unprecedented frequencies, under sea volcanoes that have been dormant for untold thousands of years have opened up along both the Mid-Atlantic and Pacific Ridges, a miles long fissure has opened up in the Rift Valley of Africa, and Northern Lights have extended down below the Equator.  The Jet Stream, once reliable and tame, has grown unpredictable and contorted, looping far north and then far south of its established flow.  

We have had weather modification and geoengineering "treaties" like the United Nations ENMOD Treaty in place since the 1970s, and some of us were actually present when the Department of Defense altered the Monsoon in Southeast Asia, as part of its program of disruption and terror related to the Vietnam "Conflict". 

Take a look at what China brags it can do, and what it apparently has done to us: 


Now, take in the news from North Carolina: 


Unnatural hurricane is forced deep inland bringing two times the annual flow over Niagara Falls down on Western North Carolina in only two hours, hitting the antique infrastructure of three dams on the North Fork River --- so the Floodgates were opened on the hapless people and towns downstream, and a wall of mud and water approximately forty feet high and moving nearly twenty miles an hour
roared through the valleys and hollows like a freight train. 

The people had no chance. 

China apparently did this with the cooperation of both the former Municipal Agencies and Officers of the British Territorial U.S. Congress who funded this disaster.  And then begged off, and offered the victims a whole $750, and said they were out of money because they spent it all on illegal migrants.  

In response we have tales of White Hat Military forces and Red Hat Irregulars joining together and now calling themselves "the Union". 
Pardon us, but have we heard this before?  

Why, yes, we have, that's exactly what the feckless Northern States-of-States and their British Territorial Allies called themselves during the so-called American Civil War---- and then proceeded to rape and pillage the same exact States of the Union where this disaster has occurred. 

History repeats itself, if you don't study it, and object to re-runs.

International Public Notice: Reality Test for Governments

 By Anna Von Reitz

Those who have been bothering to listen to Kamala Harris interviews and speeches have been fascinated to know the origin of her often-repeated saying, "What can be unburdened, by what has been." 

It's an unlearned translation from Karl Marx's German version. 

It's basically talking about erasing history and obliterating the past in order to build something new --- the Communist State, which will purportedly be better.   


She's on her Marxist Soap Box saying, unburden yourself from the past.  Don't learn history's lessons.  Just open the door to chaos and demagogues.  It will all sort out in the end, when enough blood has been spilled. 

So she is announcing the familiar liturgy of government overthrow and cyclic ruin imposed on the slumbering public by the elites, in this case, Communist Elites, like President Xi, who apparently sold out to the Brits.  

Governments have a known life cycle.  They arise, they thrive for a time, they become corrupt, the people rebel, everything devolves to chaos, new leaders arise ---- and a new government begins, with no guarantee that it will be any better than the old government. 

All governments and all populations worldwide would do well to observe what John Adams observed in 1761: the only valid reason for a government to exist is to protect the people and their assets. 

Say it again, the only valid reason for a government to exist is to protect the people and their assets. 

If your government doesn't do that, there is no reason to pay for its "services", because those services are not serving you. 

They are serving themselves.  Or they are, as in our case now, serving hidden foreign interests. 

The form of the government --- republican, democracy, theocracy, communist, even fascist --- matters less than the leadership and purpose of the government.  

If the people are safe and happy and secure in their homes, then that government is doing its job by them and it should have no cause to fear an insurrection or spend money constantly surveilling and tracking people.

Surveillance and fear of insurrection is like an oven timer beeping, saying that the government is done. It isn't doing its job and it's scared of the consequences. 

So what do we have all over America, and especially in the major cities?  Fear.  Ever-increasing surveillance tactics and technology. Degradation and demoralization of police forces. Rampant corruption, blackmail, and payola. Why? 

Because the nasty little bureaucrats aren't doing their job, aren't providing their services as stipulated under contract, and instead of protecting the people and their assets, these monkey-minds are busy stealing from the people they are supposed to protect.  

No wonder they are scared. 

The Breach of Trust by both the Holy Roman Empire and the British Territorial United States Government is so ripe, so disgusting, so obvious, that members of the British Territorial U.S. Congress have to hide, and the HRE, INC. is locked down, wondering when the anti-Christian pogroms begin because of them. 

It's not the brand name or the ideology.  It's the leadership and the purpose.  And at the end of the day, it's the result, the fruits of a government, that tell the tale. 

Are the people well and happy, free to live their lives?  Are they protected from evil?  Secure in their hearts and minds?

Then by whatever name, they enjoy good government. 

And if not, then they need to give their government a Pink Slip, and hire another one.  It really shouldn't be any more dramatic, destructive, or traumatic than that, yet, too many times it is --- and for one reason: bankers. 

The bureaucrats get in bed with the bankers and then, the bankers keep paying the bureaucrats the people's money, no matter how far off track the bureaucrats get or how bad the "service" is.  This leads to ever increasing corruption and flagrant abuse of power by the bureaucrats, until the people have to: (1) prosecute the bureaucrats and bankers as criminals, or (2) forcefully remove them. 

There is never any need for violent insurrection or revolution, so long as the People hold the purse strings and the Power of the Pink Slip ---and not just at the ballot box, but also administratively. 

We don't fight with our employees; we fire them.  We send them home. Not eligible for rehire. And we hold the bankers feet first to the fire, to make sure our hiring and firing decisions are honored.

The UNITED STATES, INC. has been fired and bankrupted for Cause.  Their former Agents and Agencies are not to be refunded or rehired by any Subcontractor of ours for any purpose whatsoever. 

The British Territorial Federal Subcontractors doing business as "the United States of America" --- Incorporated, purloined our silver and gold and deposited it with various central banks, leaving those banks with the false impression that these assets belonged to them or to professional Metals Depositors, like Severino Sta. Romano, who were employed to make these deposits for us.  The banks are being called out for this misapprehension and fraud, as many of them have cause to know better. 

We are the Funders, Employers, and Source, the preferential Priority Creditors, and our States and People are the Principals owed every jot of every Federal Constitution ever written.  It is now levied upon the banks to stop funding illegal wars being promoted in our names and to cease and desist the abuse of our assets, natural resources, and credit without our conscionable agreement. 

Notice to Agents is Notice to Principals; Notice to Principals is Notice to Agents.

High I.Q. Politician Totally Destroys Woke Immigration Policies

 By Anna Von Reitz

High I.Q. Politician Totally Destroyed Woke Immigration Policies


This little mini-documentary is about Polish President Dominik Tarczynski, the only leader in the EU with the brains to stand up for his own country and ask simple, obvious questions, like--- 

Under international law, if there is a refugee crisis, the refugees are required to go to the nearest country and ask for asylum.  

So, is Poland next to Syria or Iraq or Yemen or Lebanon?  No. 

Why isn't Saudi Arabia opening its borders to all these refugees? 
It's a rich Muslim country within close distance of the homelands of all these refugees, but not one finger is raised to help them.  

How about Qatar, or Kuwait?  Again, rich Muslim countries that could afford to build housing and pay for their fellow-Muslims in distress, and they are close by where all these people naturally live. 

Instead, European countries that have entirely different cultural and religious traditions are supposed to save millions of Muslim refugees? 

Why? 

What good are we doing for anyone, going about the problem like this?  

All we are doing is borrowing the trouble and spreading it out in a larger geographic area, and making it worse. 

It's great that Turkey and Egypt are welcoming them.  They are Muslims in a Muslim country that way.  Now, if the Saudis and some of the other oil-rich Muslim countries put their money where their mouths are and help support their own fellow-Muslims, it would be even better.  There are all sorts of Muslim countries in the Middle East and Africa.  Rich countries, lots of space for immigrants. 

Why not go there?  And why aren't these rich Muslim nations supporting the poor Muslim nations like Chad or Sudan, to take in these refugees?  

Angela Merkel was mad, crazy, a complete insane lunatic.  She didn't have the sense of a pigeon, yet, there she was, the leader of Germany, the most powerful industrialized nation in the EU.  This is what you get when you elect stupid people to important positions. 

Look at America with Joe Biden.  Politics has become a career for fools in the West.  Fools and crooks who aren't even smart about being crooked.  

How can a country hope to survive if its people are stupid and they vote for other stupid people out of sympathy for them?  

Hear all the Democratic Party candidates talk about how they failed at everything?   They couldn't run a grocery store?  They admit this, but they should run your country?  

Think about this for a moment..... 

They couldn't make it as a taxi cab driver, a locksmith, a school teacher, or a dancer?  But these people, these failures at everything, should make decisions about your country's economy and your future?  

Then you look around and you wake up and you say, "What's going on?" 

And the guy next to you says, "I don't know, but this is crazy stuff going on...." 

And you don't even know that it is because you have elected fools to run your country.  Literally, people with low I.Q.s.  People who can't read.  People who can't think with any logic. 

These same fools promise Mr. Zelensky billions of your dollars, then a huge catastrophic storm rips open the belly of your country,  thousands dead, more thousands without homes, with winter coming.  

Do they do the right thing?  Do they tell Mr. Zelensky, "We're sorry, but we can't send you all that money.  We have problems at home now."   

No, they try to make it a thing of honor.  They gave their word.  So you, who paid for those dollars, have to suffer, for what?  Their pride?  

More useless politicians were never born. 

And your useless media doesn't even report what's going on.  You have to go find out for yourselves, while your government doesn't try to help.  

There would be revolution in Poland.  Revolution would happen tomorrow

Nobody in Poland would put up with it.  Why do you?  Not a single Polish soldier would see his country abused, but your soldiers all stand there and do nothing?  

They care more for their paycheck and the orders of fools? 

What's wrong with you Americans?  Don't you have eyes in your heads?  Your country is being invaded, attacked from within.  Your elections are a joke.   

And Mrs. Harris, who pretends to be a black African, though her whole family comes from India ---- she's alright with reading a teleprompter.  No need for a thought in her head.  

Finally, some people in Michigan were rude to Mr. Obama.  They ran him off the stage.  They should have done that in 2008. 

All these "dumb Pollock jokes" make the rounds, but Poland is the safest and most productive country in the EU right now and all the Polish people in America still know how to think. 

They are on Youtube right now, teaching their neighbors how to can meat and preserve eggs for hard times that are coming to your country, because you are sending your money to Mr. Zelensky and letting fools represent you.... 

We can't add anything to that overall summation from the Polish point of view and even Ernest P. Worrell can see the sense in that.

International Public Notice: All United Nations Treaties Are Fraudulent

 By Anna Von Reitz

This is because the United Nations is an organization, like Great Britain, a company, not a country.  It has no sovereign identity and cannot engage as a true Principal as party to any Treaty or Contract. As a result, all so-called "United Nations" Treaties are, yes, indeed, fraudulent.  

Just like the Treaty of Manila Bay is fraudulent.  And the Treaties with the American Indian Tribes were fraudulent. 

None of the moving Parties who instituted these "treaties" had the standing to issue a real treaty --- each one of the sovereign countries have the right to make a treaty, but a country club with sovereign countries as members is not similarly endowed. 

So nobody is actually and factually bound by any United Nations "Treaty", and if the United Nations is going to be misused as a storefront for the endlessly corrupt and evil UN CORP, we would all be better off to simply disband the whole thing right now. 

Here we are reposting a Legal Memorandum from PreventGenocide.org  at https://preventgenocide2030.org/?
which we recognize and fundamentally support, but we go a bit further --- any treaty enacted in fraud, without standing, under any condition of non-disclosure or deceit --- is null and void. 

There is no need for The United States or any other actual country to get out of anything that never really was; no obligation is created by a fraudulent contract.  

Likewise, our Federation of States which stands in similar non-sovereign status and acts as an Agent and sometimes Signatory or Assign of our actual sovereign member-States, recognizes the limitations of the United Nations as it recognizes its own similar inability to form (on its authority) any valid land treaty. 

The upshot is simply this: the United Nations organization and its shadow-side, the UN CORP, lack standing to enter into any binding treaty with any sovereign State, because neither of these entities are sovereign themselves, and cannot borrow sovereignty from Confederate States-of-States, which are inchoate business entities. 

The only "member States" that Harry Truman could bring to the table were British Territorial States-of-States, so neither the United Nations (Organization) nor the United States (Corporation) that Truman was representing had any standing to sign an actual treaty. Instead, as with the Treaty of Manila Bay, they signed "treaties" in Bad Faith and the result was a "sea treaty" --- a fraud.  

We wish the member nations of the United Nations to know that this is the actual fact and that charters are not treaties and that our country is under no treaty obligation whatsoever due to the fraudulent misrepresentations surrounding the actions giving rise to this whole situation.  The United Nations is not a sovereign entity and the "States" being represented by Harry Truman weren't sovereign States, either. The inevitable result is that no actual treaty exists. 

Two additional crucial questions to ask are --- (1) Which "United States" was Truman representing and did he have authority to do so?
and (2) How could Truman deliver a ratification by "States" lacking the legal and lawful standing to ratify a treaty?

Truman was operating as the President of the British Territorial United States, not The United States.   He was representing British Territorial States of States, mere business organizations, not actual States with the power to ratify a treaty.  It's self-evident why no such ratification was ever posted in the Congressional Record nor deposited, as required, with the United Nations. 

These facts invalidate every vote "the United States" has participated in since 1946, invalidate its position on the Security Council, and invalidate its signatures on the United Nations Charter. Not only that, the United Nation's status as a non-sovereign entity doubly invalidates every other "treaty" it has formed with sovereign nations. 

The whole thing, first to last and including but not limited to anything Joe Biden signed with WHO, Incorporated, is null and void for lack of standing and fraudulent misrepresentation.  

We draw your attention to the fact that the "Participation Act" doesn't actually allow participation.  

The following very informative Memorandum of Law is posted by independent sources at: https://preventgenocide2030.org/un-treaties-are-fraudulent/  and we are reposting it for worldwide educational purposes.

Questions:

  • Is any participation and funding of the United Nations (and its subsidiary and/or associated organizations) legal?
  • Did the 1945 signing of the United Nations (UN) Charter and the US Senate vote authorizing the President’s signature create Treaty obligations binding on the United States? 
  • Was the UN Charter ratified as a Treaty by the US Senate or is it merely a contract between the United States and an international association?
  • Is the absence of the required deposit of the formal Instrument of Ratification evidence that the UN Charter was not lawfully ratified?
  • Are the UN Charter and related UN documents (such as the WHO Constitution) binding on State governments under the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution?
  • Are the UN Charter and related UN documents binding in any way on the United States?
  • What binding obligations does membership in the UN (and its subsidiary organizations) impose on the United States?
  • Was the manner in which then President Harry S. Truman presented the Charter to the US Senate unconstitutional as conceived in deceit, maintained in deceit and thus ultra vires, beyond the power of the President and Senate?
  • Are any signatories to the UN Charter bound, as if by a “Treaty”, to either the UN or its Member States?

Facts & Law: 

[A] At the end of World War Two the victorious powers negotiated the establishment of a successor to the League of Nations, to be called the “United Nations.”  The UN Conference in San Francisco, in the spring and early summer of 1945, following the defeat of Nazi Germany, adopted the Charter and it was opened for signatures. President Truman was present at the Conference when the US Secretary of State signed the Charter, June 26, 1945. [1]

[B] In Article 110 the Charter requires its ratification:

  1. The present Charter shall be ratified by the signatory states in accordance with their respective constitutional processes.
  2. The ratifications shall be deposited with the Government of the United States of America, which shall notify all the signatory states of each deposit as well as the Secretary-General of the Organization when he has been appointed.
  3. The present Charter shall come into force upon the deposit of ratifications by the Republic of China, France, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America, and by a majority of the other signatory states. A protocol of the ratifications deposited shall thereupon be drawn up by the Government of the United States of America which shall communicate copies thereof to all the signatory states. [2]

[C] Harry S. Truman, the President of the United States, and a former Senator, personally took the Charter to the US Senate asking for ‘advice and consent’ to join the United Nations.

[D] On July 28, 1945 the Senate held a Roll Call vote, as the Congressional Record shows [3]:

The Congressional Record states:

Two-thirds of the Senators present concurring therein, the resolution of ratification is agreed to, and the treaty is ratified.”

[E] The US State Department, as official Depository, has published a document showing the ratifications of the original members. This excerpt shows the initial US signing of the Charter by the Secretary of State in June of 1945 and the date in August of 1945 when President Truman signed the Charter while he was in Europe at the Potsdam Conference [4].

[F] While the National Archives shows a photo of President Truman signing the actual Charter on August 8, 1945. There is no record of a formal “Instrument of Ratification” on file with the Depository, as required by the Charter itself. [5] [6]

[G] The US Constitution provides, Article VI:

“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby”

[H] The Vienna Convention on Treaties (VCLT) defines Treaties as contracts between sovereign states.

” Article 1 – Scope of the present Convention

The present Convention applies to treaties between States.

Article 3 – International agreements not within the scope of the present Convention

The fact that the present Convention does not apply to international agreements concluded between States and other subjects of international law…” [7]

[I] Congress initially adopted the UN Participation Act in 1945 [8] after President Truman signed the Charter.  While the Act provides for an ambassador-rank US Representative appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate it does not authorize US participation in the United Nations.

Discussion:     The United States relationship with the UN is unconstitutional, conceived in deceit, maintained in deceit and is thus ultra vires.

Harry S. Truman assumed the office of President of the United States when President Roosevelt died on April 12, 1945.  Previously he had been Vice-President of the United States and President of the Senate, of which he had been a member prior to becoming Vice-President.

In an unprecedented act, Truman personally presented the United Nations Charter to the US Senate and spoke to the body in favor of participating in the UN. He stated, among other points:

I am appearing to ask for the ratification of the Charter… in accordance with the Constitution. …  For this is not a static treaty” [9] (Emphasis added)

Although the President pro tem of the Senate inaccurately characterized the Charter of the United Nations as a “treaty” the President of the United States specified it was not a “treaty.”

This inconsistency suggests that the Senate was misinformed regarding the nature of the document. This situation is further exposed by the US State Department’s official compendium of Treaties in Force [10] and its supplement [11] which do not list the UN Charter as a Treaty in force.

The Vienna Convention on Treaties is clear: international agreements, such as Charters, are not treaties.

Therefore, by the preponderance of relevant authorities, the Charter is not a treaty. Despite the incorrect use of the word “treaty” in the Congressional Record, UN decisions do not trigger the “Supreme Law of the Land” clause of the Constitution.  The UN Charter was conceived, presented and maintained by deceit.  Any action by the US Government in furtherance of participation is ultra vires and void as unconstitutional.

Thus, State (and local) governments are not bound to follow UN dictates, including those issued by such subsidiary UN bodies as the World Health Organization.

The Charter explicitly differentiates between ‘Treaties’ and ‘international agreements’, stipulating that any Treaty brought before the UN must be registered with the Secretariat.  The facts further show that no signatory to the UN Charter is bound, as if by a “Treaty”, to either the UN or its Member States. Nations which conclude the same international agreement do not enter into a Treaty among themselves by so doing.  Section 102 of the Charter, the only Article referencing Treaties, states:

  1. Every treaty and every international agreement entered into by any Member of the United Nations after the present Charter comes into force shall as soon as possible be registered with the Secretariat and published by it.
  2. No party to any such treaty or international agreement which has not been registered in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article may invoke that treaty or agreement before any organ of the United Nations. [12]

The deception continues even today, since the US State Department erroneously refers to the UN Charter as a “multilateral treaty”.

“The United States is depositary for over 200 multilateral treaties – including, for example, the Charter of the United Nations, The Statute of the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the North Atlantic Treaty. In its depositary capacity, the United States keeps the original treaty texts and facilitates their signature, as appropriate. The depositary also receives instruments relating to the treaties, such as instruments of ratification, and maintains status lists of such actions.” [13]

Note that all of the United Nations ‘treaties’ listed on the various State Department compilations noted above appear to be operational agreements for various international agencies, not Treaties governing relations among States.

International conventions and agreements to form international associations, private clubs among nations, are not Treaties under Article VI of the US Constitution and as such are not binding on the Nation or its several States.

With the very recent Decision by the United States Supreme Court, Loper et al. vs Department of Commerce, overturning the traditional ‘deference’ shown by Courts to the interpretations of law by Federal Agencies, there is no special credence that we must give to the State Department’s interpretation of US treaty obligations. [14]

Continued participation in the UN and its subsidiary organizations, commitment of resources or public funding of same, on the basis of our alleged “treaty” obligations to them, is an unlawful act and must be immediately terminated.
