Free American Inhabitants are not subject to the Federal
Government by virtue of their not claiming U.S. citizenship.
Those of us who have renounced our U.S. citizenship and declared
our status as American Inhabitants, using 15 Statutes at Large as
the legal foundation for this Declaration of Status, are the only
ones living in the united States of America. The rest of America
(U.S. citizens -- about 99%) are living in a 4th dimension, i.e.
in a fictitious corporation called the United States of America.
As far as America is concerned (except that 1%), there's nobody
home!
Slavery by Election
We can see that, in the 14th Amendment, those Southerners
who had participated in the Civil War were excluded from this
"benefit" (U.S. Citizenship) on purpose -- to punish them so
severely with sanctions, punishing fines and terrorism from the
newly formed Freeman's Bureau, that a few years later, the
Southerners would be grateful for any consideration the Federal
Government would extend to them. When the opportunity was ripe,
such a consideration was enacted -- the 15th Amendment. It reads
(in part):
Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to
vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or
by any State on account of race, color, or previous
condition of servitude.
By this gracious gesture, Congress extended full forgiveness
to the South, and restored their right to vote (at that time,
considered to be the most sacred right of an American). At the
next national election after the enactment of this amendment,
there was the largest turnout of voters this nation had ever
seen. The South wanted desperately to be restored to the Union
and heal their wounds. When they heard that, in order to vote,
they had to swear allegiance to the United States of America and
thus become a "citizen of the United States" (as required by the
14th Amendment), they did so willingly and without a clue as to
what they had just done to themselves and to their posterity.
With the stroke of a pen, the 14th Amendment, and the
subsequent 15th Amendment, had just enslaved an entire nation
without a shot being fired.
The "Forgotten" Clause
Obviously, this treacherous act by Congress was enough to
have all of them hanged as traitors; but, there was one more act
of treachery that has been overlooked by most people. Section 4
of the 14th Amendment reads:
The validity of the public debt of the United States,
authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of
pensions and bounties for services in suppressing
insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But
neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay
any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or
rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the
loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts,
obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
[emphasis added]
At that time, a hue and cry was raised concerning Lincoln's
promises to "forgive" the South's debts as part of
Reconstruction, with good reason. But mainly overlooked was the
first part of Section 4, which says that the debts incurred by
the U.S. government were not to be questioned, that the enforcers
whom the Government hired to quell insurrection (today, the CIA,
FBI, BATF, DEA, U.S. Marshals, etc.) would be paid by the
Government. And where was the Government's money to come from?
Answer: Its newly acquired subjects -- U.S. citizens. The
States had just signed into constitutional amendment the
permission for the Federal Government to hire thugs and thieves
to control us, to pay them with our own money, and that no
question could be brought to court about the constitutionality of
these actions. This is why any effort to bring a suit against
the Government about the Federal debt will never be entertained
by the Supreme Court!
A Dangerous Game
In Europe, Africa and other places in the world, a despot
simply took over a country by waging war. Here in America,
however, as long as Americans were armed and prepared for hostile
armed takeover, the Conspirators knew that a different technique
-- a grand deception by manipulation of the laws, the courts, the
schools, the media -- must be employed to obtain the same
results. They waged war on us long ago, but we've been too naive
to see it. There are many who are waking up now, but they don't
see the whole picture. They think that if they reverse a certain
portion of Government abuse, we can take our country back. Tax
protestors (as IRS calls them) have perfectly correct reasons to
point out that they are not required to file -- but they forget
they are still U.S. citizens (i.e. subjects). Home schoolers
fight bravely for their right to protect their children against
Government control -- but they forget they are still U.S.
citizens. Legal eagles have found many statutory "loopholes" to
win a few battles in court -- but they forget they are still U.S.
citizens.
Playing the "patriot game" without fully understanding the
constitutional hold the Federal, State and local governments have
over them is playing a dangerous game. They may win a few
skirmishes in their battles with Government (the Government
allows these "wins" to encourage us to continue wasting our
energies in useless effort), but they will never win the war, and
will only bring the wrath of Government down upon the head of yet
another one of its subjects.
For now, at least, the Government is respecting the status
of American Inhabitants. We (your publisher L. C. Lyon and
writer George Sibley) have not had any legal hassles from any
Government entity, because we are no longer U.S. citizens. We
are the same as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin
Franklin and all the other patriots were in their time -- free
American Inhabitants. Any U.S. citizen can give up this
enslaving status at any time, but it must be done properly.
If everyone in America were to take back their rights as
free Americans again, through the revocation process, the
Government would have no more subjects, and no more power!
IT'S TIME TO TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!
