WorldNetDaily: Documents reveal 'shadow government'

About 1,000 documents obtained in a Freedom of Information Act request to the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America show the White House is engaging in collaborative relations with Mexico and Canada outside the U.S. Constitution, says WND columnist and author Jerome Corsi.

There is a hyperlink to all of the documents in this article.

I know of a government gives forth light.

Would that be the same one that creates the shadow?

Without Prejudice.
Perhaps the one casting the shadow would be the one blocking out the light?

If you go back into the statutes at large you will find that congress has always been able to enact private law as well as public law and in addition each congressman wears two hats, one for governing the republics and one for governing the District of Columbia. The problem has always been to differentiate which is which, what applies and what does not apply. The problem is made more difficult because the 'lawmakers' are intentionally writing code intended to be misleading. Case in point

Found in Chapter 137 "Construction of Statutes", in The Revised Statutes of the Territory of Iowa of 1843 (otherwise known as the 'Old Blue Book' - the only law west of the Mississippi)

Quote:
Fourteen. The word "State' when applied to the different parts of the United States, shall be construed to extend to, and include the District of Columbia, and the several territories so called ; and the words "United States" shall be construed to include the said District and territories.

Where, and how was legislative power vested for Congress to govern the republics?

[palani]

My guess is they gave themselves that power with the 14th amendment, that and by right of conquest during the (un)civil war.

Check out the Expatriot Act - otherwise known as An Act concerning the Rights of American Citizens in foreign States.

the Expatriation Act of 1868

CHAP. CCXLIX – An Act concerning the Rights of American Citizens in foreign States.

Whereas the right of expatriation is a natural and inherent right of all people, indispensable to the enjoyment of the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; and whereas in the recognition of this principle, this government has freely received emigrants from all nations, and invested them with the rights of citizenship; and whereas it is claimed that such American citizens, with their descendents, are subjects of foreign states, owing allegiance to the governments thereof; and whereas it is necessary to the maintenance of public peace that this claim of foreign allegiance should be promptly and finally disavowed; Therefore,

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That any declaration, instruction, opinion, order, or decision of any officers of this government which denies, restricts, impairs, or questions the right of expatriation, is hereby declared inconsistent with the fundamental principles of this government.

Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That all naturalized citizens of the United States, while in foreign states, shall be entitled to, and shall receive from this government, the same protection of persons and property that is accorded to native-born citizens in like situations and circum-stances.

Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That whenever it shall be made known to the President that any citizen of the United States has been unjustly deprived of his liberty by or under the authority of any foreign government, it shall be the duty of the President forthwith to demand of that government the reasons for such imprisonment, and if it appears to be wrongful and in violation of the rights of American citizenship, the President shall forthwith demand the release of such citizen, and if the release so demanded is unreasonably delayed or refused, it shall be the duty of the President to use such means, not amounting to acts of war, as he may think necessary and proper to obtain or effectuate such release, and all the facts and proceedings relative thereto shall as soon as practicable be communicated by the President to Congress.

Approved, July 27, 1868.

If you go into the Congressional Globe http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/amlaw/lwcg.html starting around February 1868 you will find all kinds of petitions from Maine to Colorado in both the House and Senate where people were begging Congress to step in and get a Fenian Society member out of British jails. The end result is what is displayed above. However, it applies to foreign states such as Kansas, Oregon and Florida as well as Britain and Zimbabwee.

I guess you got to be worried about what you petition for. You just might get it.

Also note for the record that this condition is VOLUNTARY and by this act you can opt out any time that you would like to. The question is, mrg, if you know there is a problem, have you done what you have every right to do, namely expatriate?

Another point I should have made above: congress has every right to regulate their body politic; natural born citizens of the District of Columbia, 14th amendment U.S. citizens, Puerto Ricans, American Somoans, Iraquis (through conquest again), Virgin Islanders, etc.

If you have volunteered your way into the body politic somehow you have to figure a way to volunteer your way out again to get out from under the congressional thumb.
