ACT OF 1871
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice,
insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare,
and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish
this Constitution for the United States of America."
— Preamble of the original "organic" Constitution "We hold these truths to be self-evident.
That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that
to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from
the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive
of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new
government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such
form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
— Excerpted from the Declaration of Independence of the original thirteen united states of
America, July 4, 1776 ////////////
Fourth of July 2002 has come and gone, and Americans honored the holiday with a renewed
patriotic fervor that reminded me of the Bicentennial celebrations of 1976. As is customary, traditional
fireworks displays took center stage and scores of people turned out to witness the dazzling
show in the summer sky. With mixed feelings, I sat with friends on a crowded Pennsylvania
sidewalk beneath a glittering, mesmerizing explosion of color, pondering the keen sense
of sadness and betrayal that overwhelmed my spirit. Looking around at the huge crowds
gathered for the annual events, I thought silently, "We are not free." In truth, we
have not been a free people for a very long time.
We celebrate this day in honor of our "independence". We call ourselves a free people in a land
of liberty. Our anthems proudly sing the praises of this nation, and we raise our voices, wave
our flags and join in song — but how many Americans realize they are not free? This
is a myth perpetuated by the powers-that-be in order to avoid any major civil unrest,
and to keep us all living under the thumb of a militaristic corporate Big Brother within
the illusions that have been created for us. The truth of the matter is this: what freedom
has not been stolen from us, we have surrendered willingly through our silence and ignorance.
As Americans, most of us have no idea how our freedoms are maintained — or lost. Apparently,
our ancestors didn't have a good grasp of this either. It is sad, but it is also very
true. Don't point to that beloved parchment, the
Constitution, as a symbol of your enduring freedom. It is representative of a form of
government which seemingly no longer exists in this country today. The Constitution has
been thrown out the window, the Republic shoved aside and replaced with a democracy. The thing
is; most people in this country remain unaware that this is so because they simply do not
know the truth — what lies beyond the myths. Your so-called government is not going to
tell you, either. To even begin to understand what has happened
to the Republic, we must look backward in time to the period following the Civil War.
We must go back to the year 1871, which was the beginning of the decline of the Republic.
When we examine what happened during that time in our history, we begin to piece together
this troubling, perplexing puzzle that is "America" — only then should we answer as
to whether we are indeed a "free" people or not.
So, let's roll backward into the past for a moment. It is time we learned what they
didn't teach us in school. It is far more interesting than what they DID tell us. I
think you'll stay awake for this lesson. The date is February 21, 1871 and the Forty-First
Congress is in session. I refer you to the "Acts of the Forty-First Congress," Section
34, Session III, chapters 61 and 62. On this date in the history of our nation, Congress
passed an Act titled: "An Act To Provide A Government for the District of Columbia."
This is also known as the "Act of 1871." What does this mean? Well, it means that Congress,
under no constitutional authority to do so, created a separate form of government for
the District of Columbia, which is a ten mile square parcel of land.
What??? How could they do that? Moreover, WHY would they do that? To explain, let's
look at the circumstances of those days. The Act of 1871 was passed at a vulnerable time
in America. Our nation was essentially bankrupt — weakened and financially depleted in the
aftermath of the Civil War. The Civil War itself was nothing more than a calculated
"front" for some pretty fancy footwork by corporate backroom players. It was a strategic
maneuver by European interests (the international bankers) who were intent upon gaining a stranglehold
on the neck (and the coffers) of America. The Congress realized our country was in dire
financial straits, so they cut a deal with the international bankers — (in those days,
the Rothschilds of London were dipping their fingers into everyone's pie) thereby incurring
a DEBT to said bankers. If we think about banks, we know they do not just lend us money
out of the goodness of their hearts. A bank will not do anything for you unless it is
entirely in their best interest to do so. There has to be some sort of collateral or
some string attached which puts you and me (the borrower) into a subservient position.
This was true back in 1871 as well. The conniving international bankers were not about to lend
our floundering nation any money without some serious stipulations. So, they devised a brilliant
way of getting their foot in the door of the United States (a prize they had coveted for
some time, but had been unable to grasp thanks to our Founding Fathers, who despised them
and held them in check), and thus, the Act of 1871 was passed.
In essence, this Act formed the corporation known as THE UNITED STATES. Note the capitalization,
because it is important. This corporation, owned by foreign interests, moved right in
and shoved the original "organic" version of the Constitution into a dusty corner. With
the "Act of 1871," our Constitution was defaced in the sense that the title was block-capitalized
and the word "for" was changed to the word "of" in the title. The original Constitution
drafted by the Founding Fathers, was written in this manner:
"The Constitution for the united states of America".
The altered version reads: "THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". It is the
corporate constitution. It is NOT the same document you might think it is. The corporate
thinking it is the same parchment that governs the Republic. It absolutely is not.
Capitalization — an insignificant change? Not when one is referring to the context of
a legal document, it isn't. Such minor alterations have had major impacts on each subsequent
generation born in this country. What the Congress did with the passage of the Act of
1871 was create an entirely new document, a constitution for the government of the District
of Columbia. The kind of government THEY created was a corporation. The new, altered Constitution
serves as the constitution of the corporation, and not that of America. Think about that
for a moment. Incidentally, this corporate constitution
does not benefit the Republic. It serves only to benefit the corporation. It does nothing
good for you or me — and it operates outside of the original Constitution. Instead of absolute
rights guaranteed under the "organic" Constitution, we now have "relative" rights or privileges.
One example of this is the Sovereign's right to travel, which has been transformed under
corporate government policy into a "privilege" which we must be licensed to engage in. This
operates outside of the original Constitution. So, Congress committed TREASON against the
People, who were considered Sovereign under the Declaration of Independence and the organic
Constitution. When we consider the word "Sovereign," we must think about what the word means.
According to Webster's Dictionary, "sovereign" is defined as: 1. chief or highest; supreme.
In other words, our government was created by and for "sovereigns" — the free citizens
who were deemed the highest authority. Only the People can be sovereign — remember that.
Government cannot be sovereign. We can also look to the Declaration of Independence, where
we read: "government is subject to the consent of the governed" — that's supposed to be
us, the sovereigns. Do you feel like a sovereign nowadays? I don't.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist or a constitutional historian to figure out that this is not what
is happening in our country today. Government in these times is NOT subject to the consent
of the governed. Rather, the governed are subject to the whim and greed of the corporation,
which has stretched its tentacles beyond the ten-mile-square parcel of land known as the
District of Columbia — encroaching into every state of the Republic. Mind you, the
corporation has NO jurisdiction outside of the District of Columbia. THEY just want you
to think it does. You see, you are presumed to know the law.
This is ironic because as a people, we are taught basically nothing about the law in
school. We are made to memorize obscure factoids and paragraphs here and there, such as the
Preamble, and they gloss over the Bill of Rights. But we are not told about the law.
Nor do our corporate government schools delve into the Constitution in any great depth.
did not incur. There are many, many things the People have not been told. How do you
or consent? Are we gonna keep going along with this??
When you hear some individuals say that the Constitution is null and void, think about
how our government has transformed over time from a municipal or service-oriented entity
to a corporate or profit-oriented entity. We are living under the myth that this is
lawful, but it is not. We are being ruled by a "de facto," or unlawful, form of government
— the corporate body of the death-mongers — The Controllers.
With the passage of the Act of 1871, a series of subtle and overt deceptions were set in
motion — all in conjunction and collusion with the Congress, who knowingly and deliberately
sold the People down the river. Did they tell you this in government school? I doubt it.
They were too busy drumming the fictional version of history into your brain — and
mine. By failing to disclose what THEY did to the American People, the people became
ignorant of what was happening. Over time, the Republic took it on the chin to the point
of a knockdown. With the surrender of their gold in 1933, the People essentially surrendered
their law. I don't suppose you were taught THAT in school either. That's because our
REAL history is hidden from us. This is the way Roman Civil Law works — and our form
of governance today is based upon Roman Civil Law and Admiralty/Maritime Law — better
known as the "Divine Right of Kings" and "Law of the Seas", respectively. This explains
a lot. Roman Civil Law was fully established in the original colonies even before our nation
began and is also known as private international law.
The government which was created for the District of Columbia via the Act of 1871 operates under
Private International Law, and not Common Law, which was the law of the Constitutional
Republic. This is very important to note since it impacts all Americans in concrete ways.
You must recognize that private international law is only applicable within the District
of Columbia and NOT in the other states of the Union. The various arms of the corporation
are known as "departments" such as the Judiciary, Justice and Treasury. You recognize those
names? Yes, you do! But they are not what you assume them to be. These "departments"
all belong to the corporation known as THE UNITED STATES. They do NOT belong to you and
me under the corporate constitution and its various amendments that operate outside of
the Constitutional Republic. I refer you to the UNITED STATES CODE (note
"corporate empire of the UNITED STATES," which operates under Roman Civil Law outside of
the Constitution. How do you like being ruled by a cheesy, *** corporation? You'll ask
your Congressperson about this, you say? HA!! Congress is fully aware of this deception.
You must be made aware that the members of Congress do NOT work for you and me. Rather,
they work for the Corporation known as THE UNITED STATES. Is this really any surprise
to you? This is why we can't get them to do anything on our behalf or to answer to us
— as in the case with the illegal income tax — among many other things. Contrary
to popular belief, they are NOT our civil servants. They do NOT work for us. They are
The great number of committees and sub-committees that the Congress has created all work together
like a multi-headed monster to oversee the various corporate "departments." And, you
should know that every single one of these that operates outside the District of Columbia
or authority in ANY state of the Republic beyond the District of Columbia. Let this
sink into your brain for a minute. Ask yourself, "Could this deception REALLY have occurred
without the full knowledge and complicity of the Congress?" Do you think it happened
by accident? You are deceiving yourself if you do. There are no accidents or coincidences.
Your legislators will not apprise you of this information. You are presumed to know the
law. THEY know you don't know the law, or your history for that matter, because this
information has not been taught to you. No concerted effort has been made to inform you.
As a Sovereign, you are entitled to full disclosure of the facts. As a slave, you are entitled
to nothing other than what the corporation decides to "give" you — at a price. Be wary
enough already? I said (above) that you are presumed to know
the law. Still, it matters not if you don't in the eyes of the corporation. Ignorance
of the law is not considered an excuse. It is your responsibility and your obligation
as an American to learn about the law and how it applies to you. THEY count on the fact
that most people are too uninterested or distracted or lazy to do so. The People have been mentally
conditioned to allow the alleged government to do their thinking for them. We need to
The UNITED STATES government is basically a corporate instrument of the international
bankers. This means YOU are owned by the corporation from birth to death. The corporate UNITED
STATES also holds ownership of all your assets, your property, and even your children. Does
this sound untrue? Think long and hard about all those bills you pay, all those various
taxes and fines and licenses you must pay for. Yes, they've got you by the pockets.
you know it's true. Don't believe any of this? Read up on the 14th Amendment. Check out how
"free" you really are. With the Act of 1871 and subsequent legislation
such as the purportedly ratified 14th Amendment, our once-great nation of Sovereigns has been
subverted from a Republic to a democracy. As is the case under Roman Civil Law, our
ignorance of the facts has led to our silence. Our silence has been construed as our consent
to become beneficiaries of a debt we did not incur. The Sovereign People have been deceived
continue to be slaves and servants of the corporation.
Treason was committed against the People in 1871 by the Congress. This could have been
corrected through the decades by some honest men (assuming there were some), but it was
not, mainly due to *** for money and power. Nothing new there. Are we to forgive and justify
infiltration of the so-called government. We will lose more unless we turn away from
a democracy that is the direct road to disaster — and restore our Constitutional Republic.
In an upcoming article, we'll take a closer look at the purportedly ratified 14th Amendment
and how we became "property" of the corporation and enslaved by our silence.
I am saddened to think about the brave men and women who were killed in all the wars
of ideals they believed to be true — not for the likes of a corporation. Do you believe
that any one of the individuals who have been killed as a result of war would have willingly
fought if they knew the full truth? Do you think one person would have laid down his
life for a corporation? I think not. If the People had known long ago to what extent their
trust had been betrayed, I wonder how long it would have taken for another Revolution.
What we need is a Revolution in THOUGHT. We change our thinking and we change our world.
Antiqua,Palatino,Times New Roman,Serif">Will we ever restore the Republic? That is a question
I cannot answer yet. I hope, and most of all — pray — that WE, the Sovereign People,
will work together in a spirit of cooperation to make it happen in this lifetime. I know
I will give it my best shot — come what may. Our children deserve their rightful legacy
ourselves weare free, and perpetuate the MYTH? Or, do we stand as One Sovereign People, and
take back what has been stolen from the house of our Republic?
