The American People and Their Stolen Identity

Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty with which Christ has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:1

Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
2 Corinthians 7:13

Inasmuch as every government is an artificial person, an abstraction, and a creature of the mind only, a government can interface only with other artificial persons. The imaginary, having neither actuality nor substance, is foreclosed from creating and attaining parody with the tangible. The legal manifestations of this are that no government, as well as any law, agency, aspect, court, etc. can concern itself with anything other than corporate, artificial persons and the contracts between them. Penhallow vs. Doanes Administrators 3 U.S. 3 Dall. 54 (1795)

"The individual may stand upon his constitutional Rights as a citizen. He is entitled to carry on his private business in his own way. His power to contract is unlimited. He owes no such duty [to submit his books and papers for an examination] to the State, since he receives nothing therefrom, beyond the protection of his life and property. His Rights are such as existed by the law of the land [Common Law] long antecedent to the organization of the State, and can only be taken from him by due process of law, and in accordance with the Constitution. Among his Rights are a refusal to incriminate himself, and the immunity of himself and his property from arrest or seizure except under a warrant of the law. He owes nothing to the public so long as he does not trespass upon their Rights." On the other hand, the corporation is a creature of the State. It is presumed to be incorporated for the benefit of the public. It receives certain special privileges and franchises, and holds them subject to the laws of the State and the limitations of its charter. Its powers are limited by law. It can make no contract not authorized by its

charter. Its rights to act as a corporation are only preserved to it so long as it obeys the laws of its creation. Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43 at 74 (1906) For instance when a church signs a contract with the government to become a 501(c)(3) government regulated corporation . . . Does that 501(c)(3) church, now a government regulated corporation, have any God given unalienable Rights as stated in the Declaration of Independence, such as Freedom of Religion?

The Declaration of Independence contains these words. . .We hold these truths to be selfevident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights. . . . After the Civil War, (July 9, 1868) the United States government ratified the 14th Amendment, which in part states this: . . . All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States. . . Understand: to be a citizen of the United States. . . according to the 14th Amendment . . . #1 a person must be either born in the United States or, #2 naturalized in the United States and #3 subject to the jurisdiction of the United States.

In 1945, the Supreme Court determined that: The term "United States" may be used in any one of several senses. [1] It may be merely the name of a sovereign occupying the position analogous to that of other sovereigns in the family of nations. [2] It may designate the territory over which the sovereignty to the United States extends.

HOOVEN & ALLISON CO. v. EVATT, 324 U.S. 652 (1945)

No white person born within the limits of the United States and subject to their jurisdiction . owes his status of Citizenship to the recent amendments to the Federal Constitution. Van Valkenburg v. Brown, 43 Cal Sup Ct. 43

The 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, ratified in 1868, creates or at least for the first time, a citizenship of the United States, as distinct from that of the states. . . [i.e. a citizen distinct from a union state republic Citizen, i.e. a state Citizen] Blacks Law Dictionary, 6th Ed. Page 657

In the supposed state of Nature, all men are created equally bound by the Laws of Nature, or to speak more properly, the laws of the Creator. They are imprinted by the finger of God on the heart of man. Thou shall do no injury to thy neighbor, is the voice of nature and reason, and it is confirmed by written revelation. Samuel Adams, 1794, address to Massachusetts state legislature

To the contrary, the 14th Amendment,, states that . . . All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States . . . and no State shall make any law or abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. . .

"The persons declared to be citizens are, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof." The evident meaning of these last words is not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject..." Elk v. Wilkins, 112 US 94, 101, 102 (1884) "...the first eight amendments have uniformly been held not to be protected from state action by the privilege and immunities clause [of the 14th Amendment]." Hague v. CIO, 307 US 496, 520 "The privileges and immunities clause of the 14th Amendment protects very few rights because it neither incorporates the Bill of Rights nor protects all rights of individual citizens. (See Slaughter House cases, 83 US (16 Wall.) 36, 21 L. Ed. 394 (1873)). Instead this provision protects only those rights peculiar to being a citizen of the federal government; it does not protect those rights which relate to state citizenship." Jones v. Temmer, 839 F. Supp. 1226

"The right to trial by jury in civil cases, guaranteed by the Seventh Amendment...and the right to bear arms guaranteed by the Second Amendment...have been distinctly held not to be privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment ...and in effect the same decision was made in respect of the guarantee against prosecution, except by indictment of a grand jury, contained in the Fifth Amendment...and in respect of the right to be confronted with witnesses, contained in the Sixth Amendment... it was held that the indictment, made indispensable by the Fifth Amendment, and the trial by jury guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment, were no privileges and immunities of citizens of the United States, as those words were used in the fourteenth Amendment. We conclude, therefore, that the exemption from compulsory selfincrimination is not a privilege or immunity of National citizenship guaranteed by this

Person. ...Scope and delineation of this term is necessary for determining those to whom Fourteenth Amendment of Constitution affords protection since this Amendment expressly applies to 'persons'. Black's Law Dictionary, 6th Edition, "Person" Basic to the Laws of Nature and Natures God is an absolute fact that: the creature can

never be greater than its Creator. The creature has no authority to rule over his Creator.
What became of the emancipated slaves of the civil war era of the 1860s? In 1859 The creation of a civil or legal person out of a thing, the investure of a chattel [a slave, property] with toga civillis, may be an achievement of the imperial power, but it is beyond the compass of an American congress. Congress must first emancipate the slave, before it can endow him with the rights of a citizen under the constitution, or impose upon him the responsibilities of a legal person, or compel him to pay money, or part with liberty. United States v. Amy, 24 Fed.Cas.792, 794 #14,445 (1859) Introduction to Corporate Political Societies pg 10 The creation of a new kind of citizen, a national citizen, a PERSON for a national political society was the result of the civil war. Anyone, not just emancipated slaves, could join in the fun where all are equally subject to a superior political sovereign in this national system. In 1868 The 14th Amendment After emancipation, congress gave the slave a new civil law cloak (toga civillis) to cover up the fact that he was a man who ought to be free. Rather than a cloak, you could

also use the word mask, since the emancipated slave is viewed as an actor speaking for and exerting the rights of a civil or legal person (corporate character) created by congress. Next, congress endowed the person (civil or legal entity) with anew and inferior kind of citizenship under the Constitution. These persons and citizens are creations of congress, but the man is always a creation of God, the Creator. This is why congress needed to create fictional entities over which it acts as a superior or sovereign power using a civil law system designed for such persons. We should not forget that congress is a creation of the Constitution, which is a creation of the several states, which are creatures of the people, who are creations of God.

CIVIL LAW But the sphere of civil law, small at first, tends steadily to enlarge itself. The agents of legal change, Fictions, Equity, and Legislation, are brought in turn to bear on the primeval institutions *[of the natural order], and at every point of the progress, a greater number of personal rights and a larger amount of property are removed from the domestic forum to the cognizance of public tribunals.

Ancient Law, by Sir Henry Maine, page 139

A statute is an enactment by a legislative body bringing into existence its creatures (e.g. corporations) and setting forth the privileges, immunities, and responsibilities of each creation. A statute applies only to the "rightful subjects of legislation" (i.e the creatures created by statutory fiat). The phrase "rightful subjects of legislation" does not mean The People, unless the statute specifically states its intent to apply to private Citizens.

Of course one should remember that one can create an obligation to a law that would not otherwise bind him by involving himself in various regulated activities or by entering into an agreement with the government (such as acquiring a business license, resale permit, etc.)

Other Important Distinctions Classifications Every law that defines an offense falls into one of two categories. The first category is mala in se, and the second is mala prohibita. A mala in se offense is a crime that is, by the laws of nature and God, a true crime. Examples of this would be, murder, rape, robbery, fraud, etc. A mala prohibita offense is one that would not be an offense were it not for the legislature passing a law that makes a particular act a punishable offense. Examples of this would be, possessing or smoking marijuana, smoking regular cigarettes on a rest area off the interstate highway, catching the governors wife smoking a cigarette inside a government owned vehicle, buying and selling more than 7 cars a year without a dealer's license (in California), not obeying road signs and speed limits, and thousands upon thousands of rules, regulations, statutes designed to control corporate entities created by government legislation.
