YOU ARE NOT A PARTY TO IT!

Enslaved by Consent

The United States Constitution. If you are one the 99% that are made up of the individual

"private people", you are NOT a party to the United States Constitution. I am going to present

to you here the proof in black ink on white paper that will backup and support everything I say

here. All the documented proof will be attached at the end for your reference as evidence.

First and foremost I am going to point out what is in my opinion the mother case of all cases.

This case was before the Declaration of Independence, and before all the founding documents

were written. This is a 1772 case and the cite quoted in this case was from George Mason. One

of the things the Supreme Court relies on when deciding constitutional issues is the writings by

the founders in order to determine the meaning of what their intent was when the court must

decide on the meaning of the constitution. When you discover who George Mason was you will

learn he was one of the founders who took part in the constitutional convention, but about two

weeks before the signing of the constitution he refused to sign it. His writings have been used

as a model for other founders, such as Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson used Mason's writings as a

model to write the Declaration of Independence. I believe this to be very important because of

who George Mason was, there is no Judge in any court that could dispute what George Mason

said in this case.

Robin v. Hardaway

"Now all acts of legislature apparently contrary to natural right and justice, are, in our laws,

and must be in the nature of things, considered as void. The laws of nature are the laws of God;

whose authority can be superseded by no power on earth. A legislature must not obstruct our

obedience to him from whose punishments they cannot protect us. All human constitutions which

contradict his laws, we are in conscience bound to disobey. Such have been the adjudications of

our courts of justice. And cited8 Co. 118. a. Bonham's case. Hob. 87;7 Co. 14. a. Calvin's

case."

Right there it says plain as day that acts of the legislature contrary to God's Law must be

considered as void! In other words, God's Law is the superior Law and trumps any man made

laws.

The next issue is we must determine exactly what is God's Law? Where do we get the source of

this Law that can be used to bind any court to have to accept as God's Law? That source comes

from the Bible. And by an act of Congress, they confirm that the Bible IS the Word of God.

PUBLIC LAW 97-280-OCT. 4, 1982, 96 STAT. 1211

Public Law 97-280

97th Congress

Joint Resolution

Authorizing and requesting the President to proclaim 1983 as the "Year of the Bible" .

Whereas the Bible, the Word of God, has made a unique contribution in shaping the United

States as a distinctive and blessed nation and people;

On February 3rd, 1983, President Ronald Regan signed Proclamation 5018 - Year of the Bible.

So now we have the 1772 Robin vs Hardaway case that clearly states God's Law is the superior

Law and any man made Law contrary to God's Law must be considered as void. Then we have

an act of Congress signed by Proclamation by President Ronald Regan, confirming that the Bible

is the Word of God, which is the source to find what all of God's Laws are.

The next thing I want you to think about is to go back when the founders signed the Declaration

of Independence. At that moment in time when the founders signed the Declaration of

Independence, and when the war with the British ended, did we have a government in place at

that moment in time? The answer is no, we did not. Did the King not FREE all his subjects thatwere here and make every single man and woman a free person? Yes he did. So at that moment

in time, man was free and became his own individual sovereign King. As a sovereign King over

yourself no other man has any authority to make any Law over you nor does he have any

authority to rule over you.

Think about that. Could you walk into Wal-Mart and make rules and laws over some stranger

employee working there, where they would become bound and subject to whatever rules and

laws you decided to make over them? Of course not. So by what authority does any man have

over another man to be able to do that? There is none! They have no authority!

When the founders got together and decided to form a government, and when they signed onto a

new constitution, did YOU ever sign onto that? Where is your contract that you made with them

and that you signed to become a party to their government? There is none. It does not exist!

Here is a case that proves you are not a party to the United States Constitution.

Padelford, Fay & Co. v. Mayor and Aldermen of City of Savannah, 1854


3/125

"*55 But, indeed, no private person has a right to complain, by suit in Court, on the ground of a

breach of the Constitution. The Constitution, it is true, is a compact, but he is not a party to it.

The States are the parties to it. And they may complain."

There it is right there in black and white. The court has clearly stated that you are a "private

person" and that no "private person" has a right to complain, by suit in Court on the ground of abreach of the Constitution, because YOU are NOT a party to it! The States are the parties to it,

and only they may complain!

You may be thinking now, yeah, but the Constitution says "We the People" so that means us and

that we are the ones that granted that to the government to be formed. You think? Well let's take

a look at what "the People" means.

Bouvier's Law Dictionary

People:

A nation in its collective and political capacity.

In neutrality laws, a government recognized by the United States.

When the term the people is made use of in constitutional law or discussions, it is often the case

that those only are intended who have a share in the government through being clothed with the

elective franchise.

So based on their legal definition of People, it means those who are intended who have a share inthe government through being clothed with the elective franchise. So who exactly would the

elective franchise be? It isn't YOU and it isn't ME! Not unless you are an elected official of that

franchise! What does franchise mean, anyway? Let's take a look.

Bouvier's Law Dictionary

Franchise:

"A special privilege conferred by government on individuals, and which does not belong to the

citizens of the country generally by common right."

Wow! So the federal government and the 50 states are all a part of a government franchise made

up of private individuals that become members and parties to it by becoming elected officials.

Looks like a mighty fine private club they have created for themselves, doesn't it?

No wonder all oaths come under CFR 22, Foreign Relations, where upon their oath to office they

relinquish their citizenship! They have agreed by their own consent to join the club and become

one of its members and abandon their current citizenship to do so!

Now let's take a closer look at that Preamble to the United States Constitution.


4/125

Preamble

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice,

insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, 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.

We the People of the United States,The People of What? The United States. What IS the United States? It is a foreign corporation

within a 10 square mile outside the jurisdiction of the territory that makes up the rest of the land

throughout America.

Next it says..... in Order to form a more perfect Union,

Form a Union between WHO? The delegates from the 13 colonies. They wanted to get together

and form their own Union. The United States, Inc., and by adding their colonies together asseparate sub-corporate States.

Next it says.... 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,

Establish, insure, provide, promote and secure...for OURSELVES... WHO is ourselves? Whythat can only be the delegates that got together to form themselves a more perfect Union between

themselves and they are the only ones that ever signed onto the contract known as the

Constitution.

Next it says... do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

WHO ordained and established that Constitution? THEY did. The delegates. They got togetherand decided to form a more perfect Union for themselves, between themselves, for THEIR

justice, tranquility, common defense, general welfare, securing THEIR blessings of Liberty to

THEMSELVES and THEIR Posterity.

In the words of the late George Carlin....it's a private club, folks....and YOU AIN'T IN IT!

Can you now see why judges threaten you with contempt if you bring up this constitution in theircourts again? It is because it does not apply to you because you are not a party to it! If you are

not a party to it then you cannot complain about it. And if they are telling you that you cannot

complain about it for a breach of it, then that means it can't apply to you either. And every single

law, code, statute, regulation, public policy, ect., ALL stems from the constitution. It ALL startedfrom that one document. So if you are not a party to the constitution, then you are not a party to

the STATE OF XXXXX, INC., because the corporate States were formed by the United States,

Inc., by having to be admitted into THEIR Union to become a sub-corp State of THEIR Union.And ALL laws, codes, statutes, regulations and public policies of the individual sub-corp States

do not apply to you because you are NOT a party to the Constitution of the United States, Inc.

5/125

It's ALL a private club that only elected officials of the mother ship corp. known as the UNITED

STATES, INC., and all the sub-corp. STATE OF XXXX, INC'S are parties to it!

Do you now see WHY they must always have YOUR CONSENT? You have to VOLUNTEER

yourself to become subject to it. And even when you volunteer yourself to become subject to it,

you still have no right to complain because merely volunteering to subject yourself to it does notmake you are party to it! It only enslaves you to it where you become chattel property of the their

corporate empire.

And what did they do to sneak around this little problem so as to trick and deceive you into

getting you to consent and volunteer? They created their own fictional legal person's where they

would have a separate legal person created for every man, woman and child, where they woulduse their same Christian Name and ADD their family Name to it and create an entirely separate

new Name comprised of a first, middle and last Name, which is a fiction created by the State that

the State birthed into existence by creating a legal document to create a legal title for that Name,

known as the Birth Certificate.

Meanwhile, you leave the free "private people" outside their private club who are not a party to

it, left to believe they ARE that fictional Name they created so they can freely CONSENT tobeing subject to all the laws, codes, statutes, regulations and public policies, all through their

own individual ignorance of not knowing who they are and what they have done to deceive and

trick them into freely consenting.

Isn't that what is required of Satan to own your soul? Doesn't Satan have to get your consent in

order to get your soul? Isn't the elite behind all this government creation Satan worshipers? They

all sold their souls to Satan so they can have their power and wealth over the masses. And theSatan worshipers have designed a scheme to trick and deceive you in order to get you to give

your consent to sell them your soul through consenting to become a member of their satanic club

by accepting to claim their Name they created for you through the birth certificate.

1599 Geneva Bible:

Revelation 13:17"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the markor the name of the beast or the

number of his name."

What does every man, woman and child need in order to buy or sell? They have to have a legalName that consists of a first and last Name. Man never had last Names. They had Christian

Names which was a first Name and could have a middle Name. There was no last Name. They

were known by first Names and being from the family of Name and/or from the Tribe of.

If you search through the Bible everyone only has a first Name. They are called by a first Name

and referred to by being from the family of xxxxx, or being from the Tribe of xxxxx, or being

from the family of xxxxx, from the Tribe of xxxxx. There are no last Names!

For many years some have felt the SS number was the mark, and some feel it will be the micro-

chip. But what is the one thing every man, woman and child has now that they must have just to


6/125

be able to buy or sell within their system they created? The fictional legal Name that was created

by a birth certificate. So could the Name actually be the mark? And what better deception to usethan a fictional Name created by the State that just happens to look the same as your given

Christian Name and adding your family Name to that in order to create the illusion that is your

Name when it is not? And because of our ignorance of not knowing what Names are and their

meanings, we have all been easily deceived into freely accepting and consenting to it all, wherewe have accepted and taken the mark!

So who exactly are we and where exactly do we get our rights?

1599 Geneva Bible

Genesis 26

In the Bible, book of Genesis 1:26-30, to wit:

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have

dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, andover all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and

female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and

replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over

the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the

face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you

it shall be for meat.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing thatcreepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and

it was so.

God made us in his image and in his likeness and he gave us dominion over this earth and all

things in and on this earth. These are your natural rights granted to you by your creator, which noother man on earth can take away from you, UNLESS, you freely consent and volunteer to give

up your God given rights to become a subject to another man's laws.

Do you consent? Do you freely volunteer?

We all have been consenting and volunteering because of ignorance!

1599 Geneva Bible

Hosea 4:6


7/125

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because thou hast refused knowledge, I will also

refuse thee that thou shalt be no Priest to me: and seeing thou hast forgotten the Law of thy God,

I will also forget thy children."

Well that certainly says a lot right there, doesn't it? We have all obviously forgotten who we are,

what are real rights are, where that authority comes from, and through ignorance from our lack ofknowledge, we have allowed ourselves to become deceived by freely volunteering and

consenting to be subject to all the laws, codes, statutes, regulations and public policies, that only

pertain to a private club of a few, that is made up of a mother corporation known as a seniorcorporation known as the United States, Inc, and all its sub-corporations of the 50 State of

XXXX, Inc's, none of which we are a party to. And those corporations are under the bigger

world corporations such as private banking cartels out of London, the Queen and the Vatican.

The most deceptive part of all this, is that the elite behind these corporate powers worship Satan

and represent evil, where in order for them to steal your souls and renounce your allegiance to

your creator, they must get you to freely volunteer yourself by consent to become a subject of

their evil empire! And we all have done this because of our own ignorance by allowing ourselvesto be dumbed down generation after generation. They have used their media sources to feed us

with. They have used their powers to enslave us and take our wealth away and force us intoworking longer hours, forcing our women to have to work just to make ends meet, and while at

the same time leaving us with no free time to learn anything and know the truth, where our most

common source of information fed to us comes from their controlled media outlets, such as

newspapers, television, radio, etc. We have been duped and we have taken their bait hook, lineand sinker.

Everything you ever acquire you are acquiring it all on behalf of the State where all property isbeing vested in the State where you have nothing.

Senate Doc #43, page 9, second paragraph in the right column.

"The ultimate ownership of all property is in the State; individual so-called "ownership" is only

by virtue of Government, i.e., law, amounting to mere user; and use must be in accordance with

law and subordinate to the necessities of the State."

Congressional Record - House - March 9, 1933

"The money will be worth 100 cents on the dollar, because it is backed by the credit of the

Nation.It will represent a mortgage on all the homes and other property of all the people in the

Nation.

The money so issued will not have one penny of gold coverage behind it. because it is really not

needed. We do not need gold to back ourinternalcurrency."

They are using INTERNAL currency. And everything you acquire is vested in the State andbecomes a mortgage on ALL property acquired. How can this be? How can they do that?


8/125

They do it through the legal Name created by the States with their creation of the birth

certificate.

They create a legal Name that the State holds the legal title to (birth certificate), and then they

issue you a certificate called Certificate of Live Birth. That certificate represents the legal Name

the State created. You then go out into the world and conduct all your business under the use ofthat legal Name the State created. You thought that was YOUR Name, but it is not. It is a

fictional Name that was created by the State, in which the State holds the legal title to it.

When you were born you were given what is known as a Christian Name. The Christian Name

consists only of a first Name and could include a middle Name. There is no last Name. What you

refer to as a last Name is the family Name that you were born of. The Name the State createddoes have a last Name. All corporate entities must have a last Name which you can find under

Delaware legislation.

The State takes the same Christian Name you were given at birth, then they take your same

family Name you were born of, and they put those Names together to create a new fictionalName that is the legal person.

For example a proper Christian Name would look like this:

John Doe, of the family Smith

The fictional Name the State created would look like this:

John Doe Smith or JOHN DOE SMITH

As you can see, they look close to the same, but they are in fact two complete separate and

different Names. One is the Name used by man and one is a fictious Name that pertains to a

fictional entity that the State created and is called the legal person.

Some people believe because the Name appears to be the same and because the mother signed

the birth certificate as Informant that this makes the parents a grantor to this Name and gives usthe rights to this Name where we could somehow go back and reclaim it. I do not agree with that

theory. The Names are not the same. They are two complete different and separate Names from

each other. And anyone can choose to take any Name they want even though others may alreadybe using that Name. Otherwise there could never be more than one John Smith. But there are

thousands of John Smith's out there. And even though you may be known as John Doe, of the

family Smith, that is not the same Name as John Doe Smith or JOHN DOE SMITH created by

the State. They are as different and separate from each other as is a green apple and a red appleare different from one another. They are both apples, but they are not the same apples.

As you go through life and use that legal Name the State has issued you a certificate of a Name

they created. Everything you acquire under that Name is being acquired on behalf of the State. Itis no different than say, where you form a corporation and you go acquire property under that

corporate Name. The property is vested in the corporation. You do not have any interest in that


9/125

property personally. But as an officer of that corporation you do have use and control of that

property. You hold the interest in the corporation through the legal document that makes up thecorporation.

The State holds legal title to that Name. So everything you acquire under that Name becomes

automatically vested in the State. Plus you are using their "internal currency" to acquireeverything with. You use their internal currency that is backed by nothing, and you acquire

everything under their Name that they created the State holds the legal title to. (birth certificate)

Since you are in possession of a certificate bearing that legal Name that the State issued to you,

you are just a beneficiary of everything pertaining to that Name. You have no other interest in

that Name other than being a gift recipient of the certificate issued by the State and all propertyacquired by you under that Name.

As a beneficiary and nothing more, you cannot be liable for anything that pertains to that Name.

It is the same with any other type of legal entity such as corporations, LLC's, etc. When acorporation or LLC is sued for something, it is the assets held by that entity that is subject to

being taken. You as just an officer or President of that entity are not personally liable unless yousign to be held personally liable. It is the same thing pertaining to the Name. That is a legal entity

created by the State and in which the State holds the legal title to. So any charges ever brought

against John Doe Smith is being brought against that fictional entity. They are not charges being

brought against YOU, John Doe, of the family Smith. So you cannot be personally liable foranything pertaining to the legal Name John Doe Smith, because you are not John Doe Smith and

you do not hold or own any interest in the fictional entity, John Doe Smith. You are known as

just John Doe, who was born of the family known as Smith. You are nothing more than just abeneficiary to that legal Name and as just a beneficiary you cannot be held liable for anything

that is brought against that Name.

So how are they getting away with holding you, the man, known as John Doe, who was born ofthe family Smith? They get away with it because of our own ignorance every time we make a

false claim by claiming we ARE John Doe Smith.

You walk into a court and what is the very first thing they do? They call out John Doe Smith.

Then John Doe, born of the family Smith, the real man, stands up and approaches the court and

says, here. The very next thing that happens is the Judge asks you, are YOU John Doe Smith?And then John Doe, who was born of the family Smith, the real man, says YES I AM! At that

point the man has just perjured himself in court making a false claim and self incriminated

himself in the process. And because you are a man and you are your own sovereign King over

yourself, only YOU can say who you are. The court has no authority to dispute your claim of youclaiming to be who you say you are. And they can't prove otherwise. So having no evidence to

prove otherwise, and no desire to anyway, and there being no one in the court to object to the

false claim you just made, the court merely accepts your claim of being John Doe Smith. Since

you made the claim to being John Doe Smith, the court can now hold you liable for the chargesthat were brought against John Doe Smith. Even though they know you are not John Doe Smith,


10/125

they have no authority to question your authority as a sovereign King over yourself, and they

have to accept your claim, even though it was a false claim!

Do you see now how we are our own worst enemy because of our own lack of knowledge?

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge because thou hast refused knowledge, I will alsorefuse thee that thou shalt be no Priest to me: and seeing thou hast forgotten the Law of thy God,

I will also forget thy children."

You walk into their temple of justice that you are not even a party to, and you freely volunteer

yourself by consenting to be John Doe Smith! You claimed a Name that is just a legal fiction that

was created and owned by the State in which the State holds the legal title to! Is that insane orwhat? Is it any wonder you are deemed incompetent and everyone needs a lawyer? Then the

lawyer can at least try to limit your damages by trying to at least get your costs down or sentence

reduced. Or in some cases might even get you off because of some technicality over their own

private internal laws or rules or procedures.

The same thing happens by claiming ownership of some piece of property you do not own, but

you think you own it because of ignorance. For one, your creator did not give you ownership ofanything. He gave you dominion. Dominion means use and control. You have the right to use

and control any property in your possession that you acquired without having taken it from

someone else that was already using it, but you have no right to own it. And since you acquired

possession of all property by acquiring it with the Name the State holds title to, you haveacquired it under the Name held by the State AND you used their internal currency to acquire it

with. So you can't possibly claim ownership of it! You create a controversy by doing so.

By you creating the controversy, which is by your claiming to own the property, and also

claiming to own it by claiming to be John Doe Smith, is it any wonder they want to lock you up

and/or fine you? Is it any wonder why they declared us all as enemy of the State? We are

constantly going into their private temples making all these false claims! It's insanity!

Wouldn't the smart thing to do whenever they try to serve you with anything or issue you

something that requires their Name to appear in their temple, to just privately send them a noticeof mistake so they can correct their records and resolve any issues they have between

themselves? Since you are NOT John Doe Smith why would you even go into their private

temples of justice? If that ain't you then you have no business going in there! That can only leadto getting yourself into trouble you don't need. You can't go in there and start arguing their own

internal club membership laws and rules when they don't even apply to you! So why even

bother? It doesn't pertain to you! That ain't you! If property is the issue, that property ain't yours!

It isn't in your Name. It is in their Name! You are only a beneficiary who is exercising his rightsgranted to you by your creator which clearly states you have dominion over it! So why should

you care whatever their internal disputes and issues are pertaining to a Name that is a fictional

entity that they hold the legal title to? Send the court a private communication to notify them of

their mistake. They are trying to serve their papers on you the man. It is a mistake!


11/125

Hasn't their own court already establish the fact that their man made laws that contradict with

God's Laws, they are to consider their own man made Laws as being void? Sure they did! Let'slook again.

Robin v. Hardaway

"Now all acts of legislature apparently contrary to natural right and justice, are, in our laws,

and must be in the nature of things, considered as void. The laws of nature are the laws of God;

whose authority can be superseded by no power on earth. A legislature must not obstruct our

obedience to him from whose punishments they cannot protect us. All human constitutions which

contradict his laws, we are in conscience bound to disobey. Such have been the adjudications of

our courts of justice. And cited8 Co. 118. a. Bonham's case. Hob. 87;7 Co. 14. a. Calvin's

case."

Yep! That is exactly what it says!

And haven't they declared the source of God's Law the Bible when Congress declared the Bible

as the Word of God? Let's look again real quick.

PUBLIC LAW 97-280-OCT. 4, 1982, 96 STAT. 1211

Public Law 97-280

97th Congress

Joint Resolution

Authorizing and requesting the President to proclaim 1983 as the "Year of the Bible" .

Whereas the Bible, the Word of God, has made a unique contribution in shaping the United

States as a distinctive and blessed nation and people;

On February 3rd, 1983, President Ronald Regan signed Proclamation 5018 - Year of the Bible.

Yep! That is exactly what they said! Ok, so what does God's Law say as it is found and stated inthe Bible? Let's take a quick peek at that again.

In the Bible, book of Genesis 1:26-30, to wit:

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have

dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and

over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and

female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and

replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over

the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the

face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you

it shall be for meat.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that

creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and

it was so.

There it is right there! God made man in his image and gave man dominion over everything! Sothat appears to trump any of their man made laws, doesn't it?

And their own court has made it clear that we the "private person" is NOT a party to theConstitution, so if you are not a party to it and everything within their entire system today stems

from that Constitution, then that means none of that can apply to you since you are not a party to

it!

Padelford, Fay & Co. v. Mayor and Aldermen of City of Savannah, 1854

"*55 But, indeed, no private person has a right to complain, by suit in Court, on the ground of a

breach of the Constitution. The Constitution, it is true, is a compact, but he is not a party to it.

The States are the parties to it. And they may complain."

Is there any more proof or evidence one could ask for? It is all right here as plain as day!

This leaves you with only one option! And that option is you MUST freely consent to subject

yourself to become a party to it!

You are NOT a US citizen. So stop claiming you are! That legal Name is the US citizen, not

you! That legal Name was birthed and born WITHIN their jurisdiction, not you the man!

In order for YOU the living man to become a US citizen you must complete a three step process

first. This is confirmed by their court case, City of Minneapolis v. Reum, 1893

"The United States, in the exercise of their undoubted right, have prescribed the conditions uponcompliance with which an alien may become a citizen of this nation. The act of congress of April

14, 1802, (2 Stat. 153, c. 28, 1; Rev. St. 2165,) provides that an alien may be admitted tobecome a citizen of the United States in the following manner, and not otherwise. First. He shall,

two years at least prior to his admission, declare before a proper court his intention to become a

citizen of the United States, and to renounce*578 his allegiance to the potentate or sovereignty

of which he may be at the time a citizen or subject. Second. He shall, at the time of his

application to be admitted, declare, on oath, before some one of the courts above specified, that


13/125

he will support the constitution of the United States, and that he absolutely and entirely

renounces and abjures all allegiance and fidelity to every foreign prince, potentate, state, or

sovereignty; and particularly, by name, to the prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of which he

was before a citizen or subject, which proceedings shall be recorded by the clerk of the court.

Third. It shall be made to appear to the satisfaction of the court admitting such alien that he has

resided within the United States five years at least, and within the state or territory where suchcourt is at the time held one year at least, and that during that time he has behaved as a man of a

good moral character, attached to the principles of the constitution of the United States, and well

disposed to the good order and happiness of the same; but the oath of the applicant shall in no

case be allowed to prove his residence."

Have you ever declared, before a court your admission to become a United States citizen, andrenounce your allegiance and sovereignty to your creator? Have you admitted an application,

declared, on oath, before some one of the courts specified, that you will support the constitution

of the United States, and that you absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and

fidelity to your creator, that you were subject to at birth? Has it been made to appear to the court

that you have resided WITHIN the United States five years at least, and within their federal zoneStates or territory as a MAN of good moral character, attached to the principles of the

constitution of the United States?

Unless you, as a living man, have completed all of those steps you cannot be a US citizen!!!

And WHY would anyone want to give up their allegiance to their creator and all the God givenrights the creator has granted to you, just to become a member to a private club known as the

United States, Inc and its 50 State, Inc's just become their chattel property subjecting yourself to

over 6 million laws they have created on their internal books, and to a group of elite that worshipSatan?

You would have to give up your allegiance to God. And that is all that God wanted. If you became aUNITED STATES citizen you have to give up your allegiance to God. How can you be a US citizen and

a Christian at the same time? Its an impossibility in law.

1599 Geneva Bible:

Revelation 13:17"And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the markor the name of the beast or the

number of his name."

Are we selling our souls by accepting the Name and subjecting ourselves to their private systemthat is controlled by Satan worshipers? Could the Name they created be the mark of the beast?

Isn't the Name always in our head because that is the Name we know more than anything? Andwe use our hand to sign that Name with to sign the Name to everything? Isn't it true you can't do

anything without that Name? Would a bank let you open an account with just your ChristianName which is just your first and middle Name and without listing a last Name? Could you get

hired by a company doing the same by filling out an employment application to get a job? Could

you get a driver's license, social security card, passport, or any government issued form usingonly your Christian Name? I doubt it.

Proclamation 5018 - Year of the Bible, 1983February 3, 1983

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

Of the many influences that have shaped the United States of America into a distinctive Nation and people, none mbe said to be more fundamental and enduring than the Bible.

Deep religious beliefs stemming from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible inspired many of the early settlers

our country, providing them with the strength, character, convictions, and faith necessary to withstand great hardshand danger in this new and rugged land. These shared beliefs helped forge a sense of common purpose among the

widely dispersed colonies

a sense of community which laid the foundation for the spirit of nationhood that was todevelop in later decades.

The Bible and its teachings helped form the basis for the Founding Fathers' abiding belief in the inalienable rights o

the individual, rights which they found implicit in the Bible's teachings of the inherent worth and dignity of eachindividual. This same sense of man patterned the convictions of those who framed the English system of law

inherited by our own Nation, as well as the ideals set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution

For centuries the Bible's emphasis on compassion and love for our neighbor has inspired institutional and

governmental expressions of benevolent outreach such as private charity, the establishment of schools and hospital

and the abolition of slavery.

Many of our greatest national leaders-among them Presidents Washington, Jackson, Lincoln, and Wilsonhave

recognized the influence of the Bible On our country's development. The plainspoken Andrew Jackson referred to Bible as no less than "the rock on which our Republic rests." Today our beloved America and, indeed, the world, is

facing a decade of enormous challenge. As a people we may well be tested as we have seldom, if ever, been tested

before. We will need resources of spirit even more than resources of technology, education, and armaments. Therecould be no more fitting moment than now to reflect with gratitude, humility, and urgency upon the wisdom reveale

to us in the writing that Abraham Lincoln called "the best gift God has ever given to man ... But for it we could not

know right from wrong."

The Congress of the United States, in recognition of the unique contribution of the Bible in shaping the history and

character of this Nation, and so many of its citizens, has by Senate Joint Resolution 165 authorized and requested thPresident to designate the year 1983 as the "Year of the Bible."

Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, in recognition of the contributions a

influence of the Bible on our Republic and our people, do hereby proclaim 1983 the Year of the Bible in the UnitedStates. I encourage all citizens, each in his or her own way, to reexamine and rediscover its priceless and timeless

message.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this third day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundr

and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh.

HOSEA 3:2 890according to the loveof the Lord toward the childrenof Israel: yet they looked to other gods, and 210vedthe wine bottles.2 So IIbought her co me for fifteen pi ec es of

silver,and for an homer of barley, and an half homerof barley.

3 And I said unto her, TIlOUshalt abide wie hIme many days: thou shalt not play the harlot, andthou shalt be to none other man, and Iwill be sounro thee.

4 For the children ofIsrael shall lremain manydayswithout a king and without a,'prince, and withoutan offering, and without an image, and without anEphod, and without Teraphim.5 Afterward shall the children ofIsrael convert

and seek the LOI'dtheir God, and 'David their king,and shall fear the Lord and his goodness in the latterdays,

4 A co"'p!"i"( against the peop le ami the pr ie sts ofI"aei.1 Hear the word ofthe Lord, ye children of Israel:

for the Lord Ih:lEha controversy with the inhabitantsof the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy,norknowledge of God in the land.

2 Byswearing, and lying,and killing, and stealing,and whoring, they break Out, and 'blood rouchethblood.

3 Therefore shall die land mourn, and everyonedue dwelleth therein shall be em oH~with the beasrsof rhe field, and with rhe fowls of die heaven, andalso rhe fishes of the se-a shall be taken away.

4 Yet 'ler none rebuke, nor reprove another: forthy people are as they that rebuke the Priest.

5 Therefore shale thou fall in the Iday, and theProphet shall fall with thee in the night, and Iwilldestroy thy 2mother.6 Mypeople are destroyed ror lackof knowledge:

because Ithou hast refused knowledge, Iwill alsorefuse thee that thou shalt be no Priest to me: andseeing 2thotl hast forgotten the Law of thy God, Iwill also forget thy children.7 As they were 'increased, so they sinned against

me: therefore willIhange their glory into shame.S "Theyeat up die sins of my people, and lifr up

their minds in their iniquity.9 And there shall be like people like 'priest: forIwill visi t their ways upon them, and reward themtheir deeds.10 For they shall eat, and not have enough, they

shall' commit adultery,and shall not increase,becausethey have left off to take heed ro rhe Lord.11 'Whoredom, and wine, and new wine takeaway the ir heart.12 My 'people ask counsel at their stocks, and

their staff reacherh rhem: for rhe 2spirir of fornica-tions hath caused them to err, and they have gone awhoring from under their God.13 TIley sacrificeupon the tops of themountains,

and burn incense upon the hills under the oaks, andthe poplar tree, and the elm, because the shadowthereof is good: therefore yom- daughters shall be'harlots, and your spouses shall be whores.14 Iwill not 'visit your daughters when they are

harlots: nor your spouses, when they are whores:fur they themselves are separated with harlots, andsacrifice with whores: therefore (he people that dorhnot understand, shall tall.

356Slaves356k3k. Who Were Slaves.Most Cited Cases

The act of assembly of 1682, in relation to the sale of Indians as slaves, was repealed by the

act of 1705, and not by those of 1684 or 1691.

**1 These, were several actions of trespass, assault and battery, brought by the plaintiffsagainst persons who held them in slavery, to try their titles to freedoms. They were descendants

of Indian women brought into this country by traders, at several times, between the years 1682

and 1748, and by them sold as slaves under an act of Assembly made in 1682. The question

therefore was, when that act was repealed, and whether it ever was?

Mason, for the plaintiffs, first premised an historical state of the several acts of Assembly, which

had been made on the subject of Indians, with their causes and effect.

1662, c. 136. Purvis. 96. The first he took notice of was, an act made in the year 1662, entitled

acts concerning the Indians. Reciting that the discontents and fears of the English and Indiansproceeded, chiefly, from the wrongs done the Indians by the English, which brought on acts of

revenge, and, in the end, a general disturbance of the peace, and then enacting, among other

things, that the properties of the Indians should be confirmed to them, and their persons so

secured, that whoever should take by fraud or force their goods, or injure their persons, shouldmake such satisfaction and suffer such punishment, as if the wrong had been done to an

Englishman. And after many other provisions in their favor, it enacts, that what Englishman,

trader, or other, shall bring in any Indians as servants, and shall assign them over to any other,shall not sell them for slaves, nor for any other time than English of the like ages should serve by

act of Assembly; which by the 98th act of the same session, was till twenty-four years of age, if

under sixteen, and if more than sixteen, then five years and no longer. This law he considersfrom the nature of its provisions to be, what indeed it calls itself, a treaty of peace made by one
