“Anyone may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible;
He is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the treasury.
There is not even a patriotic duty to increase one’s taxes.

Over and over again the Courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everyone does it, rich and poor alike and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands.”
~ U.S. Appellate Justice Learned Hand

When are We the People going to wake up and choose freedom? When will we decide to elect a representative government legislating what is best for all the people, instead of only an elite few?

How much longer will we work long and hard, then pay a huge share of our day-to-day productivity in taxes to a corrupt government that lies, robs, oppresses and abuses its own people? Can you even imagine a government without income taxes, without tyranny, and without threats to fund its necessarily limited operations?

Furthermore, we realize that it is for some reason taboo to talk about or question the origin and current legitimacy of the “income tax” and the authority of the Internal Re-Venue Service (IRS) as it applies to sovereign “state” Citizens. Thus, be aware, the following information may be hazardous to your preconceptions!

Cost of Government

According to the Cost of Government website in 2013 (now defunct), taxpaying “U.S. citizens” worked from January 1 – July 13, just to pay their “fair share” of various “taxes”. Compared to the size of the national economy, the cost of government makes up 53% of annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP). As if four seasons were not enough, there now exists a “tax season”.

Can you imagine giving yourself and your family an annual raise by de-taxing from the federal U.S. government corporation and its political subdivisions, the Internal Re-Venue Service (IRS) and the “tax-and-spend”politicians who are destroying this once great nation by continuously bankrupting us into economic slavery?

“…Those who wish to stake their claim to sovereignty, to make a personal record, under penalty of perjury under the laws of the united states of America, that they are not ‘taxpayers’ under the IRC and, as to property not emanating from an employment agreement within the U.S. government, declare that they are not ‘transferees’ under the IRC, thereby putting IRS employees on notice that no lawful authority exists to pursue [income taxes].” ~ Frank Kowalik, IRS Humbug

Duty and Moral Responsibility

American Nationals, sovereign “state” Citizens, U.S. citizens and private-sector employers have a duty and a moral obligation to not pay one dime of income taxes more than legally required.

If you understood how income tax money was spent, solely to pay interest on an un-payable national/federal debt, you might choose to simply refuse to pay “income tax” on the grounds of “social conscience” as many tax protestors have done in the past.

Settled law from a constitutional and historical perspective, if examined “Without Prejudice”, is solidly on the side of the American National or sovereign “state” Citizen with regards to the legality of the “income tax”, despite the perpetuation of this monumental fraud upon the people since its inception in 1913.

No Authority for a Direct Tax

In 1791, under the U.S. Constitution and “Common law” of the land, the federal U.S. government was forbidden to borrow money, or delegate the authority to create money, or impose a direct tax upon the Citizens of the states of the Union.

Prior to 1913, when the federal U.S. government needed money to finance a war or build a government project, it either had to sell U.S. Savings Bonds directly to the sovereign “state” Citizens, or get approval from the state legislatives to “apportion” a tax to raise the necessary funds. This kept the federal U.S. government accountable to both the people and the state legislatures which resulted in a balanced budget and fewer wars.

Today, with the advent of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB), the Internal Re-Venue Service (IRS), and the alleged ratifications of the 16th Amendment and 17th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, those original checks and balances were eliminated.

Upon closer examination you might discover, that even these constitutional amendments, legislative acts and court decisions did not lawfully expand federal authority to impose a direct tax.

Income Taxes are Unnecessary

Most of the income taxes we pay are unnecessary to sustain the basic, constitutional functions of the U.S. government. According to the Grace Commission Report on Government Waste (1984), not one dime of your income taxes pays for government services.

U.S. government services are primarily funded through federal excise taxes, imposed upon goods, services, manufacturing, and customs, etc. In fact, we could have quality government services and a balanced budget without an income tax, and without the usury and exploitation inherent in our current tax system.

We the People do not have to live in a socialist/communist government welfare state in order to be capable of providing for a wide range of necessary human needs while taking care of those who honestly cannot provide for themselves.

In the past, families either took care of their own, or private charitable trusts were established to take care of the elderly, orphans, the sick and indigent before the government welfare state existed. It is possible to organize society in a more self-reliant, less government-dependent fashion if only We the People have the will to do so.

Building the Capitol with a Lottery

When the “United States” was a fledgling nation, a country in formation, the first U.S. Capitol Building in Washington D.C. was built with money raised from a lottery, not from taxes.

“The original federal United States government had to build a whole new country
without the ability to tax its citizens.
They built roads, bridges, canals and schools funded to a great extent by lotteries.
In 1793, President George Washington built
Washington, D.C. by selling 50,000 tickets
at $7 each. The top prize
was a hotel worth $50,000.”

Federal / National Debt Proportional to Government Size

Throughout American history we can track the size of the federal U.S. government proportional to the amount of the national/federal debt. It is easy to see that the more debt was incurred, the larger the government became.

We can understand the inherent motivation for the U.S. Congress to approve the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and the resulting income tax. The more money the government could borrow, the more power and reach they had over the lives of their Citizens. Thus, politicians have had their fingers in larger and larger shares of the pie for more than one-hundred and ten (110) years.

The federal U.S. government was virtually debt-free with a balanced budget from 1789 to 1860. There was a proportional three-fold increase in the size of both outlays and the government, and five-fold increase in debt between 1861 and 1865 during the American Civil War years.

The outlays and debt stabilized after the American Civil War, and the national/federal debt was paid off between 1866 and 1915. There was a five-fold increase in size of both outlays and government, and a two-fold increase in debt between 1916 and 1920, the beginning of World War I.

As is evident, wars were great excuses for an increase in spending, but also an increase in the size of the government. Private and public banking interests were always increasing their profit-margins and expanding their power during wars. This trend continues unabated to the present.

After the undeclared federal U.S. bankruptcy of 1933, larger outlays and debt increased by unprecedented, exponential magnitude through the present day. As you now understand the larger the federal U.S. government, the larger the debt burden for its Citizens. If we wish to reduce the national/federal debt and balance the budget, even if it were possible in a fiat money system, we must shrink both the size and outlays of the government. Any other approach is wishful thinking and foolishness.

Curiously, the amount of federal aid to state governments decreased by 80% from 1970 to 1990. Federal spending on aid to the states increased from $286 billion in fiscal 2000 to an estimated $449 billion in fiscal 2007. This is the third largest item in the federal budget after Social Security and National Defense. The number of different aid programs for the states soared from 463 in 1990, to 653 in 2000, then to 814 by 2006.

The state governments have grown accustomed to funding from federal aid programs. However, by doing so, they limit their state sovereignty and independence. Every federal aid program comes with terms and conditions which the states must abide by to receive the funding.

When government services and federal benefits are cut on the congressional budget floor, both the Citizens and the states are left holding the bag of all federal debt obligations to the central banks.

There are sound money alternatives to continuing large, centralized, big government “borrow and spend” policies that will inevitably bankrupt We the People and bind us with the chains of economic slavery. We the People must liberate ourselves from economic and political tyranny and apply the necessary intelligence to transform the government at all levels.

08. Bankruptcy & American Law | Bankruptcy | Sovereign’s Handbook

January 17, 2025January 18, 2025 / Chief Visionary Officer & Founder / Leave a comment

By Johnny Liberty

Numerous federal U.S. bankruptcies are directly linked to profound shifts in the united states of America system of law. Without “substance (Ø) ” and without real “money ($)”, there can be no “Common law” actions, recourses or remedies.

MERGED COMMON LAW WITH EQUITY JURISDICTION

U.S. Bankruptcy Merged Law with Equity

When the federal United States government corporation borrowed from the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) in excess of their ability to pay in substantive, real “money ($)”, and the private international banks demanded to be paid in gold, the sovereign state republics and their respective “state” Citizens effectively lost their sovereignty because they no longer resided in a solvent sovereign nation such as the “United States”.

Under the political prompting of the Royal Institute for International Affairs (RIIA), the British Accreditation Registry (BAR), the American Bar Association (ABA), and other international organizations, the federal U.S. government corporation accommodated the bankruptcy dilemma by merging “Common Law” with “Equity” law in such a way as to not alarm the “U.S. citizens” of their newly acquired “subject” status under “United States” and international bankruptcy laws.

From that day forward, there could no longer be an authentic “Common law” court, or distinct jurisdictions (Law, Equity, Admiralty/Maritime) as authorized by the U.S. Constitution. Henceforth, all “law” would be under “color of law” or commercial in nature. All “law” would be practiced as legislative, “statutory”, or commercial proceedings under the rules and procedures of “Equity”law or “Admiralty/Maritime”, not the “Common law”.

As every BAR-licensed attorney knows, the rules of “Equity” law are quite different from the rules of “Common law”. Equity law compels performance upon the letter of a contract obligation, or in the interest of the principal-creditor in case of financial default, but “Equity” allows a jury trial for controversies exceeding $20.00 in real “money ($)” not “fiat (Ø)” paper currency. “Equity” also outlawed debtor’s prisons.

Furthermore, American Nationals, “state” Citizens, and U.S. citizens are held accountable to the U.S. bankruptcy because of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which we will address later in this book.

THREE DISTINCT JURISDICTIONS

U.S. Bankruptcy Tried in Admiralty Court

However, the proper jurisdiction for an international default on debt due to the U.S. bankruptcy in “Equity” law must be brought to trial in an “Admiralty/Maritime” court, which do not recognize any of the constitutional protections of the “Equity” law or “Common law” courts.

Unlike “Common law” and “Equity” jurisdictions, a jury in an “Admiralty/Maritime”court is purely advisory to the judge who may rule contrary to a jury verdict if the judge so decides “Admiralty/Maritime” courts can impose criminal penalties on those who fail to perform to the letter of the contract.

In a courtroom, you can easily recognize “Admiralty/Maritime” jurisdiction by the distinct gold-fringed flag. But the judge, the prosecutor and defense attorney will never admit the truth or fully disclose, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

08. Federal U.S. Government Corporation is Bankrupt | Bankruptcy | Sovereign’s Handbook

January 17, 2025January 18, 2025 / Chief Visionary Officer & Founder / Leave a comment

By Johnny Liberty

“Mister Speaker. We are here now in Chapter 11. Members of Congress are official trustees presiding over the greatest reorganization of any bankrupt entity in world history, the U.S. government.”
~ James Traficant, Jr. (D-Ohio) addressing the House on Wednesday, March 17, 1993, U.S. Congressional Record, Volume #33, page H1303

Shifting from Statesmen to Politicians

Since the passage of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the federal U.S. government corporation has continued to this day to borrow and spend without limit or accountability. Trillions of “dollars (Ø)” are missing and are unaccounted for by the General Accounting Office (GAO). Executive Departments and U.S. government agencies have embezzled funds and refused to track where the “money (Ø)” authorized by the U.S. Congress was spent.

Historically speaking, power hungry, money-crazed, “elected representatives” in the U.S. Congress, the supposed guardians of the constitutional Republic, took only 20 years (1913 – 1933) to bankrupt the federal U.S. government corporation the first time. Then they “sold out” the united states of America to its foreign principals-creditors. This was the day when statesmen/stateswomen, who loved this country more than their own self-interest, became corrupt politicians instead.

In 1933, the federal U.S. government corporation declared bankruptcy for the first time by Presidential Proclamation (PP) #2039, issued March 6, 1933, and Presidential Proclamation (PP) #2040, issued March 9, 1933, which temporarily suspended all banking transactions by member banks of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). Normal banking functions were resumed on March 13, 1933 subject thereafter to new restrictions.

These Presidential Proclamations (PPs) took effect after U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared a “National Emergency” pursuant to Executive Orders (EOs) # 6073, 6102, 6111, and 6260 (see Senate Report 93-549, pp. 187, 594; 5 USCA§903) under Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917, codified 12 USC 95a; HJR 192 of June 5, 1933; confirmed in Perry v. U.S. (1933), 294 U.S. 330-381 and 31 USC 5112, 5119.

THE FIRST OF MANY UNDECLARED U.S. BANKRUPTCIES

Foreclosure of U.S. Government Corporation

Without advance notice, the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) effectively foreclosed on the U.S. Department of the Treasury in 1933 and demanded gold ($) to satisfy the interest payment on the debt obligations incurred since 1913. On June 5, 1933, the U.S. Congress enacted House Joint Resolution (HJR) 192 to suspend the gold standard indefinitely.

“Whereas the holding or dealing in gold affects the public interest, and are therefore subject to proper regulation and restriction; and whereas the existing ‘national emergency’ has disclosed that provisions of obligations which purport to give the obligee (Federal Reserve Bank) a right to require payment in gold.”~ House Joint Resolution (HJR) 192

Suspension of Gold Standard and Confiscation

In 1933, the Department of the U.S. Treasury (U.S. Treasury Department today) was emptied of its gold, including all its gold in the legendary Fort Knox. The gold was immediately deposited in the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). Every state in the Union went bankrupt as well by pledging their good faith and credit (future productivity) to aid the federal U.S. government corporation.

The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) directed U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt to declare a “National Emergency” and prohibit the private ownership of gold ($) within the federal United States for U.S. citizens. U.S. citizens subjected to federal jurisdiction were ordered to deliver their gold immediately to the nearest Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) by Executive Order (EO). #6102

Although, by law, Executive Order (EO) #6102 applied only to U.S. citizens and federal government employees, other American National or sovereign “state” citizens complied (as they didn’t know any better) and handed over their real money ($) in exchange for a paper money substitute (Ø).

If you wonder why you do not have any real “money ($)”, it is because you are being robbed in broad daylight by the international “banksters” and the principals-creditors of the U.S. government corporation. Most people hardly even noticed back then until it was too late, and fewer still realize it is happening again today.

Incapable of Ever Paying Debt

Since House Joint Resolution (HJR) 192, the American people have not been capable of lawfully paying a debt. We can only exchange and transfer debt from one party to another which is what we do when we buy or sell real estate, products or services with Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs).

No debt personal or federal can ever be fully paid back. The federal/national debt and obligation to its creditors is perpetual, growing exponentially and lasting in perpetuity (until bankruptcy do us part and the federal U.S. government closes its doors forever).

“If we do not change our direction, we are likely to end up where we’re headed.” ~ Chinese Proverb

UN-PAYABLE DEBT

Profound Shift from Substantive Common Law

The indefinite suspension of the gold standard and prohibition against the payment of debts due to the fiat (fictitious) nature of the money supply, also altered the legal concept of “substance ($)” from the “Common law” jurisdiction. The profound impact of this is rarely considered. This shift from a “gold ($)” standard to a fiat “money (Ø)” supply shifted the very foundation of the entire American legal system.

Political, economic and legal systems are all interconnected and linked together. A shift in one, must then shift the context of the others with considerable effort and remarkably vast, stealthy, systemic coordination.

Under the “Common law” jurisdiction “money ($)”, for example, “gold ($)” or “silver ($)”, is lawful “substance ($)”or consideration, which was necessary for sealing a legal contract and transferring absolute “allodial” title to land. Each “Common law” contract was backed by lawful “substance (Ø)”which sealed any “Common law” contract with a minimum of $21.00 of silver, or lawful consideration.

After the first U.S. bankruptcy was declared in 1933, and the gold standard suspended indefinitely, this long standing foundation of “Common law” contracts was undermined and eventually replaced with
“statutory” contracts that were and are outside the bounds of the U.S. constitution.

Lawful “money ($)” was replaced with a National Public Credit System where debt money or Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs)(Ø) would be defined as “legal tender (Ø)” to “discharge (Ø)” debts instead of real “money ($)”, once again, “gold ($)” or “silver ($)”. By implication, “Common law” was also suspended along with the gold standard indefinitely, as there was no real “money ($)” left in circulation to execute any action in law. Thus, this first U.S. bankruptcy resulted in a coup d’etat of the political, economic and legal systems.

“Except in matters governed by the federal Constitution or by Acts of Congress,
the law to be applied in any case is the law of the state…there is no general federal Common law.”
~ Erie R.R. v. Thompkins, 304 US 64 (1938)

The idea of an “un-payable” debt, a “debt (Ø)” in perpetuity which can never be paid off, exists exclusively in the “Admiralty/Maritime”jurisdiction. This implies an international contract that compels specific performance.

The “principal/creditor” in the fashioning of this “federalized Common law” is the “Admiral”, a “Sovereign Power” enlarging their powers and jurisdiction over the constitutional Republic as a result of public policy declared in HJR 192. The limited liability for payment of perpetual debt falls under the “federal law merchant” and the law of Admiralty/Maritime because of the subject matter, and the nature of the cause of the action.

Thus, both the state and federal constitutions, and Common “law of the land”yielded to the “Admiralty/Maritime”, the “law of the sea”. The federal U.S. government corporation chose another “Sovereign Power” as their “Master”. Since that ill-fated day in 1933, the “Sovereign Power” has no longer been the people of the united states of America as was intended by the Founders.

The Admiral is King of the United States

The “Admiral”, and whoever or whatever entity they personify, is the new “King/Queen of the United States”. The national sovereignty of the “United States” has been effectively and invisibly transferred to the foreign principals/creditors of the federal U.S. government.

There have never been any constitutional provisions for this occurring. Nonetheless, this is exactly what has happened and is happening today. This is treason of the highest order, yet none of our leaders or “elected representatives” would dare to call it that (treason).

When the courageous U.S. Congressman Louis T. McFadden (R-PA) stood up to the mighty bankers and legislators in the 1930s, and brought impeachment charges against them, the indictments were buried in Committee and never came to the House floor for debate or consideration.

Later, McFadden was believed to have been poisoned for daring to tell the truth. Few of our “elected representatives” in Washington D.C. have dared tell the truth about the implications of the first U.S. bankruptcy of 1933.

In recent times, the outrageous, brave and courageous U.S. Congressman James Traficant, Jr. (D-Ohio) was indicted and imprisoned under false ethics charges for daring to address the U.S. Congress about the first U.S. bankruptcy in 1933, and numerous other bankruptcies since that fateful day.

The federal U.S. government corporation is perpetually “bankrupt (Ø)”. Our children will inherit this un-payable “debt (Ø)”, along with the tyranny to enforce it. Take an honest look around and tell me if this is not happening today.

CHALLENGE THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK UNDER ADMIRALTY JURISDICTION

International Banksters

Many people not only lost their “gold ($)” in 1933, but were then paid only Ø.59 on the U.S. Dollar in worthless paper currency (Ø) when it was exchanged at the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB).

The U.S. Supreme Court upheld FDR’s radical policies due to his persistent threats to reorganize the judicial branch despite the Roosevelt Administration’s obvious unconstitutional acts. Under the Emergency Powers Act and Executive Authority of the U.S. President, the U.S. Constitution and the Common law were swept away with the stroke of a presidential pen. The “money trust” of the international bankers were firmly in charge.

The Banking Act of 1935 established the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), booted out the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and U.S. Comptroller of the Currency, then decreed that all profits of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) would be retained exclusively by the bankers.

If you did not realize this beforehand, you now know that the federal U.S. government corporation has been “bankrupt(Ø)”, financially, legally, judicially and morally ever since that fateful day.

Instead of making a necessary course correction of this grave constitutional error by repealing or amending the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 or challenging its constitutionality under the “Admiralty/Maritime” jurisdiction, despite a few courageous efforts to do so by U.S. Congressmen Ron Paul, the U.S. Congress has cowardly continued to allow this pyramid scheme, grand theft and property confiscation to occur without question or challenge.

Property confiscation has been accomplished through many methods including via excise and income taxes, social security taxes, probate and inheritance taxes; plus, inflationary monetary policies, devaluation of the paper currency, seizures, forfeitures, condemnations, malicious prosecutions and millions of bankruptcy proceedings.

Today, like in times past, the U.S. Congress continues to borrow, spend and squeeze until the people of the united states of American cry “Uncle”. Then, there is talk about “tightening the federal budget”, “balancing the budget”or “taxing the rich”, but then they go ahead, borrowing more and more.

Twice a year, the U.S. Congress must raise the debt ceiling and get permission from the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) to do so. They must bow to their “Master”, the “Admiral”, to beg, borrow and spend more taxpayer “money (Ø)”. Every time they accomplish this, more land, property, real estate, assets, industrial capacity, and freedom are handed over to the foreign principals-creditors.

Both political parties, Republicans and Democrats, have perpetrated this travesty to this very day with little or no opposition.

LOSS OF NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY

The True Cost is National Sovereignty

The true cost of funding the federal U.S. government corporation shopping spree for the exclusive profits of the private international banking cartel, all at public expense, has ultimately been the loss of national sovereignty for the “United States”, our lawful sovereign “state” Citizenship, the integrity of our political, economic and judicial systems and the complete loss of the U.S. Constitution with the Bill of Rights.

“I have never seen more senators express discontent with their jobs…I think the major cause is that, deep down in our hearts, we have been accomplices in doing something terrible and unforgivable to this
wonderful country. Deep down in our heart, we know that we have given our children a legacy of bankruptcy. We have defrauded our country to get ourselves elected.” ~ John Danforth (R-MO)

As a principle of law, whenever the federal U.S. government, or any corporation or government, or any legal “person” declares bankruptcy, its sovereignty is effectively transferred to its principals-creditors who then determine how to distribute the assets.

By implication, the U.S. bankruptcy is nothing less than an abrogation of national sovereignty. As a “bankrupt (Ø)” entity, the federal U.S. government corporation no longer has any lawful authority to initiate civil or criminal actions. No “bankrupt(Ø)” entity can issue credit or make loans. All U.S. government loans, benefits and grants are frauds on their face.

Thus, after the first U.S. bankruptcy the constitutional court system was suspended along with the constitutional money system, and replaced with military tribunals operating under “Admiralty/Maritime” law. These proceedings are disguised as “statutory” law in courtrooms under the occupation of the “gold-fringe” military flag of the United States.

Consequently, the power and authority of the federal U.S. government corporation resides in the sovereignty of its principals-creditors, aka Central Authority, the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) and its principals-creditors the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB).

All courts, federal, state and county, are effectively convened in “bankruptcy proceedings (Ø)” against United States “persons” and “citizens of the United States”. These proceedings are suing via the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) in an “Admiralty/Maritime” jurisdiction.

07. Federal Reserve Banking System | Money | Sovereign’s Handbook

January 15, 2025January 20, 2025 / Chief Visionary Officer & Founder / Leave a comment

By Johnny Liberty

The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) was originally based on the Vatican’s Canon law, and the principles of sovereignty established by the Declaration of Independence and codified in the U.S. Constitution with the Bill of Rights.

Federal Reserve as Joint Stock Trust

In fact, the private international bankers used a “Canon Law Trust” as their model, adding private stock and renaming it as a Joint Stock Trust. Eric Madsen asserted that it was a type of corporation.

In 1873, the U.S. Congress had passed a law making it illegal for any legal “person”to create a Joint Stock Trust. The Federal Reserve was legislated post-facto to 1870, despite the fact that post-facto laws were strictly forbidden by the U.S. Constitution [1:9:3].

“This [Federal Reserve Act] establishes
the most gigantic trust on Earth.
When the President [Wilson] signs this bill
the invisible government of the Monetary Power will be legalized…
the worst legislative crime of the ages will be perpetrated by
this banking and currency bill.”
~ Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. (1913)

To this day, the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) remains a United States, European and Global Power structure separate and distinct from the federal U.S. government corporation operating entirely outside the bounds of the U.S. Constitution.

The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) is a maritime lender and insurance underwriter to the federal U.S. government corporation, that operates exclusively under international “Admiralty/Maritime” law.

The maritime lender or insurance underwriter bears all the risks, and Admiralty/Maritime law compels specific performance by paying the annual interest due, or insurance premiums.

All the assets of the debtor nation state, such as the federal U.S. government corporation, can be “hypothecated”, in other words, pledged as security to pay the federal /national debt by the maritime lender or insurance underwriter. Alarmingly, all the assets of the people of the united states have been “hypothecated” against both present and future “debt (Ø)” that is to be paid one day whenever the note is called.

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 stipulated that the interest on the federal/national debt was to be paid in gold not in “paper money substitutes (Ø)”. There was no stipulation in the Federal Reserve Act whatsoever for ever paying down the principle on the loan. Thus, an un-payable federal/national “debt (Ø)” was instituted from the inception of the Act. Indeed, this seems crazy, but it is true.

The Federal Reserve Act was never challenged in a U.S. court of competent jurisdiction which would be have been under “Admiralty/Maritime” law.

The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) is a sovereign Joint Stock Trust fully independent of the federal U.S. government. It does not file a tax return or pay any “taxes”. It is not subject to Title 5, USC or to the scrutiny of the General Accounting Office (GAO). It had never filed statements of assets on any information form until recently kudos to former U.S. Congressmen Ron Paul (R-TX).

“Federal Reserve bonds, including the
capital stock and surplus therein
and the income there-from,
shall be exempt from federal, state and
local taxation, except taxes upon real estate.”
~ 12 USC 531

Not Federal and Nothing in Reserve

The name of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB), in other words, the “FED”, is deceptive. There is nothing “federal” about the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) because it is not part of the federal U.S. government. In the Washington D.C. phone directories of yore, the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) was never listed under U.S. government offices.

There is nothing held on “reserve” in the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). They project the appearance of being a “system” of regional offices to shift the appearance of power away from Wall Street, but essentially the power is centralized in the Board of Governors. They are not a “bank” because they do not deal with real, constitutional “money ($)”, but only “fiat (Ø)” money.

The stated mission of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) was to stabilize banking, but if one analyzes their track record, it has not achieved the stated objectives. It was never the objective of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) in the first place. Instead it was a deceptive ploy to get the legislation passed and signed by the U.S. President with a minimum of resistance from the people.

The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) did, however, achieve the cessation of private capital formation in the hands of We the People by eliminating both the gold (1934) and silver (1968) standards for domestic currency, thus centralizing the power of capital formation in the hands of private international banking cartels.

“The main purpose for establishing
a central banking system in the United States
of America was to ultimately confiscate
100% of the property and assets
of the American people.”
~ Johnny Liberty

Passing the Federal Reserve Act

The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was passed over a Christmas vacation on December 22, 1913 with merely ten legislative members in session. This was hardly a legal quorum for passing legislation by any stretch of the imagination.

Most of the U.S. Congress was adjourned for the Christmas holidays. Furthermore, “U.S. citizens”, sovereign “state” Citizens, Congress and the President had been fooled by a well-orchestrated propaganda and media campaign into believing that the private international bankers and the Wall Street “money trust” were opposed to the legislation.

Through clever political manipulation, propaganda and a knee-jerk reaction by the press, many of our leaders walked into a well-designed trap to support the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 despite its lack of legal quorum. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson signed the Act under considerable pressure and later regretted his signing the Act by saying. “I am a most unhappy man, unwittingly I have ruined my country.”

“The [Federal Reserve Act] as it stands seems to me to open the way to a vast inflation of the currency…I do not like to think that any law can be passed that will make it possible to submerge the gold standard in a flood of irredeemable paper currency.” ~ Henry Cabot Lodge, Sr. (1913)

We the People Were Our Own Bankers

Before the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was passed into law, many people owned their own land free and clear of any bank liens, encumbrances or mortgages. We retained sovereign“allodial” title to property with all rights therein.

Conventional mortgages, where one could borrow money to pay for a piece of land or property over the course of thirty years, did not exist. This turned out to be yet another not so subtle property confiscation scheme.

Prior to the Act, one simply acquired land by assignment from a previous owner with a Bill of Sale, paid for in gold or silver coin or notes, then updated the “land patent“and received the true, lawful “allodial” title,which is absolute title and ownership to the land. Back then, land was not registered or recorded via an “equitable deed”.

> HYPOTHECATE – To pledge something as a security without taking possession of it.

After the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, all land and property within the federal U.S.was “hypothecated” to the Board of Governors as “Trustees” of the Federal Reserve Banking System cartel. In any Trust, the “Trustees” hold legal title, and have control over the assets of the third party or the “Beneficiaries”.

> RE-VENUE – To shift jurisdiction from one “venue” or place to another; to shift the jurisdiction from the Republic of the united states of America to the Democracy of the federal United States corporation.

Venue and Citizenship

All that remained to seal the deal was to “re-venue” all sovereign “state” Citizens, along with their land, assets and property, then pursuant to the “Common law” jurisdiction of the united states of America, into the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal U.S. government corporation pursuant to the “Municipal law” of the District of Columbia (D.C.).

Today, the common meaning of “re-venue” is synonymous with “income”. The private international bankers, with the cooperation of the political establishment in Washington D.C., shifted the jurisdiction from one “venue” or place (united states of America) to another (District of Columbia).

After the bankers morphed the meaning of “venue”, they shifted the meaning of “citizens of the United States” from sovereign “state” Citizenship to U.S. citizenship. It was a clever, well-orchestrated slight-of-hand – a magician’s trick.

After the bankers shifted the meaning of citizenship, they made all the people believe that they were subject to paying the federal/national debt of the federal U.S. corporation pursuant to the 14th Amendment of the U.S. constitution, from that day forward, made payable to the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) via the “income tax”.

U.S. Government Received Unlimited Credit Line

Under the terms of the Federal Reserve Act, the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) agreed to extend the federal U.S. government an “unlimited credit line” (paper money substitute (Ø)). The “United States” would be loaned all the funds needed by the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) to expand the power and reach of the federal “United States” empire indefinitely.

Like any other debtor borrowing money from a creditor, the federal U.S. government had to assign collateral and security to their creditors as a condition of the loan. So what did it do?

Since the federal U.S. government did not have any significant assets in 1913, except a small modicum of public property, the government “hypothecated” all the private land and property of their “economic slaves” (U.S. citizens), as collateral (security) against the perpetually, un-payable federal/national debt.

The federal U.S. government, along with their principals/creditors, needed a legal contractual nexus to lure more U.S. citizens and sovereign “state” Citizens into their venue under their jurisdiction, in order to expand the pool of land and property that they could hypothecate, attach and lien. So how did they accomplish this?

By manufacturing wars (WWI, WWII and WWIII), recessions and depressions such as the Great Depression, and then luring people into the Social Security Act of 1938. This not so subtle “conspiracy” created the “welfare state”, accomplished the objectives in less than three generations.

In addition to land and property, the federal U.S. government “hypothecated” and pledged the assets of unincorporated federal territories, national parks and forests (clear-cutting forests is a environmental policy for federal debt reduction), birth certificates (each baby child is registered as property under the U.S. Department of Commerce), as well as all for-profit and non-profit corporations (all equity is owned by the Internal Re-Venue Service), as collateral to the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB)x.

Lastly, but not finally, these “co-conspirators” legislated a 1% federal income tax on corporations and U.S. persons (U.S. citizens and federal U.S. employees) to pay the “interest-only” on this expanding federal/national “debt (Ø)”. In 1913, less than 1% of the people and corporations paid any federal income taxes. This original income tax was effectively repealed by the Internal Revenue Act of November 23, 1921.

“The regional Federal Reserve Banks
are not government agencies.
…but are independent, privately owned and
locally controlled corporations.”
~ Lewis v. United States, 680 F.2d 1239 (9th Cir. 1982)

The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) is a very private, foreign entity controlled by a cartel of private international bankers. The Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) can sue and be sued in their name, unlike actual government agencies. Each of the regional Federal Reserve Banks (FRB) carries its own liability insurance.

Each conducts its daily activities without any direction from the federal U.S. government. Each pays local property taxes and postage, which is even more evidence of private ownership. Each had listings in telephone directories, but never under U.S. government listings.

The actual “joint stock holders” of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) are held by domestic, foreign, and international central banks. According to archival sources, the following list does not reflect the actual ownership.

The Rothschild’s of London and Berlin.
The Lazard Brothers of Paris.
Israel Moses Seif of Italy.
Warburg Bank of Hamburg, Germany and Amsterdam.
Kuhn, Loeb and Co. of Germany and New York.
Lehman Brothers of New York.
Goldman Sachs of New York.
Chase Manhattan Bank of New York
The Rockefeller Brothers of New York.

Formal Charges Against Federal Reserve

On May 23, 1933, U.S. Congressman, Louis T. McFadden, brought formal charges against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB), the U.S. Comptroller of the Currency, and the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury for numerous criminal acts, including but not limited to, conspiracy, fraud, unlawful conversion, and treason. The following is a quote from McFadden’s famous address to the U.S. Congress in 1934.

“Mr. Chairman, we have in this Country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Banks, hereinafter called the FED.

The FED has cheated the Government of these United States and the people of the United States out of much more than enough money to pay the Nation’s debt. The depredations and iniquities of the FED has cost enough money to pay the National debt several times over.

This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the people of these United States. The FED has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the defects of the law under which it operates, through the mis-application of that law by the Fed and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it. Some people think that the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions.

[To the contrary] they are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; plus rich and predatory money lenders.

In that dark crew of financial pirates, there are those who would cut a man’s throat to get a dollar out of his pocket; there are those who send money into states to buy votes to control our legislatures; there are those who maintain international propaganda for the purpose of deceiving us into granting of new concessions which will permit them to cover up their past misdeeds and set again in motion their gigantic train of crime.”

06. Building Prisons Instead of Schools | New World Order / Deep State | Sovereign’s Handbook

January 8, 2022January 20, 2025 / Chief Visionary Officer & Founder / Leave a comment

By Johnny Liberty

If you want to know the heart and soul of a nation, look into its prisons and observe the conditions therein. The heart of the corporate United States has turned cold. The total number of prisoners held by the federal U.S. government has more than doubled between 1995 and 2020.

Our preoccupation with controlling each other has perverted the American Dream into today’s pathetic police state as was the former Soviet Union (USSR). Far too many innocent people behind bars dared to exercise their unalienable rights or were convicted of a drug or an immigration crime.

The “United States” has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with ever more laws passed that criminalize victimless activities. “Three strikes and you are out” should apply first and foremost to elected government officials.

Today, a higher percentage of “U.S. citizens” are behind bars for political reasons than were political prisoners in South Africa and other countries with alarming track records of human rights abuse. This is evidence of the drumbeat of tyranny marching steadfast upon our shores.

Political Prisoners in the United States of America

We the People do not see that our government has “political prisoners” such as Leonard Peltier, Julian Assange, etc. In all fairness, organizations such as Amnesty International should focus on the treatment of political prisoners in the United States as well as on their international work. It is wise to be aware of the coming holocaust upon human rights abuses in these united states of America

This author has direct experience with the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and asserts that without doubt at least 70% of the prisoners in the United States have been convicted and incarcerated for “political crimes”. A “political crime” is one legislated by the U.S. Congress or state legislatures where there is no damaged or insured party; where the defendant has merely violated an arbitrary corporate, commercial “statute or regulation”.

Under the “Common law” there was no crime unless that “plaintiff” can prove there was a damaged or injured party. But under “statutory” law anything can become “illegal”. An important distinction arises between what may be “lawful” and what is “illegal”. Just because it is illegal under statutory law does not automatically make it unlawful under the “Common law”.

Pursuant to the separation of powers doctrine, state law is the proper jurisdiction for prosecuting murders, rapists, muggers, burglars and other “Common law” criminals, where there are actual damaged and insured parties. That is unless those crimes are directed at government officials.

In Federal Detention Centers (FDCs), prisons, and camps, you will find the majority of “white collar” criminals, “political” criminals and those judged guilty of “crimes against the State”, in other words, “crimes against the government”.

“According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), 2,266,800 adults were incarcerated in U.S. federal and state prisons, and county jails at year-end 2011— about 0.7% of adults in the U.S. resident population. Additionally, 4,814,200 adults at year-end 2011 were on probation or on parole. In total, 6,977,700 adults were under correctional supervision (probation, parole, jail, or prison) in 2011 – about 2.9% of adults in the U.S. resident population. In addition, there were 70,792 juveniles in juvenile detention in 2010.”

Prison statistics are astounding considering how many new prisons have been built in recent decades. One-thousand thirteen hundred and fifty prisons were built before 1995. One-hundred and fifty new prisons were built in 1995. One-hundred and ten new prisons were built to accommodate 500 prisoners or more from 2000 – 2010.

Who needs all these prisons? Are they built for our security? Do we really need more prisons? Perhaps we need to elect federal and state legislators willing to pass fewer, more reasonable laws that are constitutional.

There is apparently no shortage of funding when it comes to building prisons, but what about building better schools instead? Why do we have plenty of funding for prisons to cage us, but not enough to staff better schools and teachers? Ask the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB) who raise the debt ceiling in the U.S. Congress twice a year. Why are we building more prisons and concentration camps instead of funding better schools and teachers?

Prisoners at Work

That the entire communist economic system in the former Soviet Union (USSR) was maintained through forced labor camps and prisons was little known. Even in the united states of America, prodigious numbers of prison laborers are working for major corporations such as Microsoft. We think a holocaust of gigantic proportions could never happen in this country. Wake up America, it is already happening now.

Our present conviction rate stands at 93%. When new repressive measures get passed, the conviction rate for the government will go up to 99%, assuring the federal government that if it merely charges you with a crime — the prosecutors are set to win and you will go to jail! Who needs defense attorneys in this scenario? It is a rigged system.
~ Johnny Liberty

Stand Tall, Stand Together for Justice

If the government can come and take any one of us for simply challenging the law and exercising our unalienable rights, then none of us will ever be free. In the words of Benjamin Franklin, “If we don’t hang together, certainly we will hang separately.”

The level of intimidation, fear and torture the federal U.S. government has taught third world dictators, by example, has come home to roost in our own prison system against our own people. If you wish to know the heart of a nation, look inside its jails and prisons. Has the “United States” lost its heart and soul?

Have our political leaders forgotten what country we live in? Is this the land of the free or the clone of some horrible communist/fascist dictatorship? The media propagandists have twisted the truth into a pretzel and the people must now awaken. If wrongful and unjust imprisonment can happen to other well-meaning, good people, it can happen to us.

If We the People cannot utilize
the Common law lien process,
then neither can the international
bankers, nor the government,
who act on their behalf.

There is now a double standard of justice:
one for the bankers and the government,
and quite another for the people.
~ Johnny Liberty

06. War Against the American Sovereign | New World Order / Deep State | Sovereign’s Handbook

January 8, 2022January 20, 2025 / Chief Visionary Officer & Founder / Leave a comment

By Johnny Liberty

Many people are awakening to the blatant corruption and abuses of of the federal U.S. government, now occupying the free and independent states of the united states of America for the benefit of foreign powers. “U.S. citizens” or sovereign “state” Citizens, may be the last bastion of freedom rising (or falling) in the world today.

Your courageous reflection is essential. and may be the most important challenge of our times. Remember the insightful book by Gary Allen, None Dare Call It Treason.

Next Generation of Colonization

Historically, “colonization” is nothing new to the people of the world. Ancient civilizations and tribal nations were conquered, occupied, then settled during European conquests around the world led by Portugal, Spain, Netherlands, Germany, France, England and the United States. Moreover, these countries were never entirely free from the European Power structures that ruled them. The buzzword of “democracy” is used to describe these colonial powers, even if in fact they are a curious hybrid of capitalism, Socialism, Communism and Fascism posing as independent nations. These same countries are member states of the United Nations (UN), indebted to the international bankers, and no longer sovereign nations.

A new breed of financial, corporate, and political “colonization” is happening in the world today. As was discovered by the Power structures, occupying a nation by military force is unwieldy and expensive. Today, occupying a country economically, legally and mentally via media propaganda is a far smoother, more lucrative, and invisible strategy for total control. There are numerous occupations by foreign powers in numerous countries around the world. This practice is widespread today.

Frontline of Freedom and Sovereignty

According to a recent D.C. Research poll, Americans are more afraid of their own government than of “terrorists”, and are unwilling to give up their civil liberties to fight them. When pollsters asked Americans, “In general, do you have more confidence in local, state or federal government?” Almost four in five Americans from all races volunteered that they had no confidence in government at any level.

American Nationals or sovereign “state” Citizens of the free and independent sovereign states of the Republic began losing their sovereignty after the American Civil War. This erosion of Citizenship and the free and independent states has continued unabated. We will discuss more about Citizenship in future chapters of this book.

The united states of America, distinct from the U.S. government corporation, is on the frontline of the New World Order assault upon the sovereignty of all the nations and peoples of the world. We the People had a well-founded legal precedent for maintaining individual and national sovereignty that stood in the way of the emerging Global Power structure. This is a bold statement of truth.

First, to achieve a de facto one world government without the consent of the people required obliterating the entire idea of sovereignty, both individual and national. To achieve this took an incredible effort and gigantic expense to destroy the innate free will of all of humanity.

Second, despite the deployment of the fear-based, authoritarian “plandemic” response to COVID-19, the escalation of international relations into World War III, destruction of the middle class via extreme inflation, and concocted divisiveness via Critical Race Theory (CRT) and gender confusion, the New World Order will not succeed in destroying the immense diversity and innate freedom of the entire human race. This is especially true if We the People restore our capacity to see the truth and the light of day.

Third, regardless of “mind control” and media propaganda abounding and compliant tendencies of the masses, the inborn, innate desire for freedom and higher consciousness is still abundantly alive and well! Our perspectives may be confused temporarily, thus, hampered for awhile, but the truth shall set us free.

“The New World Order cannot happen
without U.S. participation,
as we are the most significant single component.
Yes, there will be a New World Order.
Citizens will force the United States
to changeits perceptions.”
~ Henry Kissinger

Introducing the American Sovereign

The federal U.S. government, and the foreign powers now directing it, have waged a hundred year assault upon the U.S. Constitution and this Republican form of government. Our country, and its respective American National or sovereign “state” Citizens, were created over 230+ years ago.

“Our national government formally declared war on the American people in 1933 by amending the Trading With the Enemies Act (1917) to include all American sovereign “state” Citizens and suspending the U.S. Constitution through the Emergency and War Powers Acts which has continued until this day.”

The federal U.S. government has neither acknowledged, nor apologized, for its ongoing war upon its own sovereign “state” Citizens. We the People can reconstruct a de jure government by returning to the organic law that preceded the creation of the federal U.S. government, and thereby rebuild the foundation for a renewed “republican form of government” for all the people – this time regardless of race, creed, class, sex, or color, or financial class.

The Constitution of the United States, not the organic law that preceded it, may now have been suspended temporarily, but hopefully not destroyed forever. Rather than the current tsunami of illegal immigrants, the united states of America merely needs to be re-inhabited by an American National or sovereign “state” Citizens to restore constitutional government.

To restore the united states of America is not a matter of executive action, legislative action, judicial action, or majority rule in a democracy, but an individual matter of free will and choice. Will you reclaim your birthright or not? You decide whether or not to walk the path of individual sovereignty and exercise your “unalienable rights”.

“The “republican form of government” must be reconstituted from the bottom-up, not from the top-down. Will you throw off the chains of democracy and tyranny? Will you throw off the New World Order and establish a “Another World Order”? It is all around you.

Presently, many “U.S. citizens” and sovereign “state” Citizens are in exile within the “United States”, without a homeland, without a country, until constitutional government is restored in the united states of America. However, we can still live a fantastic life in our own homes, radiate sovereign principles and ethics, then show others what it means to live as a sovereign human being.

Principles of self-government continue to exist in the organic “Common law” and the “Natural law” that preceded it. Furthermore, there exist public laws and case laws of over 244+ years of the American system of law before it was corrupted by “statutes”.

However, reigniting the organic, “Common law” requires a flood of thoughtful, historically and legally astute “citizens of the United States”, declaring by a Verified Affidavit their status as sovereign “state” Citizens to re-inhabit the united states of America and transform tyranny into to a “republican form of government”.

Without sovereign “state” Citizens formally restoring a “republican form of government”, there can be no sovereign states, counties, townships, grand juries or constitutional law courts – there can be no united states of America.

04. Power Doesn’t Play By the Rules it Makes | Global Power Structure | Sovereign’s Handbook

January 6, 2022January 19, 2025 / Chief Visionary Officer & Founder / Leave a comment

By Johnny Liberty

There is a singular characteristic of all Power structures operating behind the scenes of international and commercial banks, large transnational corporations and nation states, which are pulling the puppet strings of the “visible” aspect of the Power structure.

With the exception of “Natural law”, which governs us all, these Power structures are not playing by the same set of rules and laws the rest of us are obliged to. Power structures are often the ones making the laws for the rest of us and finding ways to exempt themselves from compliance.

The U.S. Congress has exempted itself from “statutory” laws that apply to other “U.S. citizens”. They have established their own independent pension and social security system. They have their own benefit programs.

Government operates in what seems like their own country, separate from the rest of us, which as you will discover, is not too distant from the truth.

Some of the other congressional exemptions include: Civil Rights Act of 1964, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) of 1974, Ethics in Government Act, Family and Medical Leave Bill, OSHA and SSA. Remember, that Communist Party leaders also exempted themselves from the oppression that they reaped upon the rest of the country.

Power structures, and the network of individuals behind them, are not necessarily motivated by any higher moral order or supernatural authority, though at times, they may actually believe they are gods. They do not adhere to higher ethical standards, nor do they act on behalf of the public interest.

Power structures, and the often arrogant individuals behind them, are not loyal to any particular government or nation state. In addition, they are not compelled to obey the laws of English or French Common law, American law, the 1st Constitution ‘for’ the united states of America,the 2nd or 3rd Constitution ‘of’ the United States with the Bill of Rights.

Power structures obey whatever law suits them in the multiple jurisdictions they operate in which is generally the realm of “commercial contract” or the international “law of the sea”.

Power structures obey no law except when it serves their own self-interest. In their own minds, and within the institutions they have created, they are “above the law”. They are “Sovereign Powers” and act like it. These United States, European, Asian or Global Power structures do not obey the laws and rules they make for the rest of us.

“No government is ever in favor
of freedom of the individual.
It invariably seeks to limit that freedom,
if not by overt denial,
then by seeking to constantly widen
its own functions…
All governments, of course,
are against liberty…”
~ H. L. Mencken

Power structures take full advantage of insider knowledge of the legal, judicial and political systems and their servants within to further their own financial and political self-interest. It’s really that simple.

Power structures derive their acquired sovereignty from either the lineage of a King, Queen or Pope, an independently operating legal and foreign “person” such as a trust, corporation, or by virtue of extreme wealth, privilege and influence (i.e., international central bankers) or by operating in a combination of offshore jurisdictions in international law (Admiralty/Maritime).

Power structures act upon their sovereign authority with full reservation of rights. They are intent upon either competing or cooperating with each other for total control and ownership of the financial infrastructure, in order to create a global empire of, by and for the elite, a world government – the New World Order. (NWO)

“Never overestimate the intelligence of the American people.” ~ P.T. Barnum

Many U.S. citizens experience a gut feeling that they are being grossly deceived, misinformed and used by Power structures that operate behind the scenes of the propaganda media and government.

They sense that the U.S. President does not have the ultimate power, nor does the U.S. Congress or the U.S. Supreme Court. They know instinctively that someone is pulling the puppet strings of the United States political system, but cannot quite figure out who.

We the People have unknowingly and unwittingly become “economic slaves” of Power structures that control our global financial, legal and political systems, encroach upon our personal lives and limit our choices more pervasively than ever before.

Power structures funnel government subsidies into industries, schools, research, prime contractors, and transnational corporations that afford them the most leverage to support the policies that perpetuate their self-interests.

Power structures fund foundations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and non-profit organizations (NPOs) to advance their social, cultural, political, economic and educational agendas.

“The foundations are another arm of global manipulation. Norman Dodd was the Reece Committee’s Director of Research. He interviewed then Ford Foundation President, H. Rowan Gaither, as part of his report. Gaither told him that the Ford Foundation operated under directives from the White House
and that the instructions were to make every effort to alter life in the United States
to ensure a comfortable merger with the Soviet Union.” ~ The Tax-Exempt Foundations

Power structures have funded lobbying groups so as to purchase politicians wholesale in quantity discounts, to influence and legislate their own special interest agendas in Washington D.C.

It is no accident that Washington D.C. (District of Columbia) is overrun with nearly 12,000 lobbyists with budgets of $3.5b (2019) to influence money-hungry elected officials to vote for policies and laws sympathetic with the interests of the Power structure, both foreign and domestic.

Power structures have drastically altered the very founding principles of law and justice as established by the Founders. The global elite have instituted their own, self-interested brand of commercial, corporate, and “statutory” law that operate in a hidden international “Admiralty/Maritime/Military/Martial” law jurisdiction.

Virtually all the courts in the united states of America are legislative extensions of the U.S. Congress and have forsaken the original “Common law”, having replaced it with the law of international, commercial contracts or Negotiable Instruments law, in other words, the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) on behalf of numerous de facto governments.

For all practical purposes, the “Common law” upon which all constitutional and de jure governments are founded, no longer exists for the benefit of the people, but for the exclusive benefit of the Power structure that owns, operates and controls the financial and legal system that defends their interests – not yours.

This exclusive, hidden and secret knowledge of “sovereignty” is fundamental to the global elite’s strategy for world domination and conquest. That is why it is so essential that all the people of every nation, indeed every sentient human being, understand this and become proficient in every area of discussion in this book.

“Great nations are simply the operating fronts of behind-the-scenes,
vastly ambitious individuals who became so effectively powerful due to their ability to remain invisible while operating behind the national scenery.”
~ R. Buckminster Fuller, Critical Path

03. Northwest Ordinance & Indian Nations | Indigenous Sovereignty | Sovereign’s Handbook

January 5, 2022January 19, 2025 / Chief Visionary Officer & Founder / Leave a comment

By Johnny Liberty

The Northwest Ordinance is the first full declaration of the U.S. government policy regarding the Indian nations. It was a policy developed during a couple of centuries of Indian/colonial relations and reflected the good intentions of European Common law.

The same doctrine was embodied in the act of August 7, 1789, as one of the first declarations of the U.S. Congress under the new Constitution.

“The utmost good faith shall always be observed toward the Indians, their lands and property shall never be taken from them without their consent; and in their property rights and liberty, they shall never be invaded or disturbed…” ~ Northwest Ordinance, 1787

The Common law maxims embodied in the ordinance were in direct confrontation with the overwhelming desire to take the land from the Indians though, and forty short years later, the covetous intentions of the federal and state governments became apparent.

“The Discovery doctrine is a concept of public international law expounded by the U.S. Supreme Court in a series of decisions, most notably Johnson v. McIntosh in 1823. Chief Justice John Marshall justified the way in which colonial powers laid claim to lands belonging to sovereign indigenous nations during the Age of Discovery. Under it, title to lands lay with the government whose subjects explored and occupied a territory whose inhabitants were not subjects of a European Christian monarch. The doctrine has been primarily used to support decisions invalidating or ignoring aboriginal possession of land in favor
of colonial or post-colonial governments.” ~Johnson v. McIntosh (1823)

Indian Removal Act & Genocide

U.S. President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act (1830) into law. It was not overtly coercive, as it authorized the federal U.S. government to send negotiators to the Indians who would bargain for and promise to pay for Indian land if the natives chose to sell it. In practice though, it was a disaster, and with the encouragement of powerful individuals and state governments who coveted the territories, Indian resistance to enforcing the Act was met with military force.

Cherokee Nation, Georgia & Indian Law

During those days, the Cherokee Nation held a vast area of land within the borders of Georgia state. Considered the most civilized of the tribes, the Cherokees had adopted a representational form of government and a constitution patterned after that of the United States.

Every indication pointed to the fact that they intended to remain a sovereign nation on their ancestral territory and that they had no plans to disappear to the lands west of the Mississippi.

However, the State of Georgia was impatient to gain possession of the Cherokee’s lands and decided to proceed on its own. It arbitrarily created counties, superimposed their artificial borders over the historical Cherokee territory, and forced the foreign jurisdiction of Georgia state laws onto the Cherokee nation.

When the Cherokees attempted to redress their grievances about the matter before the U.S. Congress they were shunned, so they hired attorney William Wirt who took the issue directly to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Chief Justice John Marshall said the court did not have jurisdiction in the case of Cherokee Nation v. Georgia (1831) on the grounds that Indians were not truly foreign nations, because they were classified separately under the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.

He coined a new term for the occasion, “domestic, dependent nations”. He further asserted that individual Indians were in a “state of pupilage”, that is, wards of the government, and they only retained limited aspects of sovereignty through the treaties that had been signed.

Justice Smith Thompson vigorously dissented arguing that the U.S. Supreme Court did have jurisdiction. He argued that the Cherokee Nation should be considered a foreign state, an independent and sovereign nation, because the government had always dealt with the Cherokee Nation as a foreign state when entering into treaties. He did not agree with the Court’s interpretation of the commerce clause as excluding indigenous people from foreign statehood.

Justice Thompson also delineated the characteristics of a legal sovereign nation as it is still accepted in international law today. A sovereign nation must occupy a fixed territory with a population over which it exercises exclusive jurisdiction, and there must be a stable organization to administer its affairs and meet its international obligations.

The ink was hardly dry on Justice Marshall’s opinion when Samuel A. Worcester, a citizen of Vermont, was arrested by the Georgia militia for residing on Cherokee land without a license. The charges reflected the laws of the day: “…residing within the limits of the Cherokee Nation without license or permit from his excellency the Governor…”

Samuel A. Worcester was found guilty and sentenced to four years in the state penitentiary. Worcestor v. Georgia (1983) was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court where it was argued that the Georgia law was unconstitutional and therefore void because it violated U.S. treaties and the sovereign status of the Cherokee Nation.

In a dramatic departure from the decision in Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, the court agreed and reversed Worcester’s conviction. This time, Justice Marshall writing for the majority said: “The Indian nations had always been considered as distinct, independent, political communities, retaining their original natural rights, as the undisputed possessors of the land, from time immemorial.”

Furthermore, according to Story’s Commentaries on the U.S. Constitution, “There were Indians, also, in several, and probably in most, of the states at that period, who were not treated as citizens, and yet, who did not form a part of independent communities or tribes, exercising general sovereignty and powers of government within the boundaries of the states.”

Law of Nations & Indian Law

Under international law and a settled doctrine under the “Law of Nations” is, that a weaker nation does not surrender its independence – its aboriginal right to self-determination and self-government – by simply associating with a stronger power, or receiving its protection.

A weaker nation, in order to provide for its security, may place itself under the protection of a more powerful state, without stripping itself of the right to govern, and consequentially, cease to be a state.

Even though the court had drastically altered its stance in Worcester v. Georgia, it was the Cherokee Nation v. Georgia majority opinion that was ultimately favored in subsequent Indian relations – much to the detriment of those classified as “domestic, dependent nations” and “wards of the government”.

02. Sovereignty is the Source of Power | Individual Sovereignty | Sovereign’s Handbook

January 4, 2022January 19, 2025 / Chief Visionary Officer & Founder / Leave a comment

By Johnny Liberty

“Sovereignty is the source of power and authority from which all laws and governments arise…the source of power from which all governments are created and abolished with the consent of the governed…the central concept behind all political, economic and legal systems.” ~ Johnny Liberty

All wars, battles, fights, arguments and conflicts are essentially fought between “Sovereign Powers” over land, territory, property, control and/or political ideologies. Pertinent questions to ask are:

Who or what is the Sovereign?
Who or what has power over others?
Who or what shall prevail?
Who or what makes the rules and laws?

Whereas “individual sovereignty” is about self-government and reclaiming “internal authority” over your life, another important facet of sovereignty is the intersecting point between the inner and external realms. Both the inner and outer worlds meet, as above, so below, through this enduring idea of “sovereignty”.

Whoever or whatever constitutes the “sovereignty” of a nation state (i.e., national sovereignty) has the power to create or abolish the government at will through a “declaration of independence” and/or the authoring of national constitutions, or the state chartering of corporations, and/or the founding of banks operating under the exclusive authority of the sovereign.

For the first time, since the American Republic was founded 244 years ago, has this idea of “sovereignty” extended beyond the Pope, Monarch, Caesar or Tzar to individuals – an idea inherent among all free individuals organized in a free Republic – of, by and for the people. Will the usA survive as a Republic or be buried under the ashes of time?

“When the [American] Revolution took place, the people of each State
became themselves sovereign.” ~ Pollard v Hagan, 3 H. 212

With one exception, the Swiss Confederation (1848) has been a federal state of relatively autonomous cantons, some of which have a history of confederacy that goes back more than 700 years, arguably putting Switzerland as the world’s oldest surviving Republic.

Sources of Sovereignty in History/Herstory

Historically in the West, prior to the American Revolution and the founding of the united states of America, or usA, there were two sources of national “sovereignty” – one political and one religious.

POPE • MONARCH

Over thousands of years there existed a multiplicity of Kings/Queens of European, Asian and African nations along with the Papacy and the Vatican; Caesars and Tzars, Sheikhs, Emirs and Sultans of Middle Eastern and Islamic nations; indigenous American nations and tribes – all of which were vested with absolute “sovereignty” by their decrees, in their hands and through their swords.

In the West, many Monarchs (e.g., Queen of England) and their respective lineages are still operative as “Sovereign Powers” in the world today along with other overlapping and often competing Power structures.

In the East, dating many more thousands of years, existed Kings/Queens, Emperors, nomadic barbarians, warlords and benevolent tribal peoples – all of which were vested with absolute “sovereignty”.

Common to both the “sovereignty” of the West and the East was the simple fact that the common people had no rights or recourse against these “Sovereign Powers”. Law-making and rule-making was absolute. Justice was often swift and ruthless. These “”Sovereign Powers” established new nations through conquest, colonialism, war, slavery, disease, economic subjugation and exploitation since the dawn of human history/herstory. These “Sovereign Powers” have also destroyed and murdered thousands of indigenous tribes and millions of indigenous people to the point of extinction.

The human story is replete with examples of “Sovereign Powers” and entire nations plundering others people, tribes and nations for their own personal, economic and political benefit.

> SOVEREIGN – Supreme, absolute, uncontrollable power and authority over a body politic; freedom from external control; superior power owing no allegiance to another; enjoying autonomy; an acknowledged leader; source of all laws and governments; organizes various entities and structures to manage and preserve their assets.

> SUBJECT – Owing allegiance to a sovereign or other ruler and is governed by his/her laws; the term is little used in countries enjoying a “republican” form of government.

In today’s world, there are 35 full-blown Monarchies, including the Papacy. Rule by Monarchy exists in 51 fully constituted states, in 36 colonies and dependencies of the world’s 197 nation states. 26 of those Kings/Queens claim personal, legal ownership to more than 20% of the surface of the planet for a total of 36,933,896,500 acres.

Of all those Monarchies, Queen Elizabeth II is the largest landowner by far (6,698,146,531 acres). In her sole name is vested the legal ownership of over one-sixth of the planets surface.

The British Empire as Sovereign Power

In modern times the British Commonwealth is led by the sovereign lineage of the Monarchy of England. Today Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Phillip are still at the helm of this Sovereign Power structure despite their sometimes humble public image.

Besides being the world’s largest landowner, Queen Elizabeth II is a Queen with 32 crowns – conceivably more crowns than any single individual has ever worn in all of human history. She wears these crowns one at a time by “de facto” election, each of her royal dominions having either elected or chosen to retain the Queen as head of state.

Although it may appear the Queen of England does not have decision-making authority with regard to the day-to-day functioning of the British parliamentary government, the Queen still holds the reigns of a long genealogy of power and sovereign authority from which the British government was created.

The lineage of the British Royal Family holds vast assets in numerous “Sovereign Trusts” with a situs in the Isle of Man from which the Queen may grant equitable rights to various real estate and grant other assets to their royal favorites in exchange for loyalty. The Queen of England does not, or rarely, conveys “Sovereign Titles” to land.

The Queen of England is by far the wealthiest woman, very likely the wealthiest individual in the world, with tremendous power and control over her royal assets. Although, it may appear to an outsider that the Queen of England’s power has been diminished due to the rise of very powerful Central Banking families (e.g., Rothschild’s Bank of England), the Royal Family are still an awesome “Sovereign Power” to contend with.

During the early founding of the usA very powerful British subjects and corporations had North American colonial lands “deeded” to them by one of eleven Kings of England.

These included the Virginia Company and the New England Company which were the first charters in the New World from which the Founding Fathers originally received their titles and property. King George III was the King of England during the American Revolution.

The British people (e.g., England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales) are today and will always be, “subjects” of the Queen of England wherever they reside in the British Commonwealth including countries such as United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Grenada, Jamaica, Papua New Guinea, Soloman Islands and Tuvalu.

The Queen of England, and the six decades heir to the British Throne (e.g., Prince Charles) are still at the helm of the indisputable, invisible, behind-the-scenes Power structure of the British Empire worldwide, although many of her administrative duties have been rightfully delegated to the British government. This principle of “Sovereign Powers” applies to other Monarchies as well as their respective governments with some variation.

> REAL – From the Spanish meaning “royal”; pertaining to the succession of king deeded, estate lands; all titles flow from the sovereign; the root of the term “real” estate.

Papacy, Catholic Church and the Vatican as Sovereign Power

The independent city-state of Vatican City (108.8 acres) was established in 1929 by the Lateran Treaty on behalf of Pope Pius XI, signed by Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Gasparri, Prime Minister Benito Mussolini on behalf of King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy.

Vatican City is an ecclesiastical state ruled by the Bishop of Rome – the Pope as a “Sovereign Power” on behalf of the Catholic Church. Vatican City is an “Ultra-Sovereign Canon Law Trust” from which property and assets are granted to papal favorites in exchange for loyalty and obedience. All land held by members of Catholic religious orders is ultimately held in the Pope’s name (177 million acres).

“Canon Law Trusts” served as the legal basis for most democratic and parliamentary governments formed in the New World or North America, including the Mayflower Compact, the State Commonwealths and the 1st Constitution for the united states of America (usA).

“Canon Law Trusts” represent a long lineage of a “Sovereign Power” that arose during the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, and continues to this very day.

The Pope still holds tremendous “Sovereign Power” today, both over his congregation of Roman Catholics around the world (1.2 billion), but also economic and political power through the administration of the Pope’s assets and property.

The Pope and Vatican City are the third largest “real estate” owners in the world after Queen Elizabeth II and King Salman (bin Abdulaziz Al Saud) of Saudi Arabia. Much of contemporary colonialism and the settling of the New World of North and South America arose by “papal decree”, or sovereign law-making authority, and was substantiated by the “Canon law”.

Since sovereignty is the source of power and authority from which all laws and governments arise, each “Sovereign Power” created its own system of law and then imposed that law upon their “subjects”. Laws were passed down from generation to generation, from nation to nation over a long period of time after which the source of these laws were no longer questioned.

When these “Sovereign Powers” discovered, then colonized indigenous territories and nations (i.e., Indians and tribes), the King of England and the Pope brought their respective laws to the new North American colonies. The newly founded American system of law became a hybrid of the laws that were settled at the time.

The King of England codified the “Common law,” derived from the Mosaic Law of the Old Testament and other natural laws, beginning with the Magna Carta (1215), the Petition of Rights (1618) and the Habeas Corpus Act (1679). This was the original basis by which the North American colonies governed themselves.

Forty-seven (47) states based their state constitutions on the “Common law” of England. The only exception was Louisiana based its state constitution on the French and Spanish Common law.

Alaska and Hawai’i are irregular “states”, more like U.S. possessions or territorial federal States than states of the Union. The Kingdom of Hawai’i was an independent nation before the overthrow of Hawaii’s Queen and the unlawful annexation by the United States under military rule.

The Pope codified the “Canon law”, which was integrated into the “Common law”, and was the foundation in law from which the 1st Constitution for the united states of America (usA) derived its authority which incorporated the basic tenets of religious freedom.

The “Doctrine of Discovery” was a “papal decree” that paved the way for contemporary colonialism, the exploitation of indigenous peoples worldwide, international law and the international court system.

> COMMON LAW – Unwritten, natural law codified in England from the Mosaic law of the Old Testament, Magna Carta I (1215), Petition of Rights (1618) and Habeas Corpus Act (1679).

> CANON LAW – Moral rules and laws integrated from various religious traditions especially the Roman Catholic Church; rights given by “GOD” through intuition and common sense; principles of life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness; principles of religious freedom and the 1st Amendment.

As we have learned,“Sovereign Powers” create and abolish governments at will. They charter corporations, establish trust organizations, commercial enterprises, engage in war to protect or expand their interests, and administer economic controls through Central Banking systems.

In conclusion, “Sovereign Powers” are pulling the invisible strings of corporations, banks and nation states. They are more powerful than Presidents, Senators, Congressmen or other high-ranking government officials and bureaucrats. “Sovereign Powers” are also immune from prosecution by civil authorities.

“Sovereign Powers” are more powerful than the CEO’s of Transnational Corporations, or Governors of the 50 corporate federal States. They are a complex, mostly invisible, network of individuals, nation states, business trusts, legal fictions, corporations, foreign entities, investment firms, hedge funds, and central banks.

“Sovereign Powers” operate as the source of all power and authority, protected by the rule of force through their militaries and police, while having unlimited access to both economic and political power inaccessible by their “subjects”.

Finally, here comes an evolutionary possibility with the immortal words of this author (aka Johnny Liberty), “We the People have a wild card, yet to be fully played. In the united states of America, We the People are in fact the Sovereign Power of this nation – if we reclaim and restore it. In the united states of America, every man and every woman has the inherent power to be a King or Queen in their own right, in their own home on their own property without government encroachment or interference”.

Old friend, in the united states of America (usA), We the People are either sovereign American Nationals or sovereign “state” Citizens. In fact and in law, there is no superior authority under the American system of law. It is up to each one of us to reclaim our individual sovereignty and re-establish a lawful, “de jure” Republican form of government of the people, by the people and for the people.

“There is no such thing as a power of inherent sovereignty in the government of the [federal] United States… In this country sovereignty resides in the people, and Congress can exercise no power which they [the sovereign people] have not, by their Constitution entrusted to it: All else is withheld.” ~ U.S. Supreme Court Justice Field, Julliard v. Greenman, 110 U.S. 421

Seven Aspects of Sovereignty

Every aspect of sovereignty defines the realm of a responsible, moral, ethical and integral individual. This takes enormous courage, faith, kindness and contentment to reach the levels of freedom and enjoyment we are capable of in our precious lives.

The seven aspects of sovereignty are:

Attaining physical health and well-being.
Attaining emotional health and balance.
Practicing spiritual sovereignty and the golden rule.
Freeing yourself from mental slavery.
Achieving economic sovereignty and financial independence.
Choosing your Citizenship.
Establishing true independence in your nation of choice.

The Power of Sovereignty

Based on the inherent nature of the free individual.
It is the source of authority from which all laws and governments arise.
It is based on the action of the individual being supreme.
It is a gift that you choose to give yourself.
