What if your birth certificate isn’t a proud record of your arrival but a contract enslaving you to a corporate government? In 1921, the Sheppard-Towner Maternity Act launched the birth registration system, sold to Americans as a way to protect mothers and infants. The truth? It created a federal birth registry, turning your children into “federal children” owned by a bankrupt United States. You’re not a free citizen—you’re human capital, tagged and tracked like livestock. Ready to uncover the deception? Let’s dive in.The Maternity Act: A Wolf in Sheep’s ClothingPassed in 1921, the Sheppard-Towner Maternity Act promised to reduce maternal and infant mortality. Its hidden agenda was far darker: establishing a federal bureau to oversee state agencies and create a national birth registry. Before 1921, births were recorded in family bibles, accepted as official by law and community. Post-1921, states mandated birth certificates, claiming they prove U.S. citizenship. No federal law requires this, yet a Social Security number—another tracking tool—is now issued at birth.Under the doctrine of parens patriae (“parent of the nation”), the federal government claims authority over your children, acting as their guardian. It can nullify your parental rights, appoint trustees, and treat your child as a state asset. Why? Because the birth certificate creates a trust, with your child as the asset, and the Social Security number tracks its value. You’re no longer a parent—you’re a custodian of government property.Bankruptcy and Betrayal: The 1933 PledgeIn 1933, President Roosevelt declared bankruptcy, and the governors of the 48 states pledged the “full faith and credit” of their citizens—including you and your children—as collateral for Federal Reserve loans (see U.S. Const., Art. IV, Sec. 1). Your child’s birth certificate became a security, traded like a bond, with you as the unwitting surety. The state claims an interest in every child, viewing them as “human resources” to be trained, taxed, and exploited for labor. Each year, a new crop of assets is born, fueling this corporate machine.The Legal Fight: A Lost Battle?In 1923, Massachusetts challenged the Maternity Act’s constitutionality in Commonwealth of Massachusetts v. Mellon and Frothingham v. Mellon. The plaintiff argued the act usurped state powers under the 10th Amendment, imposing federal oversight on maternity and infancy issues. It warned of forced pregnancy registration, mandatory prenatal exams, restrictions on midwives, and even compulsory birth control or marriage inspections. The Supreme Court dismissed the case, ruling that the act imposed no direct burden on states, only taxing citizens—who fall under both state and federal taxing powers. The act was repealed, but its core mechanisms persist in other laws, entrenching federal control.The Court’s reasoning ignored the act’s deeper intent: to erode state sovereignty and individual rights. It set a precedent for federal overreach, allowing bureaucrats to tax and regulate under the guise of cooperation, without true consent (see McCulloch v. Maryland, 17 U.S. 316; Hammer v. Dagenhart, 247 U.S. 251). Congress lacks authority to legislate for states, yet the system persists, unchallenged.The Modern Shackles: Tagged and TrackedToday, the government views you as “human resources,” not a free individual. From public school enrollment to driver’s licenses, you’re conditioned to seek “permission” for daily life in a supposedly free country. National ID cards, health IDs, and other tracking systems loom, treating you like tagged livestock. The Constitution hasn’t changed, but the government’s view of human life has—your liberty is an illusion, enforced by a system that profits from your ignorance.Break the Chains: Reclaim Your FreedomYou’re not powerless. The 10th Amendment reserves powers to the states and people, not the federal government. Demand proof of their authority to treat you as property—where’s the contract? File a UCC Financing Statement to claim your strawman (the corporate YOU in all caps) as a secured party creditor, leveraging the trust created by your birth certificate. Research House Joint Resolution 192 (1933), which allows you to discharge debts using this trust. Write to your representatives, but don’t beg—demand your God-given rights. If they claim ownership over you, let them produce the evidence.The Great American Revolution isn’t over. If liberty is a lie, it’s time to write the final chapter. Will you remain a federal asset, or will you rise as a sovereign individual? The choice is yours—but you must act.
