The belief in a sovereign U.S. government is a misconception rooted in a complex trust framework established through historical events. This guide reveals how the United States operates as a private corporation, pledges citizens as assets, and provides actionable strategies to reclaim your financial and legal sovereignty. By understanding this system, you can navigate the commercial landscape and assert your inherent rights.The Corporate Nature of GovernmentHistorical events transformed the U.S. from a constitutional republic to a corporate entity, impacting how citizens interact with legal and financial systems:
- 1861: Dissolution of Congress: During the Civil War, the departure of Southern states dissolved Congress’s quorum, leading President Lincoln to reconvene it under martial-law jurisdiction via Executive Order No. 2 (April 1861). This established “color of law” governance, operating under the “law of necessity” (see maxims: “Necessity knows no law”).
- 1868: 14th Amendment: The unratified 14th Amendment created “citizens of the United States,” corporate entities subject to a private, commercial jurisdiction, pledging individuals as assets to secure the national debt (Section 4: “The validity of the public debt… shall not be questioned”).
- 1871: Incorporation of the District of Columbia: Congress formed a private corporation, “United States Government” (16 Stat. 419, reorganized 20 Stat. 102), trademarking names like “U.S.” and “America.” This entity operates under a Federal Constitution of 1871, distinct from the original Constitution.
- 1913: Federal Reserve Act: This surrendered control of the money supply to private bankers, replacing United States Notes with Federal Reserve Notes (debt instruments).
- 1933: Bankruptcy Declaration: HJR 192 and the Emergency Banking Relief Act declared the U.S. bankrupt, pledging citizens’ labor to pay interest to creditors like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Federal Reserve (see 5 USC 903, 12 USC 95).
- No True Government: The U.S. operates as a corporation, not a sovereign government, with officials paid through commercial entities like the IMF, not public funds (see 22 USC 286 for IMF agreements).
- Human Capital: As a “citizen of the United States,” you are treated as an asset, with your labor pledged to service the national debt.
- Myth of Federal Reserve Shares: Claims that Federal Reserve shares were issued for $100 in 1913 are unverified, as the Federal Reserve’s structure involves member banks, not individual shares [].
- File a UCC-1 Financing Statement: File with your state’s Secretary of State to claim equitable title over your strawman, establishing yourself as a secured party creditor (see our Secured Party Creditor Process). Verify UCC procedures on your state’s Secretary of State website.
- Use Accepted for Value (AFV): Endorse financial instruments (e.g., bills, tax notices) to authorize debt discharge from the trust account tied to your strawman (see our Accepted for Value: A Step-by-Step Guide).
- Chargeback Process: Notify the Secretary of the Treasury via a Bill of Exchange to charge up your UCC Contract Trust Account, using your Social Security number as the account identifier for debt discharge (see our Secured Party Creditor Filing and Treasury Chargeback Procedures).
- Challenge Jurisdiction: Demand proof of subject matter jurisdiction over you as a living individual, not the strawman, in legal proceedings to avoid commercial jurisdiction.
- Verify Legal Foundations: Research statutes (e.g., HJR 192, 5 USC 903, 12 USC 95) and cases (e.g., Cromelin v. United States, 177 F.2d 275) on govinfo.gov or Westlaw to confirm the trust framework.
