2814-2817: Common Misconceptions-- 4.0: Land and Soil from Lincoln County Watch
By Anna Von Reitz
Ever
notice that ubiquitous phrase "land and soil"? Ever wonder why they
don't just lump it together under one word, like "dirt"?
The Romans, and later, the British, made a distinction between "land" and "soil" and the Americans followed suit.
Under
Roman Civil Law, the soil (Latin: "soli") comprises the first
shovelful of dirt overlying all the rest, which is the land.
The
British convention defines "soil" as the top six inches of the Earth, a
sort of "intransignant" permanent skin that covers the entire planet,
including the ocean basins.
The
Romans assessed their Empire according to a system of distances and
landmarks called "stadia"; the Brits adopted this system and measured
their roads with "mileposts" and their farm fields with "acres" measured
via horizontal Cartesian coordinates and marked with "boundary
stones".
So the defining measure of "soil" is depth, and the defining measure of "land" is horizontal distance.
In
this system which we inherited, the two things--"land" and "soil" are
actually quite different, even though they must be considered together
because the soil overlays the land.
As a practical matter, we all live on the soil.
In
America, our counties define our soil jurisdiction, and the counties
within the borders of a State taken together, create the soil
jurisdiction of each State.
The soil within each State's borders comprises its "National Jurisdiction".
If
you similarly join all the different State soil jurisdictions together,
you find yourself looking at The United States, the familiar
multi-colored political map showing our States as fifty pieces connected
to each other like a crazy quilt.
Directly
underlying this "quilt top" of soil is the land, made up of the subsoil
and all the minerals and rocks and hidden aquifers and oil deposits we
access when we drill wells.
If
you were to map out the land directly underlying and belonging to each
State you would have another crazy quilt, but this time, you would be
looking at The United States of America.
Land, unlike soil, is an international jurisdiction.
Think
of it like a layered sheet cake, with the soil layer overlying the land
layer, and the whole thing cut up into "State" pieces.
Also
think of it as The United States overlying The United States of
America, whose reach extends out beyond the shores of our nation-states,
to the edge of our currently claimed international sea boundary.
That
is, a proper map of The United States of America would not only show
the land jurisdiction of the States, but would extend out into the sea
and include the "maritime borders" defined as "American Waters".
Thus
the national boundaries of our States and of The United States are
fixed and immutable as a depth dimension, but the international
jurisdiction of the land and sea overseen by The United States of
America is quite subject to change, as proven by over two hundred years
of disputes over everything from deep sea fishing rights to ownership of
oil reserves in the Arctic Ocean.

Common Misconceptions - 3.0: Our Organic Laws
By Anna Von Reitz
There
are only four (4) Organic Laws underpinning this country and every
American had better believe it, study each one, and understand the set
up.
The first organic law is The Unanimous Declaration of Independence.
There
were other "declarations" before and after, pertaining to the
Territorial United Colonies, etc., but the one that pertains to us,
Americans, is the Unanimous Declaration published 4 July 1776. This
started The War of Independence, also known as The Revolutionary War.
The second organic law is: The Articles of Confederation.
Insomuch
as is humanly possible, The Articles of Confederation established a
"perpetual union" among the member American States of States, as of 1
March 1781. Please note that this was done in the midst of the
Revolution, and five years after the establishment of the Federation of
States doing business as The United States of America.
The
third organic law is: The Constitution --- whichever one applies to
you: (1) Federal Constitution (1787); (2) Territorial Constitution
(1789( or (3) Municipal Constitution (1790). We have been thought to
think in terms of there being only one Constitution, but there are in
fact three, and three different groups of people with one Constitution
each.
The fourth organic law is: The Northwest
Ordinance, which establishes an orderly process for new States to be
organized and to join the Union of States. As each new piece of
wilderness was populated, it was placed under the control of the
Territorial Government and existed first as a Territory, then entered
"Territorial Statehood", and finally was accepted and enrolled as a full
State of the Union.
Everyone who ever saw an
old John Wayne Horse Soldier movie has had a taste of this process. Who
was out there on the Great Plains? The U.S. Army Cavalry --- that is,
the Territorial Government acting under Martial Law. And who else? The
U.S. Marshals.
Prior to the Civil War,
States like Ohio and Wisconsin and Illinois went through this same
process, existing first as Territories, then entering Territorial
Statehood, and finally being enrolled as States of the Union having
Equal Footing with all the other States.
During
and after the Civil War many more States got organized and populated
and went through the process ordained by the Northwest Ordinance. They
became Territories, then entered Territorial Statehood..... and
then.....and then.... nothing more.
The States
were not in Session, so there was no Government operating the Land and
Soil jurisdiction, and no way to complete the process and enroll these
later States as States of the Union. Until now.
Remember --- the States of the Union have not been in Session for 160 years.
Nobody was "home" to welcome the new States into the Union and finish the enrollment process.
So
these (mostly) Western States remained in limbo, in a quasi-Territorial
status, endlessly waiting to be enrolled as actual States of the Union
according to the Northwest Ordinance process.
The
actual properly declared State Assemblies are now in Session. They
were polled for a Roll Call Vote this September and the Western States
were finally and officially enrolled as States of the Union having the
full rights and prerogatives of every other State, beginning at midnight
of 30 September 2020, and retroactive to the date that each State
entered Territorial Statehood.
All those
Americans who were arbitrarily misidentified as Territorial Dependents
and who were born on the land and the soil of these mostly Western
States are now also due a complete status correction and recognition of
their standing as American State Nationals and American State Citizens.

Common Misconceptions -- 2.0 : Your Urgent Attention, Please.
By Anna Von Reitz
The
two remaining foreign Federal Subcontractors, the British Territorial
Government and the Papist Municipal Government, incorporated their
business interests following the Civil War --- and there was no rule
prohibiting them from restructuring in this way despite all the
confusion about the Act of 1871 and the Municipal Acts.
As
businesses, all three Federal Subcontractors had offices of a
"President" associated with them. Look up the legal meaning of
"President" and you will see that this is merely the CEO of a business.
The
Presidential Office associated with the American Federal Subcontractor
doing business as the States of America was: The Office of the President
of the united States of America.
The British Territorial Office was and is: The Office of the President of the United States of America.
The Papist Municipal Office was and is: The Office of the President of the United States.
Successive
corporations sponsored by these foreign Federal Subcontractors doing
business generally as "the US, INC." and "the USA, Inc." have undergone
cyclical and deliberate bankruptcies.
These
bankruptcies have been used to off-load the corporate debts of these
foreign Federal Subcontractors onto the backs of unsuspecting Americans,
who were unknowingly left standing as "sureties" for the operating
expenses of these corporations.
And
let's put it this way --- left to themselves to "interpret" their
duties and the meaning of their contracts, these foreign Federal
Subcontractors have mightily helped themselves to our labor and our
assets under conditions of non-disclosure and fraud.
The
abuses and usurpations have gone so far as to "presume" that we "left"
and went somewhere "over the seas" and "abandoned" our country and our
assets, leaving everything to be divided up among our erstwhile
employees and their creditors.
This is the bunko set-up we are facing off right now and every American loyal to this country needs to show up for duty.

Common Misconceptions - 1.0 - Treaties v. Constitutions
By Anna Von Reitz
I
am constantly running into misconceptions people have "adopted" through
suppositions and assumptions made in ignorance, and those wrong-headed
ideas grow into a life of their own when shared. So let's prune out the
static.
First
and foremost among these wrong assumptions is the idea that the
Constitutions are "the" supreme law in international affairs. They're
not.
Treaties outrank Constitutions. Constitutions must conform to Treaties, not the other way around.
The
Constitutions we have are typical of Constitutions everywhere. They
are power-sharing agreements with business organizations that implement
treaties and which result in debts and performance obligations on all
sides.
Look up the legal definition of the word "constitution" and you will learn that all constitutions are debt agreements.
Our
Constitutions define and hire three Federal Subcontractors --- one
American Federal Republic, one British Territorial organization, and one
Holy Roman Empire Municipal organization.
The
States are obligated to pay in gold and silver for the services that
each of these Subcontractors perform, and they also agree to "delegate"
certain enumerated "Powers" to these Subcontractors to enable them to
provide the related services to be performed.
There is nothing mysterious about this and nothing sacrosanct.
The
Constitutions are called "The Law of the Land" because all the Federal
Subcontractors operate in jurisdictions other than the land; they
operate in the international jurisdiction of the sea, or in the global
jurisdiction of the air, so that when they "come ashore" the
Constitutions lay down their limits and duties.
It's the "Law of the Land" from their perspective, not ours.
The
Constitutions do not represent the full scope of our Land Law. They
merely represent the Land Law that the Federal Subcontractors are
obligated to follow with respect to us and our States of the Union.
The Federal Subcontractors were all business organizations and functioned initially as unincorporated businesses.
Following
the Civil War, the American Federal Subcontractor doing business as
the States of America, was no longer operating, because the
Confederation sponsored and directed it--- and the Confederation itself
ceased functioning in 1860.
The
Reconstruction of the Confederation was never finished and the fate of
both the Confederation and the Federal Republic, our American Federal
Subcontractor, both, were held in abeyance, waiting for the States to
Assemble and complete the Reconstruction process.
We have been waiting 160 years. This is the first time that the States of the Union have assembled since the Civil War.
