3889-3890: More Idiocy Concerning "the" Confederacy -- Which One? from Lincoln County Watch
By Anna Von Reitz
The
actual Confederation -- not "Confederacy"-- was created as of March
1, 1781 and functioned under The Articles of Confederation; it ceased
operations after Lincoln's election in 1860, because the Southern
Delegates walked out, leaving the organization without a quorum. It has
never resumed operations since then and has not been "Reconstructed" by
the States that created it.
The
remaining Northern Delegates milled around and created what they called
"the Union Confederacy" and the absentee Southern Delegates formed what
they called, "The Confederate States of America". It is this second,
Southern group that is popularly called "the Confederacy" today.
So,
right out of the box, you have the original Confederation that was
formed under The Articles of Confederation, rendered useless for lack of
quorum.
You have two splinter group "confederacies" neither one of which are operating under The Articles of Confederation.
The
Northern splinter group calls itself "the Union Confederacy" and later,
just "the Union" --- which it never was; the Southern splinter group
calls itself "The Confederate States of America" and later, just "the
Confederacy".
This
is what the records say and this is what happened, no matter how much
people wish it were otherwise, and no matter how many axes there may
still be to grind.
The
Confederation is for all practical purposes, dead. It has been dead
for 162 years. The actual States can reconstruct it or bury it upon
their current-day reconsideration, but it is not viable as is and hasn't
been for a very long time.
Before
we move on from this solid point, let's review what the Confederation
was and where it fit in the structure of American Government.
The Confederation was the third structural element of the American Government.
Prior
to creating the Confederation, the independent States created a Union
of States standing together under The Unanimous Declaration of
Independence, doing business as the United States.
Two
months later, the same independent States created a Federation of
States doing business as The United States of America. Both of these
organizations were and are unincorporated by definition, and both were
formed in 1776.
Five
years later, and still in the grips of The War of Independence, the
same States created the Confederation and began doing their mutual
Maritime (Commercial) business as the States of America.
This
represents a logical progress of development. The original Union of
States gave rise to a Federation of their States conducting
International and Global business. Five years on, they re-delegated
powers originally exercised by the Federation to the Confederation,
thereby separating the Admiralty and Trade Powers (Federation) and the
Maritime Commercial Powers (Confederation).
The
structure of the American Government allowed the Union of States to
control the National Jurisdiction of the soil while being protected by
both the Federation operating in International Jurisdiction and the
Confederation operating in Global Jurisdiction.
Everything functioned as intended for 85 years, and then, the original Confederation failed for lack of quorum.
There is still one other point about the Confederation to be considered.
Whereas
the Union and the Federation had the independent and sovereign States
as members, the Confederation membership consisted of the
states-of-states business organizations that the actual States employed
to deliver government services.
When
the Union and the Federation held meetings, the States sent
delegations. When the Confederation held meetings, the
states-of-states, like The State of Ohio and The State of Florida, sent
delegations.
These
meetings were called "Congresses" and the delegates sent to these
meetings were, of course, Congressmen, even though they were considering
business in distinctly different jurisdictions and even though they
varied according to the kind of entity, State or State-of-State, being
represented as their membership.
Note
that the Confederation is distinct and different and apart from either
of the two confederacies, North and South, spawned from it. Notice the
difference in the verbiage: the Confederation (1781) is not the same as
the "Confederacies" formed from it in 1860.
And,
importantly, neither of the Confederacies can claim any authority
vested in them by The Articles of Confederation. These Articles
approved by the States were for a perpetual union of State-of-State
organizations -- but this union and the organization that represented
it, failed in 1860.
Also
note that one of the resulting Confederacies, "the Union Confederacy"
calling itself the "Union" and the State-of-State organizations
supporting it and calling themselves "the Union States" during the Civil
War, can easily be confused with and mistaken for the actual Union of
States formed in 1776 so far as the verbiage is concerned.
As
a result, when we talk about "the Union States" it is further necessary
to explicitly define the context of the conversation --- are we talking
about the 1776 Declaration Union States, that is, the free, sovereign
and independent States, or are we talking about "the Union States" of
the Northern Confederacy representing, for example, The State of New
York, during the Civil War?
There
are two different Unions involved, differing in kind and in power,
originating in different time periods, having different characters,
different memberships,, and different inherent powers and limitations.
Today,
we face well-funded Opportunists who would seek to commandeer our
efforts on the proverbial wooden nickel. These people who claim that
the Southern Confederacy never surrendered and therefore that it
represents the only valid part of our American Government to survive the
Civil War, are blissfully ignorant.
The
free and independent sovereign States survived it. The Union of those
States survived it. And the Federation of States survived it.
All
of these Powers are greater by far than any unauthorized splinter group
of state-of-state business organizations representing the Southern
Confederacy, all of which were ruinated in the collapse of The
Confederate States of America, whether they formally surrendered or
not.
Meanwhile,
why didn't the sovereign and independent States represented by the 1776
Union and the Federation of States participate in the Civil War?
First,
because the Civil War wasn't a war. It was an undeclared and illegal
Commercial Mercenary Conflict engendered on our land and soil. This is
proven by the fact that there is no record of any Congress issuing a
Declaration of War, and no Peace Treaty ending it.
Second,
because we chose a different route -- to pay the cost of buying all
slaves their freedom, and to abolish and outlaw the evil practice of
enslavement from that point on.
The
Good News is that two-thirds of the original American Government
survived the Civil War, and that portion, the 1776 Union and the
Federation of States, is more than sufficient to operate this country
with no reference to the Confederation at all.
Remember
that the Federation of States provided all external business
negotiations and services from 1776 to 1781; we can do so again. We
don't need the services of the Confederation to manage our affairs.
Also
notice that all powers originally delegated to the Confederation
returned to the Delegators by Operation of Law, when it ceased to
function, so the Federation from whence those Powers came is already in
receipt of them and is merely exercising them again.
Observe
that when we issued the Summons for the State Assemblies to come back
into Session, it took less than two months to secure adequate declared
representatives from all fifty States to "reboot" the entire structure.
Observe that there are now fifty (50) State Assemblies in Session.
Those
Territorial "States" which had been organized under the provisions of
the Northwest Ordinance and then left in limbo awaiting the time when
the free and independent sovereign States would reconvene and enroll
them as full States in the 1776 Union finally got their relief as of the
first of October 2020, when the States enrolled as of 1860 voted unanimously to enroll all the Territorial States.
This
action has provided us with fifty (50) fully credentialed States of the
1776 Union, fully empowered to exercise their Treaties and Contracts.
Finally,
please note that our free, sovereign, and independent States are
republican in nature, and have never been democracies subject to the
demands of mandates or majorities or large numbers of delegates
representing various political factions.
For
the purpose of claiming our assets and invoking our so-called
reversionary trust interest, we have more than enough self-aware, fully
documented, recorded, and declared Americans standing as independent
sovereigns in their own right on the land and soil of every State of the
Union provided for under our own Public and Organic Laws.
There
is no need, no legal provision for, and no lawful reason for the
British King or the Pope, either one, to assume any right or interest
with respect to our property and material assets, nor any role for them
related to our property and material assets that is not provided for
within the context of our venerable treaties and service contracts.
Any other argument seeking to condone their avarice in the face of our long-established objections is insupportable.

The Importance of Land and Who Owns It?
By Anna Von Reitz
When the current world organizational structure was set up, three basic jurisdictions were set up: air, land and sea.
The Pope controlled the air.
The Spanish King controlled the land.
The British King controlled the sea.
And the Spanish and British Kings both owed their offices to the Pope, albeit, in different capacities.
So
when we talk about land in the modern world we are talking about: (1)
cadastral surveys, and (2) Spanish Land Grants -- whether or not Spain
ever directly occupied or possessed the land in question.
Once
the Spanish King put his signature on a Land Grant, that Land Grant and
the Deed accompanying it, is the Possession of the Grantee and no
superseding action can remove it.
Land
is what the rest of us call the Subsoil underlying a country. Land is
fundamentally important, because it underlies everything on Earth,
including the Oceans. It is what creates and gives rise to the Soil---
and the Soil's Jurisdiction defined as the top six inches of the Land.
You cannot have a country without land, and a nation (population) has no
standing without land.
So
it is of critical importance that our land was--- and is---- properly
granted to us by the King of Spain as of 1778, and the Deeds have been
preserved along with the Treaties by General Cortez and his family, so
that there is no question whatsoever that our country is rightfully
founded and we have the possession and ownership of it as acknowledged
by all current systems of international law.
To
the extent that pirates have come upon the land and tried to claim it
and have enforced a brutal and foreign system of land "titles" to
overlay the actual grants, grant-deeds, and patents, the Maxim of Law
applies: "Possession by pirates does not change ownership."
The
British King and the Pope combined cannot change what the Spanish King
has written and what they, themselves, have agreed to.
Whereupon
we have invoked our underlying grants and deeds and patents and brought
them forward with full standing to rebut the presumption that there are
no Americans still retaining their native birthright and inheritance
interests.
We
are here, present and accounted for. The land of this country belongs
to us and to all those who accept and retain their birthright nativity;
and, with the land goes the soil, which is part of the land.
