In the beginning, there were the states which wanted to form a government for the protection of the rights of the individual and to provide for the defense of the soon-to-be united but, still, sovereign, States.

They had fought a hard, bloody war in order to gain their independence and wanted to assure no government could again rob individuals of their God-given rights, nor affect the sovereignty of individual States.

So, this is the geographic lay-out. There were the States with their designated boundaries. Each retained its sovereignty from the other states and the federal central government. Thus, while one state may have as law the speed limit as 55, another might have it as 65. Thus, state jurisdiction.

Tthen there was the central government with its designated boundaries which was never to exceed ten square miles. It is separate from any, and all, of the States. It is known as the District of Columbia and may be identified as the U.S. Government, a separate entity physically and contractually (the Constitution) from the United States of America. It is actually as foreign to the States as any possession, such as Guam or Puerto Rico, or Canada, or Mexico or any other foreign nation one wishes to name.

In other words, what we have today is the 50 states which are sovereign to each other and to the centralized federal government. The federal government has direct authority only over the District of Columbia and its residents, the possessions and their residents, and land ‘donated’ by States in providing for the common defense, such as military bases, or rented property for like federal purposes.

In other words, without authorization of the States, the federal government hasn’t any authority over any State or any resident. It is limited to its own only. Thus, federal jurisdiction.

Why is this important? Well, we have many laws on the books that supposedly dictate to us what we may or may not do. However, if the states did not give the government the authority to enact the laws, then the laws do not mean anything other than to the residents of the District of Columbia and its possessions. To the states, they are no different than Canadian laws being applied to the states. In other words, powerless and inapplicable.

A very real example is the "federal income tax" laws that citizens of the 50 states respond blindly to. Federal means federal. Originally, the IRS was the Internal Revenue Bureau of Puerto Rico and established to collect taxes due in Puerto Rico. See, the government could collect tax directly the residents of the District of Columbia, federal property, and the possessions as it has direct control.

But, not so with the States of the Union. You must understand - The District of Columbia is not a state of the Union nor part of a state. It is a separate entity that exists only because the States permit it to exist.

Thus, it does not fall into the jurisdiction of any one State, nor does its jurisdiction extend to any state. It is as foreign as any other foreign nation. You can check this out for yourself. Article I, Section 8, Clause 17 (US Constitution) states the power of the federal government is limited to its own property. The sovereign states are not the property of the federal government. It does not ‘own’ we people of this nation; rather, we own it.

Furthermore, Article I, Section 8, Clause 3, states the federal government has the power to "regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian tribes;". The term "States" as defined in USC 18, Section 921, includes "the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the possessions of the United States" but not the sovereign States.

So you can see We, the people of the united States of America, do not have to pay any attention to laws enacted by the federal government any more than we do laws enacted in Mexico or England or any other foreign country. That is, unless the States got together and directly allowed the limitations of the central government to be exceeded by ratification.

In example, the direct tax (Victory Tax of WW II) imposed on the residents of the District of Columbia and possessions could not be imposed on the people of the States as this is against the Constitution of the united States of America. And the government knew it as it now knows the illegality of the income tax.

But a very sneaky bastard, G.K. Humphrey (the then Secretary of the Treasury) on July 9, 1953 renamed the Internal Revenue Bureau of Puerto Rico (or the Philippines) to the Internal Revenue Service without approval of Congress or the President.

The result of Treasury Order 150-6, even though illegal, was that it got people to believe the foreign trust, the Bureau of Internal Revenue of either Puerto Rico or the Philippine Islands, had jurisdiction over the sovereign States and their residents. And, hence, the hoax began.

Totally false, of course, but since it has instilled the fear that is instilled by all dictators, even courts (excepting the Supreme Court of the United States of America) are afraid to rule in favor of citizens as they are supposed to do when confronted with any confusing, ambiguous law or one that simply doesn’t apply or is unconstitutional.

To put this simply, Folks, the 16th Amendment actually did not extend the jurisdictional powers of Congress to include direct taxation of any citizen of the united States of America. This should be announced publicly by the President of the united States of America and any actions by the IRS against the people of this nation ceased forever.

The IRS isn’t even an legal agency, let alone an agency that has any jurisdiction over the people of this nation. Furthermore, all property seized by the IRS from any citizen should be returned immediately with interest and the most sincere of apologies as the property was illegally and unconstitutionally seized under false jurisdiction.

Our people fell prey to the government and have allowed multitudes of laws to affect their rights even though the laws are in opposition to the Constitution of the united States of America.

Do the people of the sovereign States have to continue blindly responding to a federal government that has committed fraud, and exceeded its authority by passing unconstitutional laws that are outside its jurisdiction?

Not hardly. This is America and, Folks, to be blunt, it is not only our right, it is our duty to cease responding to unconstitutional federal dictates. The feds, Congress, must be made to understand jurisdiction and their power limited as intended.

We must, if we are to regain freedom, began taking action now and forcing the federal government back into its very limited role by every legal means available.
