From the April 2001 Idaho Observer:=20

Is our Constitutional House on Fire?

The imprisonment of Oroville, Wash., pro-American microbroadcaster = Mark Alan=20 has sold a lot of newspapers in the remote and sparsely populated high = country=20 near the Canadian border. A majority of people in the distribution range = of The=20 Okanogan Valley Gazette Tribune are angry that the federal government = would keep=20 one of their own in jail on bogus assault charges. The tragedy softened = the=20 editorial heart of the Tribune into accepting a few articles intended to = open a=20 few eyes to some historic truths that explain what is happening to our = country.=20 Following is one such article. Thanks, Bob. You have managed to explain = a=20 complex concept in terms we can all understand well enough to finally = see how we=20 have been had.=20

by Bob Nicholson

The "Act to Provide a Government for the District of Columbia," = Section 34 of=20 the Forty-First Congress of the United States, Session III, Chapter 61 = and 62,=20 enacted February 21, 1871, states that the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is a = corporation, whose jurisdiction is applicable only in the = ten-mile-square parcel=20 of land known as the District of Columbia and to whatever properties are = legally=20 titled to the UNITED STATES, by its registration in the corporate = County, State,=20 and Federal governments that are under military power of the UNITED = STATES and=20 its creditors. Under this provision, the military Congress of the UNITED = STATES=20 has the power to pass private international law for application within = the=20 federal District of Columbia.=20

The Act provides that the UNITED STATES, the corporation, has = jurisdiction=20 only within the confines of the ten-mile-square parcel of land, known as = the=20 District of Columbia, and its legal property; and that the corporation = Congress=20 has power to pass Private International Law, applicable only in the = District of=20 Columbia.=20

The Act specifically defines the jurisdiction and the venue of the=20 corporation.=20

UNITED STATES CODE, Title 28, 3002(15)(A), basically reiterates that = the=20 UNITED STATES is a corporation.=20

What was not said in 1871, but was implicit, was what is plainly = stated at=20 Title 28, 3002(15)(3): That all departments of the UNITED STATES = CORPORATION are=20 part of the corporation.=20

Title 28, UNITED STATES CODE, is Copyrighted Private International = Law.=20 Indeed, the UNITED STATES CODE, in its entirety, is Copyrighted Private=20 International Law, and applicable only in the District of Columbia.=20

The previous information was taken almost verbatim from the beginning = of a=20 letter sent to King County Sheriff David Reichert of Seattle from Gary = W.=20 Phillips. Phillips, 69, whose career with the Immigration and = Naturalization=20 Service began in 1956 and resulted in his being the federal agency's = director at=20 Sea Tac Airport for 20 years, began challenging the income tax in 1985 = (The=20 Idaho Observer, March, 2000). After nearly 40 years of government = service,=20 Phillips was forced to flee his country to protect his life after = exposing the=20 facts of the illegality of the federal government's criminal income tax=20 collection scam -- facts that are becoming well know among informed = people=20 throughout the country.=20

Why did the Congress feel the need to separate the District of = Columbia with=20 a special Act of Congress? What kind of a government did it create? The = Congress=20 created a corporation. Where did the Congress find the authority in the=20 Constitution to reconstitute any part of the united States as a = corporation?=20 Quite simply, the 1791 Constitution was set aside to make room for the=20 corporation. Would this Act benefit the Republic? In truth, it would be = of no=20 benefit. The corporate bottom line is profit. The municipal bottom line = is=20 service. To replace our service-oriented form of government with a=20 profit-oriented form of government without our knowledge or consent can = only be=20 described as treason.=20

The process began in the mid 1860s after the Civil War -- a war that = depleted=20 the country financially. Once the smoke settled European international = bankers=20 arrived in town. The international bankers and the Congress conjured up = this bit=20 of mischief and passed it into law.=20

But whose law? This Congress broke faith with the People in 1871 and = sold us=20 out when they formed this corporation and made it the government of the = District=20 of Columbia.=20

A few superficial changes were made to the original Constitution and = it was=20 no longer the real thing. Congress did not change the name of the = document, so=20 they could claim to be reading from the Constitution. They merely = changed it=20 from the Constitution for the united States of America to the = CONSTITUTION OF=20 THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. They changed the "for" to "of' and = capitalized all=20 the letters. All of the sudden we had two Constitutions.=20

The Act of 1871 provided a government for the District of Columbia = and=20 created a corporation entitled the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA whose = jurisdiction=20 extends only over corporate entities created by the municipal = corporation and=20 operative only in the District of Columbia. Washington, District of = Columbia is=20 the capitol of the District of Columbia, not the United States of = America, and=20 all laws passed within the District of Columbia are applicable and = enforceable=20 only in the District of Columbia and it's possessions.=20

The States of the Republic are not possessions of the District of = Columbia.=20 Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam are possessions of the District = of=20 Columbia as well as property legally titled to the UNITED STATES by = states and=20 counties.=20

The UNITED STATES CODE, in totality, was put together in the District = of=20 Columbia as Copyrighted Private International Law and is applicable only = in the=20 District of Columbia. By their own rules of jurisdiction, the UNITED = STATES=20 ATTORNEYS have no business prosecuting anyone outside of the District of = Columbia. The UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT has no venue outside of the = District=20 of Columbia and, therefore, has no jurisdiction outside of the District = of=20 Columbia and its possessions. The Congress cannot pass a law that is = applicable=20 in the several States of the Republic.=20

If all the laws passed in the District of Columbia are Private = International=20 Law, this includes all of the UNITED STATES CODE and the statutes at = large=20 passed after 1871, and are applicable and enforceable only in the = District of=20 Columbia, then why have they become the law of the land?=20

Essentially, this unholy alliance, from its treacherous inception in = a=20 international banker-influenced post-Civil War era, built an illegal = corporation=20 that has systematically corrupted every state, county and city in this = nation=20 and corrupted the thinking of most people of the united States of = America.=20

This illegal corporation has created dozens of agencies, the IRS, = FBI, DEA,=20 and the BATF, to name a few, which employ thousands of agents who = receive=20 excellent salaries and benefits for betraying their friends and families = while=20 enforcing the malefic edicts of the so-called Congress.=20

The men and women of Congress smile, speak softly, and then release = their=20 ill-begotten creatures to destroy those who do not fully conform to = their=20 wishes, and strike fear into hearts of those who do.=20

Kidnapping and conspiracy are involved in every arrest and conviction = by=20 federal authorities outside of the District of Columbia.=20

The question now leads to whether our duly elected public officials = swear an=20 oath to uphold the Constitution for the united States of America, the = Republic=20 within which our rights are protected by a service-oriented government, = or swear=20 an oath to the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the = profit-oriented=20 corporation?=20

It appears by their actions that most government employees, knowingly = or=20 unknowingly, have sworn an oath to the corporate UNITED STATES.=20

It is our duty as the People who elected them into office, to demand=20 accountability from our "public" officials and confront them as to where = their=20 loyalties lie. Is it with the corrupt, treasonous corporation that is = controlled=20 by foreign enemies from within and without, or is it with our = constitutional=20 Republic, the united States of America and her citizens?=20

Most of us will I ask, can this be true? Ask yourself: How can this=20 government enact such scams as the unconstitutional and privately-owned = Federal=20 Reserve System -- a for-profit corporation, or the unconstitutional = income tax=20 system, where there is clearly no proof a law exists which states the = average=20 person is required to file a tax return (there have been full page ads = in USA=20 Today newspaper paid for and written by former IRS agents detailing this = truth)?=20

How can they send our boys off to fight foreign wars without a = declaration of=20 war? How can they administer false prosecutions against people, like = Gary=20 Phillips, whose attempt to expose the truth forced him to flee the = country he=20 honorably served his entire life?=20

Now we have Mark Alan of Oroville, Wash., being arrested o n Feb. 8, = 200l,=20 for allegedly assaulting a federal officer (The Idaho Observer, March, = 2001).=20 The charges are false and witnesses were at the scene to testify as = such. Mark=20 Alan has been kidnapped, arrested and imprisoned in Spokane County Jail = without=20 bail, and is presently challenging the court's jurisdictional authority = based on=20 the previously reported facts. In response to Mark's arguments Assistant = U.S.=20 Attorney Tom Hopkins who is representing the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, = said that=20 Mr. Alan's arguments may have been novel in 1800, but in 2001 he has = insulated=20 himself from the reality of 200 years of legal history that rejected his = arguments-inferring the Constitution is outdated.=20

He stated a UNITED STATES case that confirmed this in 1997. Mr. Alan=20 responded, asking Mr. Hopkins as to which United States he was = referring.=20 Further, Mark very pointedly demanded to see Federal Magistrate Judge = Cynthia=20 Imbrogno's oath of office -- which she has never provided -- and went = into=20 immediate recess when asked for it in open court.=20

If the inference is that the Constitution is outdated, then please = tell us=20 which part is outdated, Mr. Hopkins. Is it the part that is supposed to = prevent=20 excessive bail (8th Amendment)? Is it the part that is supposed to allow = us=20 freedom of speech, the press, or religion (1st Amendment)? Is it the = part that=20 is supposed to allow us to be secure in our homes (the 4th Amendment)? = Or=20 perhaps it's the part that, according to Thomas Jefferson and current = Attorney=20 General John Ashcroft, allows us the right to bear arms as a last = defense=20 against tyranny in government (the 2nd Amendment)?=20

By 2001, anyone who challenges the authority of the UNITED STATES = with facts=20 of law and history is either forced to flee for fear of their life, = demonized in=20 the courts to the point nobody will believe them, are intimidated with = threats,=20 falsely imprisoned or just simply murdered.=20

The media continues this perfidy with outright lies and very artfully = contrived distortions of the facts.=20

If our Founding Fathers were alive today and you were to meet one of = them,=20 ask yourself: "What might he think of me? Am I striving to preserve the = heritage=20 he gave his life and sacred honor to provide me?=20

Mark Alan and Gary Phillips have sacrificed everything to protect our = heritage. They could stand up with our Founding Fathers...Could YOU?=20

George Washington once said, "Government is like fire. We bring it = into our=20 rooms to keep us warm, but we build a chimney to keep the fire from = consuming=20 us. The Constitution is the chimney that keeps government from consuming = us."=20

Has that chimney collapsed? Is it simply in need of restoration? Or = is the=20 house already on fire?=20

The manner in which Phillips, Mark Alan and others have been treated = is an=20 indication that our constitutional house is, in fact, on fire.=20
