If you can be forced to pay any amount of property taxes an assessor clams is due, you have no unalienable right to own property.   Fail to pay property taxes and government will initiate a process that will eventually result in the loss of your property for the alleged non-payment of property taxes.

How can you avoid the total loss of your property for non-payment of property taxes?  You must, of course, take your property out of the United States.  Placing yourself and your property within the United States is a voluntary act of  enfranchisement whereby you declare yourself to be a citizen of the United States.

The United States is the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America, so, any property, real or personal, left on government land is subject to government regulation, taxation and even confiscation.

Even the most casual reader of  these Posts will be able to bring together from these Posts the events and the dates of  those events which allowed George Washington to establish, in America,  the first democratically elected  military dictatorship.   It doesn’t matter what local elective office is being contested the top office of  President of the United States will always go to a dictator.

By combining in a presumed Office of  the President the two Offices of  President of the United States of America and President of the United States, and causing the misconception that the Constitution of September 17, 1787 had been adopted and was binding on government, George Washington made that illusory Constitution the supreme law of  a mythical land ruled by subordinate State governors who were themselves democratically elected State dictators.  All State governors duplicate the power grab initiated by George Washington on April 30, 1789, when Washington took the oral oath to be President of the United States.    Since the ratification and establishment of the Constitution of September 17, 1787, governors have been democratically elected by the people who claim to be citizens of the United States.  These popularly elected governors operate just like the person in the federal Office of President of  the United States.  Governors are the heads of  those United States and the heads of  State government.

There is no source of civil government power for free people as their power of  self government is their freedom, which is unalienable.   Questioning the credentials of  all government officials who claim the sovereign powers of government will result in a proof such powers are limited to  the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America.   The so-called Founding Fathers realized this truth soon after the defeat of  King George III, but kept that fact to themselves while they plotted to take power from the people.   My “Basic Course in Law and Government” is the only instruction in law and the structure of  government based in the Organic Laws of  the United States of America, which are yours for the asking along with information on my $50 trial instruction offer.  To get both, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

The Office of the Los Angeles County Tax Assessor makes this bold claim on its website: “State law mandates that all property is subject to taxation unless otherwise exempted. Your property taxes support necessary services provided to the residents of Los Angeles County. These include law enforcement, fire protection, education, parks and recreation, and other vital services.”

To what state law does the LA Tax Assessor refer?

CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION, ARTICLE 13 TAXATION

SEC. 1.  Unless otherwise provided by this Constitution or the laws of the United States:

(a) All property is taxable and shall be assessed at the same percentage of fair market value. When a value standard other than fair market value is prescribed by this Constitution or by statute authorized by this Constitution, the same percentage shall be applied to determine the assessed value. The value to which the percentage is applied, whether it be the fair market value or not, shall be known for property tax purposes as the full value.

(b) All property so assessed shall be taxed in proportion to its full value.

What doesn’t the Assessor tell you?

The Assessor doesn’t explain why only personal property located within the federal territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America might be subject to forced taxation.  The government of the State of California within California is the only one which has been authorized by Congress to tax property within the State of California, however, because the State of California is the designation for the federal territory, within California, owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America, only non-federal personal property can be taxed.  Before admission into the second Union, a State must promise not to tax federal property, which leaves only the personal property not owned by the United States of America subject to property taxation.

CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION, ARTICLE 3 STATE OF CALIFORNIA

SEC. 1.  The State of California is an inseparable part of the United States of America, and the United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land.

The above sentence means the State of California is the same kind of federal territory made a permanent part of the Confederacy by Article 4 of the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787, so only non-governmental personal property located on the federal territory within California is taxable.

Joining the Confederacy under the authority of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 did not require any transfer of territory within that State.  Territory claimed by a State of the first Union, the United States of America, which had been ceded to the Confederacy became a permanent part of the Confederacy pursuant to Article 4 of the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.  The Northwest Territory was comprised of what would be the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota, so it can readily be seen how the term “United States” would come to mean the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America. The territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America is also “the United States Constitution” George Washington swore to “preserve, protect and defend.”

Once the American people freed themselves from the British tyrant, King George III, only force could openly subject them to the same kind of blatant tyranny.   The Confederation Congress, George Washington and the politicians of the time managed to re-install the same kind of government which had been expelled by a violent revolution, without firing a shot.

Using trickery and deceit, it only took a few Americans, who could keep a secret, led by George Washington to replace American freedom with one onerous central government.   My “Basic Course in Law and Government” explains how George Washington created the American Presidential dictatorship and my “Advanced Course in Law and Government” helps Students achieve near total freedom.   A $50 trial version of the $500 Basic Course in Law and Government along with the Organic Laws is still available by contacting me at edrivera@edrivera.com

The perennials, death and taxes, have existed since kings have ruled, so why should it be so surprising to learn any legal basis for all taxation ended in America with the fall of King George III.  Monarchs reigned and their subjects consented or suffered the consequences.  The end of the monarchy in America should have been the end to predatory government and taxation, but written law was just getting started.

The principle of the equality of men announced in the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 precludes 50%+1 of them from voting a tax on the other 50%-1, but it did not prevent the constitutional chicanery concocted by George Washington and his crew.  The result of that chicanery was a Congress and President unrestrained by an adopted constitution and limited only by the depth of the ignorance of the America people.

The brilliant Founding Fathers are long gone and no one of their ilk remains to continue the great constitutional hoax.  The petty bureaucrats who have inherited the constitutional confidence racket haven’t a clue as   to how it works, so once we begin to pick at the loose ends the whole structure will fall.

It would be a mistake to challenge taxation at the top where it is strongest.  First, demand that your property be removed from the property tax rolls.  You will soon learn no government official claims authority to remove property from the tax rolls, so why shouldn’t you have the right to remove it.  Once you complete my “Basic Course in Law and Government,” you can qualify as an Advanced Student in the field of your choice.  To get all the details, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

On May 9, 2008, Barack Hussein Obama in Beaverton, Oregon while on the campaign trail made this puzzling statement:  “It is wonderful to be back in Oregon.  Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it.”

You can check out all the explanations for Obama’s 57 on the Internet, however, none of them will do anything to reduce or eliminate your property taxes.

It is obvious that Barack Hussein Obama was briefed by the government of the United States of America.  There are the 50 States of the second Union, the United States and the 6 federal States, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, America Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands.

Clearly, Obama was mistaken about the States he had visited, but he got their number right.  Can you name the 57^th State?  Here’s a hint—the answer can be found in the Organic Laws of the United States of America, which I will send you just for the asking.   I will reveal the name of the State to every new Student of my Basic Course in Law and Government, which can be started for as little as $50.  For the searchable Organic Laws and information on the Basic Course, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

The process is very simple: just tell the government to remove your property from the tax rolls.  Those tax rolls were created when someone who once owned your property failed to object to the inclusion of that property on the assessment list.  Someone without a legal education, in your property’s past, put it on the taxable property tax list, but now that you’re a graduate of my Basic Course in Law and Government you can take it off that list.  

 

When there was a king, the king’s men would put property on the taxable property list, with the king gone no one, but the owner of property could declare his or her property taxable.

 

The unscrupulous wing of the Founding Fathers, aka los sinvergüenzas, came up with Article I Section 2 Clause 3 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787, which made everything taxable, which wasn’t owned by the United States of America.  This clause permitted the States of  “this Union,” the Union of  States without sovereignty, freedom and independence to tax all property not owned by the United States of America.   

This Union, made up of  the States which were without sovereignty, freedom and independence, was immediately replaced with the first Union, which was perpetual, but vulnerable to hyperbole, by the claim that the Constitution of the United States had replaced the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.

 If the government didn’t immediately remove your property from the tax rolls, maybe you need to repeat my Basic Course in Law and Government.  I’m revising the Course, but until the revision is complete I’m offering the Course on a trial basis at $50.  To take advantage of this offer, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

The power used in a taking of private property for public use is called eminent domain.  The concept is historically derived from both the war power and the law of necessity, which empowered the king to take whatever property was necessary to protect the people from invasion or other serious harm.    

 

 Eminent domain is found in the Bill of Rights, specifically in the last clause of the Fifth Amendment of the Bill of Rights.  The Constitution of September 17, 1787 was established on June 21, 1788, when New Hampshire became the ninth State to ratify “this Constitution.”  George Washington took an oral oath on April 30, 1789 to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States,” which was not a written constitution, as a consequence “this Constitution,”  the Constitution of September 17, 1787 ratified by the States of  the first Union was never adopted by any constitutional officers, who remained employees of  the Confederacy.

 

The true purpose of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 and Bill of Rights was to have a large number of people believe their rights depended on that Constitution and those first ten amendments.  Both the Constitution of September 17, 1787 and the Bill of Rights brilliantly convinced vast numbers of people that constitutional rights were real and had value. 

 

The people of the United States, the people of   the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America immortalized in the Preamble as “We the People of the United States,” supposedly bound themselves and their descendents to the Constitution of September 17, 1787 by some kind of incantation to “ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”  These people left no evidence of an ordination or establishment of any Constitution.  

 

 Individual submission to the Constitution of September 17, 1787 is the only personal activity which submits a person not on federal territory to the commercial authority of the Constitution.  Ratification of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 and the Bill of Rights by the States was binding only on those States.  The State elections which resulted from those ratifications did not produce all the qualified officers needed to form the government described in Article I Section 1 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  The institution of a Congress consisting of the Northwest Ordinance’s House of Representatives and a Senate, whose members were not qualified pursuant to Article I Section 3 Clause 3 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787, resulted instead in the political body identified in Section 101 of Title 1 of the United States Code as “the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled.” 

 

Eminent domain pursuant to the war power and law of necessity remains in the United States in Congress assembled under the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.  Eminent domain pursuant to the Fifth Amendment or any State Constitution which recognizes the Constitution of the United States as the supreme law of the land is limited to the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America.   

 

Members of Congress claim the Articles of Confederation were replaced by the Constitution of the United States, so that means an eminent domain taking can only take place in the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America, which means only personal property could be taken, because the United States of America already owns all the territory in the United States.

 

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 even when ratified by all thirteen States of the Confederacy, the United States of America, had only one direct application to people—taxation.  The power of taxation like the power of eminent domain, in a time before a proliferation of corporations, would be arrayed against people.   The temporary government of the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 meant temporary taxation.  Article I Section 8 of the Constitution extended taxation by two years indefinitely.  What the Constitution did for temporary taxation the Bill of Rights did for eminent domain. The Bill of Rights did more for government than the Bill of Rights did for ordinary people.             

 

The power of eminent domain is part of the power to make war and the law of necessity, which is why it is not specifically mentioned in either the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 or the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  The origin of the power of eminent domain provides for limitations on the power, however, because it is found in the Bill of Rights the Supreme Court thinks any taking is good and for a public purpose provided there is some compensation.

 

You can limit eminent domain to the taking of personal property on the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America by learning the four Organic Laws and how together they establish territorial limits on federal laws, which begin and end with government ownership and possession.   I will send you searchable copies of  all four Organic Laws plus information on my Basic Course in Law and Government , if you will contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

Taxes on property are determined by getting a list of all taxable property, appraising each property and then apportioning the amount of revenue to be collected among the listed property according to the appraised value of each property.

Knowing how direct taxation works in the abstract only makes property tax collection a simple process in an absolute monarchy, where the concept of the king’s realm or domain makes everything and everybody subject to direct taxation.

Getting rid of the king, as the Americans did in the American Revolution, would have gotten rid of the property tax in America, if George Washington hadn’t stepped in and taken King George III’s place.

Washington became head of the United States of America on April 6, 1789 and head of the government on April 30, 1789 and that process has continued through the administration of Barack Hussein Obama.

All those Presidents have spawned a new “Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harrass our People, and eat out their Substance,” who are now called government employees.     

As was the case with all the king’s men, all government employees ultimately end up wielding the unrestrained the power of a king.

All over America cities are facing the reality of bankruptcy brought on by the mistaken belief the People and their property could be taxed without limit.

The new reality every municipality must face is the fact that the Declaration of Independence had it right—that taxation required informed consent.

George Washington fathered this country using deceit and military force.  Now that we know how it was done we can stop deceitful collections and in the future allow no “Taxes on us without our Consent.”

Washington’s government takeover is fully documented in my “Basic Course in Law and Government,” which anyone can sample for $50.  Graduates of the Basic Course can qualify to take the Advanced Course in Law.  You can start your legal education, as every legal education should, with the Organic Laws of the United States of America.  Contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com  and I will send you searchable Organic Laws along with information about the Basic Course in Law and Government.

The United States in Congress assembled would finally ratify the Treaty of Paris of September 3, 1783 on January 14, 1784.  The federal government’s power to tax the settlers and other inhabitants of the Northwest Territory would be established as of April 15, 1783.  

For most Americans, April 15 is tax day, but few realize federal taxation began with the acquisition of the Northwest Territory, which would become the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota.  If you want to understand taxation in America, you have to be taken back to its roots. My Basic Course in Law and Government is the only one that takes the Student to the beginning of written law, taxation and the origins of government.  To get started for $50, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

Every evil of modern government including taxation can be blamed on the popular vote.  Written laws in America are limited in their application by the Organic Laws of the United States of America to the territory owned by the United States of America and the inhabitants of that territory.

Article IV of  the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 makes provision for the inclusion of the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota as part of  the Confederacy and the taxation of the inhabitants of that territory: “The said territory, and the States which may be formed therein, shall forever remain a part of this Confederacy of the United States of America, subject to the Articles of Confederation, and to such alterations therein as shall be constitutionally made; and to all the acts and ordinances of the United States in Congress assembled, conformable thereto. The inhabitants and settlers in the said territory shall be subject to pay a part of the federal debts contracted or to be contracted, and a proportional part of the expenses of government, to be apportioned on them by Congress according to the same common rule and measure by which apportionments thereof shall be made on the other States;”

The temporary law of the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 quoted above was made permanent in Article I Section 8 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787: “The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;”

The phrase: “United States” in Article I Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States refers to the territory belonging to the United States of America, which remains subject to the exclusive legislative power of the Congress of the United States popularly elected by citizens of the United States.

George Washington and the Founding Fathers risked their lives and reputations constructing the conspiracy that would subvert freedom in America to the degree necessary to permit the federal government to rule the people of the States, which retained their sovereignty, freedom and independence, the present government will not release rule back to the people willingly.  The American people must expose the fraud of the Founding Fathers and reclaim their freedom from taxation.

Dr. Eduardo M. Rivera          

The power to tax is not just involved with the power to destroy it is the power to destroy.   Both the power to tax and the lawmaking power can be traced back to the despotic power of monarchical rulers.  Ancient tyrants ruled the nations they conquered, as if they owned them, because they did own them.  Monarchs taxed and laid down the law, because no one dared to oppose the royal ruler.

The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 changed ancient history.  Taxation and lawmaking, now, had to be consensual, but on an individual basis.  That spelled trouble for American politicians, because the people, once they were freed from royal tyranny, were unwilling to bind themselves to a democratic version of what they had under King George III.  The Framers of the Constitution concocted the Representative and House of Representatives to con Americans to consent to taxation and to being ruled by Congress.

My Basic Course in Law and Government shows how George Washington and his Freemason cronies subdued and subjugated the American people.  The Whiskey Rebellion was put down with the military might of the United States of America, and soon after the tax on spirits a tax on carriages was imposed.  Subjugation by unwarranted taxation didn’t end with George Washington’s two terms as President of the United States and President of the United States of America.      

Some twenty years after Washington’s death, Chief Justice John Marshall of the Supreme Court ruled erroneously, in McCulloch v. Maryland, that the Constitution exempts the Federal Government from state taxation.  In that case the Chief Justice set forth his renowned dictum that “the power to tax involves the power to destroy.”

 Government power in America vanished along with King George III.  George Washington brought it back with a vengeance.
