All law is naturally divided into written law and unwritten law.

The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776, the first Organic Law of the United States of America states that our unalienable rights are to be found in the body of  unwritten laws known as the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God.”

The Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777, the second Organic Law, binds the States of  the United States of America in Article IV  to honor the unalienable right of  the people of  the States to live only according to the “Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God,” as free inhabitants.

The third Organic Law, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787, expressly states where the United States of America, the Confederacy, may tax the settlers and inhabitants.  Article 4 expressly states that this district, “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…”

As the Northwest Ordinance formed a temporary Union of United States, which would in time qualify to be admitted into the Confederacy, it was necessary to prepare a permanent document for the new Union and to revise the Articles of Confederation to accommodate the administration of the new United States.    The Constitution of September 17, 1787 made provision for the administration of the new United States through a Congress of the United States, the President of the United States and a Chief Justice who would preside at any impeachment of the President of the United States.  Because the President of the United States was, in spite of his high sounding title, only an employee terminable at will by impeachment, the executive power of the United States of America had to repose in a President of the United States of America, who had the power of appointment and who could be Commander in Chief of the military.

The simplicity of the law is in danger of being lost if law is left to legislatures, lawyers and judges.   Contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com  to become a Student of the Law.

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 idea behind the Marketplace Fairness Act is that it levels the competitive sales field between brick and mortar merchants and Internet sales operators.   The truth is it just provides more illicit tax revenue to incompetent State governments.   The American people freed themselves from the tyrant King George III and nothing short of a coronation of a new monarch can re-impose monarchical power upon them.  This being a free country the people are free to enslave themselves individually or collectively.  A sales tax is a government charge on the privilege of selling at retail.  It is a tax on the retailer indirectly paid by the consumer in the cost of goods purchased.

The opportunity to engage in commerce is an unalienable right of every human being and the realization of that opportunity is a fundamental basis of civilization.  So, why are there sales and income taxes on commerce?   The American Revolution removed King George III from power over the American people living south of Canada, thereby, relieving them of all taxation upon their unalienable rights.  Immediately, American politicians began plotting a return to the status quo ante bellum.  By the time the Constitution of September 17, 1787 was ratified, tyrannical government was back and taxation was returning to what it had been under King George III.

Today, taxation is much worse than what it was under King George III thanks to George Washington and the Federalists.  Founding Father George led in the creation of a federal government of federal States consisting of governments with law making power over 1. the lands still owned by the Confederacy, the United States of America and 2. everyone who believed they still lived and worked in such territory.  The result was a country founded by George Washington in which Congress and the State legislatures can enact any government scheme labeled a tax.  Section 101 of Title 4 of the United States Code is a direct result of the oral oath George Washington took and the written oath or affirmation he didn’t subscribe:

Every member of a State legislature, and every executive and judicial officer of a State, shall, before he proceeds to execute    the duties of his office, take an oath in the following form, to wit: “I, A B, do solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States.”

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 related to and applied only to the territory still owned and subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America.  The original thirteen States of the first Union, the United States of America, confirmed by their ratification of that Constitution that the United States of America would exercise the same power to lands it acquired post ratification in the original thirteen States.   And, as to all lands within and without the States of the United States of America, owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America. those territories were also within the United States, the Union called the United States, hence, the “Constitution of the United States.”

The persons in the States and territories, the United States, of  the United States of America were made indirectly subject to sales and income taxes defined in Section 110 of  Title 4 of  the United States Code:

Sec. 110. Same; definitions

As used in sections 105-109 of this title -   (a) The term “person” shall have the meaning assigned to it in section 3797 of title 26.

(b) The term “sales or use tax” means any tax levied on, with respect to, or measured by, sales, receipts from sales, purchases,    storage, or use of tangible personal property, except a tax with respect to which the provisions of section 104 of this title are applicable.

(c) The term “income tax” means any tax levied on, with respect to, or measured by, net income, gross income, or gross receipts.

(d) The term “State” includes any Territory or possession of the United States.

(e) The term “Federal area” means any lands or premises held or acquired by or for the use of the United States or any department, establishment, or agency, of the United States; and any Federal area, or any part thereof, which is located within the exterior boundaries of any State, shall be deemed to be a Federal area located within such State.


A sales tax is simply an income tax imposed on the net income, gross income or gross receipts of a person retailing goods or services within the United States, the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America.   The United States of America can impose a sales tax within the United States, because the United States is the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America.   An income tax on all income earned or generated within the United States, if not within the legislative power of the United States of America it is certainly within the proprietary power of the Confederacy, the United States of America.

Written law in general and the law of taxation in particular have been made complex so government can control more and collect much more taxes.   I have made both simpler by tracing these subjects back to their roots in the Organic Laws of the United States of America.  To get a complete set of the four Organic Laws of the United States of America, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com .  To find out how you can start a first class legal education for $50, tell me you want to become a law Student.

A complaint, not a presentment or indictment brought by a federal grand jury, alleges upon information and belief the commission of two criminal acts by this defendant.  The complaint alleges that these acts took place “on or about the date(s) of April 15. 2013 in the county of Suffolk in the District of Massachusetts.”

Readers familiar with Chapter 5 of Title 28 of the United States Code know that the District of Massachusetts is not the entirety of Massachusetts.  The District of Massachusetts is comprised of only the federal territory within the exterior borders of Massachusetts and the county of Suffolk is only the federal territory within the exterior borders of Suffolk County, according to Section 2 of Title 1 of the United States Code.

Neither the Fifth Amendment:

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation,

nor the Sixth Amendment:

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence,

apply, because only the States are bound by the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  The United States of America, the Confederacy established by the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 is the interested government party not the people of Massachusetts or the people of the United States of America.

How are such laws possible when there is this Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States:  “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

The State of Connecticut is not a ‘free State” and the Constitution which was ratified by the States has not been adopted by the officers thought to be of the three branches of government.  The State of Connecticut is one of the thirteen States expressly identified as “the several States which may be included within this Union” in Article I, Section 2, Clause 3.  That Union is the Union of States of the United States, which will include the States of the Northwest Territory, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota.   These States are comprised of a government devised by the Confederacy for the purposes of  the Confederacy  and the territory in those States is to be purchased pursuant to Article I, Section 8, Clause 17, or is already owned by or otherwise subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America.

The above two paragraphs are part of a Post I submitted to all my Advanced, Basic and prospective Students in order to obtain their comments.  The responses I received were predictable—the Advanced Students understand the subject best and the Basic Students not as well. All the responses I got indicate there can be no doubt that the Organic Laws of  the United States of America are the basis of  all written laws in the United States of America.

The Advanced Students are experienced and motivated to learn a rather simple though relatively unknown truth—free people are not subject to written laws.  Free people are those folks with the unalienable rights mentioned in the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 and unalienable rights are unalienable because they are self-evident they need no proof.  Unwritten laws need no proof.

Written laws are the laws of governments which my Students are learning to decipher. We have broken the United States Code as written law limited to the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America. Once a Student successfully completes my, “Basic Course in Law and Government,” upon that Student’s assent he or she becomes an Advanced Student.  If you would like to get started on a lifetime of legal learning, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

States incorporate cities as commercial enterprises with municipal purposes using the same power with which they charter purely commercial enterprises.  Where is this power to create commercial enterprises found?

We must look to the Organic Laws of the United States of America for the origin of all delegations of power from the American people, and when we look there we find the people of the States have delegated all they are capable of delegating in the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.

The free inhabitants of the United States of America are not only free to exercise their unalienable rights they must do so to remain free.  In short, the people of the United States of America have the unalienable right to govern themselves as individuals, but that right does not extend to others.  No majority of any size has the right to govern by force.

Majority rule has been imposed by the States in the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America acting as the Confederacy pursuant to the authority of the Articles of Confederation.   However, that majority rule is subject to the limitations imposed by the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution which resulted when nine States ratified the Constitution of September 17, 1787.

The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States reserves to the States or to the people the power to incorporate cities, however, that power is limited to the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America, as expressed in the Constitution of the United States.

The key to putting any city in its federal place lies in learning the Organic Laws of the United States of America.  I offer the only Internet law course on that subject.  To learn how you can try out my $500 Basic Course in Law and Government for $50 contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

The thirteen American States declared their separation and independence from King George III in the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776.

The first Union of the newly declared free and independent States, the Confederacy, was created when Maryland on March 1, 1781 became the thirteenth State to ratify the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777.

A temporary second Union of dependent States comprising the Northwest Territory was created by the United States in Congress assembled when it enacted the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.  That Union was made permanent by the Constitution of September 17, 1787 on June 21, 1788, when New Hampshire became the ninth State to ratify the Constitution of September 17, 1787.

According to Article VII of the Constitution of September 17, 1787, “The Ratification of the Conventions of nine States, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same.”   The ratification by the ninth State occurred on June 21, 1788, so that is the date of the birth of the United States, the territory of  the Union owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America.

The current President of the United States, Barack Hussein Obama, took this oral oath on January 20, 2013: ““I, Barack Hussein Obama , do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” “So help me God.”   That oath made President of the United States Obama the employee of  the entity with the exclusive legislative power over and possessory interest in the United States.

Ratification of  the Constitution of September 17, 1787 by the States bound those States to that Constitution, however, the failure of any President or member of  Congress to be bound by an Article VI oath or affirmation “to support this Constitution” reduced the United States to a corporation wholly owned by the United States of America

Only my Students know how easy it would be to impeach Barack Hussein Obama, if the impeachment is limited to the office of President of the United States.  The only condition imposed by the Constitution of the United States on such an impeachment is found in Article I Section 3 Clause 6: “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside:  And no Person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.”

Why are there no other constitutional conditions placed on the impeachment of the President of the United States?  The office of President of the United States is the highest employee in the federal government, who like the chief executive officer of a corporation, must be fired according to certain written rules.   The President of the United States of America, the head of State of the United States of America, according to the Constitution of the United States, may only be impeached pursuant to Article II Section 4: “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors.”     Not only does the Constitution provide for the easy impeachment of the President of the United States it is proof the two offices were intended to be separate.

My new Students, who successfully complete my “Basic Course in Law and Government” and who want to see an immediate improvement to all governments in the United States of America, may obtain my letter to members of Congress which explains the benefits of an impeachment of the President of the United States.

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 simple answer is the Constitution of the United States is not the written Constitution dated September 17, 1787. Remember all American Presidents take an oral oath to attain the Office of President of the United States and none at all to be President of the United States of America.

We can be fairly certain George Washington took this oath, but there is no legal proof that he did: “I, George Washington, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” “So help me God.”      Similarly, the current President took the same oath: “I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” “So help me God,” with the same result—the written Constitution can’t be enforced against a person who has not agreed in writing to be bound by it.  It can be proved with certainty President Barack Hussein Obama took the oral oath of Office of President of the United States prescribed by the Constitution of September 17, 1787, but taking that oral oath does not bind anyone to a written document such as the Constitution of September 17, 1787.

The power of the President of the United States is not derived from the Constitution of September 17, 1787 it is derived from the legislative power of the Congress of the United States.  The President of the United States’ source of power is a government secret, because, if discovered all government power would be limited to the territory owned by or subject to the exclusive legislative power of the United States of America. Disclosing such government secrets is routine at www.edrivera.com , however, to fully understand the depth of deceit Washington, D.C. is mired in requires a short course in elementary constitutional law, my “Basic Course in Law and Government,” which you can sample for $50.   To get the Organic Laws of the United States of America and to learn how to take the Course on a trial basis, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com
