Dr. Rivera:

 

I was browsing through my documents and saw the attached testimonial that I wrote for Chris Hansen.  This relates to your book “What Happened to Justice”.

 I am suggesting you send this to your students on my behalf who may not have yet purchased your book.  A serious student of this subject should not be without this valuable resource.  It complements the insightful teachings on the Organic laws of the United States you are teaching us today.

 Sincerely,

 Jerry

 

WHAT A SHOCK!!!

Testimonial Confession of a CPA

 

I am a CPA, by profession, and have practiced for over 40 years; heavy in taxes in addition to traditional accounting services.  I sold a piece of real of real estate a couple of years ago and was facing a big capital gains tax.  I went to the web searching for ideas to minimize the tax bite.  I don’t remember the search terms I used, but, I stumbled into a web site pitching the idea that citizens of the 50 Union States, I’m paraphrasing, are not liable for Subtitle A income taxes.  I downloaded every treatise on the site and read everything I could.  I couldn’t believe what I was reading.  WHAT A SHOCK!!!

My feelings went from chagrin to enragement.  Chagrin at not knowing the truth for all those years and enraged at not having been told about it in tax courses in college, nor in tax seminars year after year.  To save time researching the code, seldom looking at the regulations (too wordy, I’m busy), we would refer to instructions on the IRS forms or read IRS Publications, occasionally reading Revenue Rulings (classic “the fox guarding the hen-house”).  All this time reading municipal law pertaining to the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories, and not even questioning the applicability of these laws to our clients.

The transition from darkness to enlightenment was an exhilarating experience. I have learned more law:  constitutional, statutory, treasury regulations, case law, principles of legislation, and more, in the past year and a half, than I learned in the previous 40 years.  Sure, I had a reasonable and broad experience with the “code”, but, I never realized it didn’t apply to me or my clients.

The most satisfying part of the entire experience was meeting either in person or over the phone, many of the activist researchers in what is referred as the tax honesty movement. I have been overwhelmed at the quality of research conducted, reduced to writing and made available to others on their websites.  There are, necessarily, some disagreements among the leadership in doctrinal theories or interpretation of the law. But, there is also sufficient agreement among the serious and qualified researchers to guide the sovereign state citizens in doing their own corroborating research and reaching a proper conclusion as to any obligation each would have or not have under the federal income tax laws.

 

I am grateful to all the folks whose websites provided me with a wealth of information which together with my own independent research, was sufficient for me to reach my own conclusion as to whether or not I am a “taxpayer.”  Only the individual after doing his or her own corroborating research can make that decision. 

One final comment:  I became convinced that I am not a “taxpayer”.  There was one piece of the puzzle that was still missing for me.  I was concerned about how to act or react if summoned to appear before one of the United States District Courts.  Why were citizens who were not subject to the law in the first place, tried, convicted and sent to jail?  It was a question of jurisdiction and under what Article of the constitution the court was established.  I recently learned about the research of Dr. Eduardo M. Rivera, an attorney in California.  Dr. Rivera has done extensive research in Title 28 USC, which established the judicial court system of the United States. The voluminous documents of research material beginning with the Constitution and the Judiciary Act of 1789, proved the district courts were territorial, having been established under Article IV, of the constitution and not under Article III, as represented.  This caused a dilemma for the uninformed citizen on how to challenge the system.  Dr. Rivera has teamed with Chris Hansen of SEDM.org to present and explain the conclusions of their research together with all the evidence gathered and make it available in electronic book form.  You can learn the basics of the issues involved by visiting Dr. Rivera’s website:  http://www.edrivera.com.  The complete works of the research project including the book, What Happened To Justice? together with the supporting evidence books are available now at: http://sedm.org.  These works are the crown jewel, concluding my research in this field.  The book with the evidence is the most prolific and thorough effort on a subject I have experienced to date.  My questions about the District Court have been answered.

The press conference held tonight by President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama was nothing more than a dog and pony show.

A dog and pony show is elaborately staged parody of a real theatrical performance put on to convince an audience that what they are seeing is the real deal. 

The President of the United States is an employee of Congress.  Without Barack Obama Congress would be unable to collect taxes.  Congress needs a President of the United States to provide the illusion that the United States Government is real outside the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.

Dr. Eduardo M. Rivera 

 

There are no restrictions on who can be President of the United States.  There is no minimum age requirement.  There is citizenship requirement and there is no residency requirement.  The only requirement for the Office of President of the United States is that you be appointed by the person elected to the Office of President.

Yes, words are important even the words in a title are important, because they alert you to the most important words¾those in an English sentence.  The qualifications for the Office of President are found in one English sentence found in Article II Section 1 Clause 5 of the Constitution:

No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.    

George Washington never swore to be bound by oath “to support this Constitution,” because he was elected too soon to meet the “fourteen Years a Resident within the United States” requirement.  Washington established the tradition all persons elected to the Office of President have followed¾they appoint themselves President of the United States.

The person elected to the Office of President can appoint himself to the Office of President of the United States, because that Office is the Office of an employee without executive power.  The only constitutional governmental executive power is vested in a President of the United States of America.  Article II Section 1 Clause 1 of the Constitution: “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.”

Adding the words “of America” to the Office of President of the United States distinguishes an Office of a high level employee from an Office of actual government power.  The government of the United States of America, however, is not a government of people¾it is a government of states.  The Office of President of the United States is in charge of administering the territory and other property belonging to the United States of America.  The people who mistakenly throw themselves into the “We the People of the United States” mix get “administered” just like territory and other property belonging to the United States of America.

The 2008 Presidential Election proved that the person elected to the Office of President does not have to meet any of the qualifications required for the Office of President to be President of the United States.  There are substantial reasons why neither John McCain nor Barack Hussein Obama were eligible to the Office of President, but they were nonetheless nominated by their respective political parties.  Numerous unsuccessful lawsuits have been brought to prove Barack Obama has not shown himself qualified to the Office of President.  Barack Hussein Obama needs to meet no qualifications to be President of the United States or President of the United States of America, because everyone is technically eligible to those two Offices. 

 Black’s Law Dictionary 4th Ed. defines “eligible” as, “Fit to be chosen.  Capable of serving, legally qualified to serve.  Capable of being chosen, as a candidate for office.  Also, capable of holding office.”  The 44 persons who have been President of the United States is proof enough that anyone can be “eligible” to be President.  All that it takes to be President of the United States and President of the United States of America is being elected to the Office of President and all it takes to do that is plenty of Federal Reserve Notes.   Don’t count Arnold out.

The legislative Powers granted to one of the Congresses by the States that ratify “this Constitution” are the same ones the United States of America possesses by virtue of right of ownership.  

Proprietary is an adjective defined in Black’s Law Dictionary 4th Ed. as, “Belonging to ownership; belonging or pertaining to a proprietor; relating to a certain owner or proprietor.”

Proprietary governments is a term used by Blackstone.  Black’s Law Dictionary 4th Ed. explains that, “This expression is used by Blackstone to denote governments granted out by the crown to individuals, in the nature of feudatory principalities, with inferior regalities and subordinate powers of legislation such as formerly belonged to the owners of counties palatine. 1 Bl.Comm. 108.”

The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 makes the States of that territory, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota, a permanent part of the United States of America, as States of the United States, but not States of the United States of America.  The legislative power exercised by Congress over these territorial States until their admission into the United States of America as States is proprietary.  Similarly, that proprietary legislative power continues with respect to all the territory that remains under the ownership and ceded jurisdiction of the United States of America.

The “United States” is the name given to the territory over which the Congress of the United States has legislative power.  Congress obtains that legislative power through its legal right of possession, because it has the exclusive right to that territory as property.

There are two Senates, but there is only one House of Representatives.  Only citizens of the United States can vote for Representatives.

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons. The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct.   Constitution, Article I Section 2 Clause 2

“This Union” does not refer to the perpetual Union created by the Articles of Confederation it refers to the Union first established by the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787, when the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota were, by Article 4, forever made a part of the Confederacy of the United States of America.

The real and hidden purpose of the census was to determine the populations of the States waiting to be admitted into the perpetual Union of the United States of America, according to the requirements set out in the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.  Article 4 of that Ordinance made the inhabitants and settlers of the territory subject to taxation to pay a part of the federal debt. 

The only way to be set free of a thieving Congress of the United States is to know the law and to know it better than any Justice, judge, Representative, Senator or President of the United States.

American lawyers and that includes judges have no idea of how the Organic Laws of the United States of America determines the limitations on government and the written law. 

If the Organic Laws were better known, America would have a true libertarian government without the necessity of putting the issue to a vote.  In fact, government in America was libertarian until George Washington took the oath to be President of the United States on April 30, 1789.  From that to the present, America has been ruled by a government that should be limited to the territory owned and ceded to the United States of America.  Americans could be free today, if they only knew the difference between the United States created by the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and the United States of America created by the Articles of Confederation.     

Instead of having freedom, Americans are ruled by Nancy Pelosi and renegade  representative government. This sad state of affairs was made possible by Washington, a lot of lawyers and the finagling Founding Fathers.   

The British colonies grew into the United States of America owing to the neglect of their isolated locale and the British monarch’s preoccupation with other matters.   When the Representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled publish and declare these United Colonies to be FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES, they did so in the Declaration of Independence, the first of the fundamental laws of the United States of America.  The careful reader or at least the one who does a word seach of the Declaration of Independence will find a reference to an unwritten Constitution.

Black’s Law Dictionary 4th Ed. defines organic law as, “The fundamental law, or constitution of a state or nation, written or unwritten; that law or system of laws or principles which defines and establishes the organization of its government.”

The Declaration of Independence was the beginning of the end of the British monarchy in the thirteen colonies.  This Organic Law declared the United States of America to be free and independent, but it would take a war to make it official.

While the War of the American Revoluntion was being waged the second Organic Law was being circulated for ratification by all the thirteen states.  The Articles of Confederation were fully ratified by all thirteen states when Maryland ratified on March 1, 1781.

The British lost the War and concluded a peace in the Treaty of  Paris of 1783 in which George III, his Britannic Majesty acknowledged that each of the thirteen United States were free,  sovereign and independent.  The British lost their claim to the American  wilderness and the need for the administration of this vast tract of land necessitated the third Organic Law, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.  An ordinance is local law and though the Articles of Confederation granted no legislative power on the United States, in Congress assembled Congress had proprietary power indistinguishable from legislative power.

The last Organic Law of the United States of America is the document known as the Constitution, although the Articles of Confederation acted as the Constitution for the United States of America.  The Constitution of the United States, as it has come to be known is the most devious product of the legal profession. 

The Constitution is a boon to government and lawyers because it is a source of endless conflict.  There was little to cause conflict in the government above the State level because the United States, in Congress assembled had no power to tax or make laws. George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and the rest of the Founding Fathers would soon create a litigator’s paradise by carrying out the greatest bloodless government takeover in the history of the world. 

The lawyers of that time led by Alexander Hamilton began to circulate rumors that the Constitutional Convention that began meeting in secret in Philadelphia on May 25,1787 would create a Constitution that would replace the Articles of Confederation.  Hamilton was one of the delegates from the State of New York and was the only one that remained after the other two resigned.  Hamilton along with George Washington and his cronies continued to feed the lie to the American public that the Constitution of September 17, 1787 replaced the Articles of Confederation.

Alexander Hamilton, George Washington and the rest of the Founding Fathers were so convincing no lawyer today believes the Articles of Confederation is a viable Organic Law.  American children today are taught the Constitution of September 17, 1787 replaced the Articles of Confederation.  This is what kids are taught without objection on the Internet:

http://www.congressforkids.net/Independence_articles.htm

The Continental Congress wrote the Articles of Confederation during the Revolutionary War. The articles were written to give the colonies some sense of a unified government. Once the thirteen colonies became the thirteen states, however, each one began to act alone in its own best interest. A new governing document was needed in order for these new states to act together, to become a nation.

 

The Articles of Confederation became effective on March 1, 1781, after all thirteen states had ratified them. The Articles made the states and legislature supreme. There was no executive branch. Judicial functions were very limited.

The resulting government was weak. Efforts to make it stronger failed. A convention called in May 1787 to re-write the Articles decided to draft an entirely new Constitution.

The present disreputable condition of the legal profession and unconscienable state of judicial system in America can be laid directly to the deception of Hamilton, Washington and the Founding Fathers.

The only proof that can be offered to support the claim that the Articles of Confederation have been repealed is the original rumor initiated by Alexander Hamilton.  No lawyer has yet shown how the perpetual Union created by Articles of Confederation could be repealed or replaced by the nine States that were necessary, according to Article VII of this Constitution, to ratify this Constitution. 

The Articles of Confederation, which were operative only after it had been ratified by all thirteen states, is without question the Constitution for the United States of America.  No lawyer knows how it would be possible to maintain the United States of America, if  the Articles of Confederation were repealed.

No lawyer has been able to demonstrate how any law especially Organic Laws could be repealed without specifically using the clear language  of repeal or rescission.  The last sentence of the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 clearly repeals the prior Ordinance of April 23, 1784.     

Americans so trust George Washington and the Founding Fathers that no one  suspected these men to be the scoundrels they are.  These men have been above suspicion for so long no one has questioned soundness of the proposition that one Organic Law can re replaced by another.

George Washington is no hero.  He and others in the Constitutional Convention hatched a very successful plot to take over a government that was headed for local control by the American people.  The sooner that truth is realized the sooner the serious problem of correcting the many errors that have been made, because the fundamental laws upon which government and government law have been misconceived by incompetent lawyers. 

What pass for the greatest lawyers of our time are taught the same law that children are being taught.  The Constitution of September 17, 1787 did not repeal or replace the Articles of Confederation.  You can easily become a legal genius just by trying to prove me wrong.  Do your own research.  Try to prove with evidence the demise of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.  These laws tell the full story and in that telling you are set free.

The Eighteenth Amendment was ratified January 16, 1919. 

Section 1. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States and all territory subject to the jurisdiction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited.

Section 2. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by the legislatures of the several States as provided in the Constitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.

Nine states of the perpetual Union, the United States of America, ratified “this Constitution” “sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the States so ratifying the Same.”  Before the rest of the states of the United States of America could ratify “this Constitution,” George Washington was elected to the Office of President and on April 30, 1789 took an oath to be President of the United States, thereby, establishing the precedent that has prevented the “Adoption of this Constitution.”

“The Constitution” is the Constitution of the United States and the United States is the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.

Commercial alcoholic beverages are being prohibited by the people of the United States, the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  The people are specifically consenting to being governed by the Congress and State legislatures.     

All the Amendments to the Constitution including the first ten amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, are limited to the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.

Dr. Eduardo M. Rivera

The third Organic Law, the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 created the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota.  These same States became the States of the new more perfect Union formed by the Constitution of September 17, 1787, when the ninth State, New Hampshire ratified “this Constitution.”

New Hampshire was already a state of the perpetual Union called the United States of America, so what part of New Hampshire could become the United States?  The part of New Hampshire that would become the United States would be any part of New Hampshire owned by and ceded to the United States of America.

Why is illegal immigration into the United States such a problem?  There is actually very little, if any immigration into the United States.  There are few jobs in the United States except for Washington, D. C.

In the old days smart young men didn’t go to law school to become lawyers, they learned to read the law.  You don’t have to be smart, young or a male to become a legal genius.  I can teach you to read the law that’s not being read in Washington, D. C.  

Dr. Eduardo M. Rivera    

The Office of President of the United States is a job, so Barack Obama has no responsibility for fixing anything.  The Office of President of the United States has no definite term or stated power and the President of the United States of America is limited to the power in the Articles of Confederation.

Article II Section 1 Clause 1 of the Constitution makes the Office of President of the United States of America the one with a definite term of Office and stated powers: “The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.”   

Barack Obama will continue to have a mess in Washington, D. C.  as long as he confuses the two Offices he holds.  Don’t you be confused.

Barack Hussein Obama is a Harvard Law School educated lawyer, editor of the Harvard Law Review and a Constitutional scholar.  I can’t make you a President, but I can give you a better legal education than the one the President of the United States or the President of the United States of America got.  Ask for the details at edrivera@edrivera.com

The controversy over gay marriage in California is a clash of the Unions.  The holy Union of marriage was conceived by God as the first Union.  All other unions are conceived by men to achieve various ends. 

The first Union recognized in the New World between the colonists of England was the English common law marriage between man and wife.  This Union required no license from any form of government.  This Union between man and wife made the couple one and the man was the one.

The second Union in America was the perpetual Union of the thirteen states joined to form the Confederacy, under the Articles of Confederation, known as the United States of America.  The Confederacy was famous for having no power to impose direct taxation on the Confederate States and no authority to create legislation to impose indirect taxation on anyone or anything.  And as there were no laws there was no need for any courts.

The Congress of the United States of America then known as the United States, in Congress assembled then initiated the Union of the United States by creating States with very sparse populations, the States of the Northwest Territory, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota.  These States were permanently united with the Confederacy known as the United States of America and were thereafter known as the United States in the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  The United States is, today, the territory within the States of the second Union and perpetual Union known as the United States of America. 

There is a movement to make Washington, D. C.  a part of the third Union by giving it a voting Representative.  Like the old States of the Northwest Territory, Washington, D. C.  has a non-voting Representative in Congress. Washington, D. C. would not be a part of the second Union, the United States of America, because it would not have two Senators.   An easy way to keep track of the third Union, the United States, is to collect the State quarters you are given in change.  This year the rest of the United States will come out in coin.  Save them to remind yourself that the United States is the federal territory within each state of the United States of America and Washington, D. C., Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, Guam, and America Samoa.              

The United States is the third Union in America.  The United States consists of that territory owned by and ceded to the perpetual Union of the United States of America.  The United States Government consists of a President of the United States and a Congress of the United States, which enacts legislation for the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America. 

The third Union in America, the United States cannot make laws for the inhabitants of the United States, who are not an employment oath taking part of the government, so it can only define the words used to make law for government.  The Union of marriage is defined in Title 1 United States Code Section 7:

In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, or of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrative bureaus and agencies of the United States, the word “marriage” means only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife, and the word “spouse” refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.

Article 3 Section 1 of the State of California Constitution confirms that the State of California consists of territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America:

“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 final clash of the Unions may be over gay marriage.  The written law in the State of California only applies in the federal territory in California, where the Constitution of the United States is the supreme law. 

Let us pray that the final clash of the Unions will limit government and all its ungodly unions to federal territory.

Black’s Law Dictionary 4th Ed. defines jurisdiction like this:  “The word is a term of large and comprehensive import, and embraces every kind of judicial action.”

The key word is “judicial.”  When George Washington took the only employment oath in “this Constitution,” the only thing judicial about those persons he later picked to fill “judicial” roles is their Black Robes.   Anyone can claim to be a judge who has successfully completed law school, passed a bar examination and has paid bar dues or fees for a number of years.  The Black Robe is just a costume. 

The so-called “judicial” officers of the U.S. Supreme Court and inferior federal courts were in fact part of Washington’s military administration of the territory and property belonging to the United States of America.    

The Black Robes at the State level are limited to the same federal territory in the State.  The federal government claims exclusive legislative authority in the enumerated powers of Article I Section 8 of the Constitution, so the State government claims legislative power in the remainder of the “territorial” domain.  The entire State government amounts to a bureaucracy elected by the U.S. voters within the State.   

An employee cannot be paid to be “judicial” in any sense that can further any real justice.  After George Washington became President of the United States, the Congress of the United States enacted in the Judiciary Act of 1789 a justice system for federal territory administered by employees appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate of the United States of America. 

Black’s Law Dictionary 4th Ed. defines “President” as,

“One placed in authority over others; a chief officer; a presiding or managing officer; a governor, ruler, or director.  The chairman, moderator, or presiding officer of a legislative or deliberative body, appointed to keep order, manage the proceedings, and govern the administrative details of their business.”

The three Offices of president: Office of President of the United States, Office of President of the United States of America and the Office of President share some, but not all the qualifications in the preceding definition. 

On February 4, 1789 Washington was elected to the Office of President, however, because he did not meet the residency requirement for that Office he took the oath of Office of President of the United States on April 30, 1789.  All 43 Presidents that have followed George Washington have taken the same oath of Office of President of the United States.

By becoming President of the United States instead of taking the Article VI oath “to support this Constitution,” George Washington prevented the establishment of a true judicial system for the United States of America under this Constitution. 

 This Constitution may only be “Adopted” by a person who is eligible for and takes the proper oath to the Office of President, which is located in Article VI not Article II.  Only three oaths are provided in this Constitution: an oath for the Senators when they sit in impeachment; an employment oath for the President of the United States and the Article VI oath, which has never been taken by anyone at all.

You cannot possibly win, procedurally, against the federal government, arguing that it does not have jurisdiction, unless you specifically identify its lack of territorial jurisdiction.  The only relevant jurisdiction in the context of the history of the United States is territorial jurisdiction.  The United States as a territory are first distinguished as States in the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and then referred to as the United States in the Constitution of September 17, 1787, which is ratified by the States but is never adopted.  

The President of the United States is distinguished from the President of the United States of America on the basis of territorial jurisdiction.   The Articles of Confederation does not involve a transfer of territory, so in this Constitution the President of the United States of America has executive power, but no place or territory in which it can be exercised.  The territory of the President of the United States is the United States, which can only be the States of the Northwest Territory made a permanent part of the United States of America by the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.  Bits and pieces of the States admitted to the United States of America make up the future United States.  

The States of the Northwest Territory, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota were the original territory and property belonging to the United States of America at the time this Constitution was being ratified by the original States of the United States of America.  Territory and property the size of the Northwest Territory could only be managed by the use of the military power provided by the Articles of Confederation and the newly ratified Constitution of September 17, 1787.
