America has a secret government because Americans lost faith in themselves and then mistakenly trusted George Washington, a proud Mason, who knew the fine art of keeping secrets.   Today is the 220th anniversary of the secret he took to his grave.  That secret is revealed here in greater public detail than ever before. 

The secret?  George Washington was never part of the government that was supposed to be established by the Constitution of September 17, 1787¾he became Chief Tax Collector and Federal Jailer for the first America Oligarchy.  After the first inauguration day, Americans didn’t know what hit them.   What was Washington doing collecting taxes and imprisoning those who thought they owed no taxes?  And what was Washington doing working for Congress after all Congress had the power to lay and collect taxes not the executive. 

On April 30, 1789, in New York, Washington nervously took the oral oath of Office in front of 10,000 people to officially become an employee of the government that was organized under the authority of the Articles of Confederation.  On that date, George Washington became the President of that huge bureaucracy called the United States Government.  By swearing to “preserve, protect and defend,” George Washington distinguished the “Constitution of the United States” from “this Constitution.”  From noon April 30, 1789 to the present “this Constitution” would cease to exist and will continue not to exist until properly adopted by a real President and a real Congress.  

Benjamin Franklin stated early on that the Constitutional Convention had sought to create a republic.  On April 30, 1789 George Washington initiated a Roman Republic complete with a Senate and he as Dictator.  The alleged creation of a republic made necessary the claim historians make that the Constitution of September 17, 1787 replaced the Articles of Confederation.  This substitution theory is just another lie started by Washington, Franklin and the other Founding Fathers.  

There are many Presidents in the Constitution of September 17, 1787 in the top three are the President of the United States of America, the President of the United States and the President that fills the Office of President.   That Constitution specifically provides for the election of the President of the United States of America by Presidential Electors, now known as the Electoral College, chosen by the States.  Once the President of the United States of America is elected he can take the Article VI oath of Office “to support this Constitution” and he will be both President of the United States of America under the Articles of Confederation and the President in the Article II Section 1 Clause 5 Office of President.   This was the plan understood by those delegates to the Constitutional Convention who were not co-conspirators with George Washington.  The Office of President has never been filled by an elected President, which has prevented the adoption of the Constitution of September 17, 1787.

George Washington lied and the new government died.  The election of George Washington on February 4, 1789 to the Office of President of the United States of America was planned, so that he would not qualify as President in the Office of President, which required a person to be a resident within the United States for at least 14 years.  This requirement could not be met until after July 4, 1790, since time is counted from July 4, 1776.  Washington had an obligation to tell the truth about the Office that he was taking and, of course, he refused to tell the truth.  Washington was nervous while taking this oath, because he knew he was lying:  “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) 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.” 

Washington knew the Office of President of the United States was as an employee of the Confederacy under the Articles of Confederation, because he was the President of the Constitutional Convention that met in secret from May to September in 1787 to write a new Constitution.  The secret plan of the Constitutional Convention insiders was to prepare a Constitution within a Constitution whose purpose was to make certain amendments to the first Constitution, the Articles of Confederation.  As a dedicated Mason, George Washington was able to keep secret, from the Constitutional Convention delegates not privy to his plan, the exact details of how he was to take over the government.  So skilled at secrecy, trickery and deceit, the powers of the occult, Washington, Alexander Hamilton and just a few others may have been the only conspirators.   

Local politicians quickly realized that the American people would really rule, if enough of the common men would taxes did require consent as the Declaration of Independence stated and no government could make laws for the people to obey.  Back then as today, the people quickly began to follow a leader¾George Washington for President.

The President of the United States of America is vested with the executive power in Article II Section 1 Clause 1 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787.  Although that Constitution vests the President of the United States of America with “The executive power,” it is the executive power of the first Constitution, the Articles of Confederation, that is vested.  The executive power under the Constitution of September 17, 1787 is required to be bound by an Article VI oath “to support this Constitution.”  

As the Articles of Confederation forms a Confederacy of States that have retained their “sovereignty, freedom and independence, and every power, jurisdiction and right” it is not possible for the President of the United States of America to take an oath of Office, so no oaths are required under the Articles of Confederation.  Article VI of the Constitution of September 17, 1787 makes the taking of an oath mandatory:

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

The person who takes the oral oath of Office of President of the United States becomes an employee of the first government of the thirteen States, the Confederacy known as the United States of America.  An oral oath is not binding, because it cannot be evidence in a court of law.  The English Statute of Frauds requires certain contracts to be in writing such as employment contracts for service longer than a year.  

The Constitution of September 17, 1787 does not specify that the oath of Office of President of the United States shall be binding as Article VI does and nowhere in the Constitution are qualifications or a term of office for the Office of President of the United States set out.

The Declaration of Independence is the most highly esteemed American document though, technically, not law in the positive sense.  The effect of the Declaration of Independence, for the common man, was to eliminate an ancient form of government¾the British monarchy.  So anxious were the colonists to rid themselves of so-called royalty that they thought little of what the consequences of freedom might really be like.  Removal of the king who ruled by a claim of divine right ended this source of earthly government power.  George Washington a master of the occult found a source of government power in the secret government.

In their own haste to get rid of the British monarch, American politicos established the Declaration of Independence and Articles of Confederation as the centerpieces of American government.  Those two documents made it almost impossible to establish the modern fascism patterned after that of the ancient Roman Republic we have today.  That the so-called Founding Fathers did so is a tribute to their intellects and ingenuity even if it greatly disparages their integrity.

From now forward, my students and I will be teaching local government officials how government went wrong and how the people at the grass roots level can start fixing long broken government.  You can try to fix it on your own, but it is easier when your teacher is the world’s greatest legal mind.  If you have read this far, you too can qualify to be the next world’s greatest legal mind.  You won’t find much competition from present day attorneys and judges, but you can’t get this kind of legal education anywhere else.  Enroll today by contacting me at edrivera@edrivera.com

On April 3, 2009, the State of Iowa Supreme Court in a unanimous ruling, upheld an August 2007 decision by Polk County District Court Judge Robert Hanson, who had decided that a State of Iowa revenue law limiting marriage only to unions between a man and a woman denied the constitutional right to the equal protection of the laws to same sex couples, who wanted to be married. 

Gay couples pay income and other taxes to the State of Iowa and they don’t have the privilege of paying the marriage license tax, so Judge Hanson decided it just wasn’t fair that a gay couple not have the right to pay another tax for the privilege of doing what they were already doing without the license.

Marriage hasn’t always been a privilege.  Making privileges out of the rights of Americans has been the steady work of American politicians since George Washington usurped power over the American people.  Regular readers of these posts can track the birth of the nanny State back to April 30, 1789, the date George Washington took the oath of Office of President of the United States.

The State of Iowa now joins the State of Connecticut and the State of Massachusetts as purveyors of gay marriage licenses to all couples so they can freely commit what were once classified as crimes against nature.  The State of Iowa can now be accurately classified as the red light district of the Midwest.  State government is near bottom. 

Black’s Law Dictionary 4th Ed. defines “buggery” as “A carnal copulation against nature; a man or a woman with a brute beast, a man with a man or man unnaturally with a woman.”  The carnal copulations of women with women are not reported, we brutes are not privy to such connections, but they must, of course, exist.  The State of Iowa gay marriage license legalizes all of it, provided it is done in the State of Iowa.

You may, of course, become a student of law and government regardless of your sexual orientation or disorientation.  To enroll, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

Representatives for and direct taxes on the settlers and inhabitants of the federal district known as the Northwest Territory are what are to be apportioned among the several States of the new Union to be called the United States.

Representation and direct taxation have been the ruin of this country ever since George Washington took an oral oath to be Congresses tax collector.

There were, in merry old England, property taxes assessed according to the number of windows in a house.  This window tax was brought to America, where it served, as in England, as a property tax.  There was also a general excise tax on trades and professions called a “faculty tax.”  These taxes were all lawful because the British Empire was ruled by the authority of a British monarch.  The British Parliament has the legislative power of a king. 

Before the Declaration of Independence, the source of written law in America was, also, the British monarchy.  After the Declaration of Independence and actual independence, the Americans in the thirteen original states, who had participated in British government and taxation began to think that government of the people had an inherent right to make laws for the people and to impose taxes on the people to pay for government.  Ordinary Americans especially the Revolutionary War veterans saw no real basis for more laws and more taxation and Shays Rebellion was the result.  An American had every right to make the most strenuous laws for himself, but he had no right or power to make them for others and call them laws.

The Declaration of Independence condemned the imposition of taxes without consent and the recognition of unalienable rights made legislative power over the American people impossible.

Article I Section 2 Clause 3 of the Constitution made provision for representation and direct taxation to be “apportioned among the several State which may be included within this Union.”  The Union referred to was the new Union of States of the Northwest Territory, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota.

With the passage of time, the temporary government that was first formed by the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 and made more permanent by the Constitution of September 17, 1787, would be forgotten and the real and truly perpetual Union, the United States of America, would be erroneously replaced with the temporary Constitution of the United States.

My advanced students will be taught how the newly freed Americans were duped to submit to property taxation and how the property tax deception continues to the present.  These students will also learn how to prove that all written can only apply to government and the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.

Every person who owns or who hopes to own real property should immediately contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com to enroll in my general law course, so they can take the advanced property taxation and statutory legislation course.

Government in America has been continually growing in the kinds and numbers of citizens since the Declaration of Independence.  Under British monarchical rule, Americans were British subjects and citizens.  American citizens or inhabitants, under the Articles of Confederation, became citizens or remained inhabitants of the thirteen states acknowledged as “free, sovereign and independent,” by George III in the Treaty of Paris of 1783.  

The Articles of Confederation created a first Constitution for the Confederacy of States called the United States of America.  The Articles of Confederation did not directly create another class of citizens, but in Article IV it assured inhabitants the privileges and immunities of citizens of the several States.

The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 was the second Constitution for the United States of America.  This Constitution established a temporary government for the Northwest Territory and the States that would be created from that district, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota.

The third Constitution is called the Constitution of the United States.  The States that ratify “this Constitution” are bound by Article VI “to support this Constitution,” however “this Constitution” is never adopted, because no person ever fills the Office of President.  The third Constitution is a bastardized version of the ratified “this Constitution,” and the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America that is also known as the Constitution of the United States.

The fourth and last Constitution is the one that emerges after the Civil War in the form of the Fourteenth Amendment.  The Amendment is a very abbreviated version of “this Constitution,” but all the essentials of a Constitution are contained in it. 

The Civil War spurred a reorganization of the Government of the United States along the lines of what it has become today.  The one critical factor remains that can never be changed¾territorial jurisdiction.

The territory of the United States will always be the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  To learn how territorial knowledge is the key to your freedom contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

The Constitution cannot be fully understood without making the Constitutional Convention of May 25, 1787 your own personal crime scene investigation.   It is not too late for real non-military justice. 

Patrick Henry, the patriot and brilliant orator of Virginia refused to attend the Constitutional Convention, because he smelled a rat.  Now that the whole country is experiencing the stench of a 222 year-old rotting corpse of an un-adopted constitution, we must all recognize and appreciate Patrick Henry’s superb olfactory sense along with his oratorical power.

The Constitutional Convention was the scene of the greatest crime in the world.  George Washington, the ring leader, stole your freedom, treasure and much more, but he had accomplices.

While less savvy angry Americans are preparing clever copy for the placards they will  wave at their July 4th Tea Party, you can close the case on the Constitutional Convention conspirators by signing up as a student of law and government.  There is still plenty of evidence of wrong doing to present to the triers of fact, so contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com to get started.

It doesn’t matter whether you call a federal court a United States district court, a District Court of the United States or any combination or capitalization of the four words that describe a district court in the United States.  The federal part of the court comes from the territorial composition of the districts and divisions of those district courts.  The United States of America is a Confederacy that came together on March 1, 1781.  When the British were defeated lands south of Canada eventually came under the ownership of the Confederacy of the United States of America. 

The Articles of Confederation did not involve the transfer of any state territory to the United States, in Congress assembled, but the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 did involve British territory now owned by the United States of America.  The Northwest Territory is federal because it was owned by the Confederacy of the United States of America.  While it would have been more accurate to refer to the Northwest Territory as “confederal,” it appears no one was interested in accuracy at that time.   

What’s in a name?  The Northwest Territory belonged to the United States of America and the United States in Congress assembled could call it whatever the delegates wanted and they could do with it everything that was set out in the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.  Between July 13th and September 17, 1787, the Northwest Territory became known as the United States.   When George Washington decided to be President of the United States, he knew that the United States was only federal territory. 

There is no justice in the United States, because the United States is not the place where one goes to get justice¾Justice isn’t US.  The United States is code for the district of land that constituted the Northwest Territory.  George Washington became a statutory Commander in Chief not a constitutional one.  

Federal districts are made up of the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 began with this paragraph: 

Be it ordained by the United States in Congress assembled, That the said territory, for the purposes of temporary government, be one district, subject, however, to be divided into two districts, as future circumstances may, in the opinion of Congress, make it expedient.

The States of the Northwest Territory, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota were the subjects of the “temporary government” referred to above, however, the lands in the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota retained by the United States of America continued to be federal and within the vast district of scattered territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.

Located within each state of the original Union formed by the Articles of Confederation is territory that is not subject to the English common law acquired by the authority of Article I Section 8 Clause 17, which territory constitutes the same kind of territory of the original federal district.

There is another district in Article I Section 8 Clause 17.  This district is called the “Seat of Government” and is distinguished from the Northwest Territory and similar territory by capitalization grammatical and geographic.  Washington, District of Columbia refers to what was proposed to be the capitol of a national government, but such a government never came to fruition for the failure of the “Adoption” of “this Constitution.”

 “This Constitution” was ratified by nine States on June 21, 1788, which meant that in nine State conventions the approval of “this Constitution” was confirmed by a ratification process.  Rhode Island, which sent no delegates to the Constitutional Convention, ratified “this Constitution” on May 29, 1790 months after George Washington was inaugurated President of the United States and the First Congress wrote a new oath to conform to the employee oath taken by Washington.

Today, the territorial composition of a federal district court is determined by a single sentence that no one recognizes as law: “Sections 81-131 of this chapter show the territorial composition of districts and divisions by counties as of January 1, 1945.”     Title1of the United States Code is called General Provisions and although it is very short it is very important.  Section 2 of Title 1 defines the word “county” by statute to be territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America. 

The so-called judicial districts of the United States, which can only be composed of territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America, are administered by the President of the United States using the proprietary power of the United States of America.  

No matter what you call a federal court its territorial jurisdiction is limited to federal territory, territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  Subject matter jurisdiction must arise within this territory.  The grand jurors that bring indictments must reside within the district for at least a year.  Trial jurors must also reside within the district for a year.  Federal district court judges with a few exceptions must reside within the district. 

Think the federal government is out of control?  Every county has a district attorney who prosecutes crimes in the county.  Can you guess what the territorial composition of a local county is?  Local District Attorneys simply do not know that the territorial composition of a local/State county is the same as a federal county¾federal territory.

The Money Masters series of videos on YouTube are very interesting, but the series lack the most important point made only on this site.  Fiat currency is produced pursuant to statutory authority, which in the case of Congress is limited to the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  This statutory authority to create a Federal Reserve and Federal Reserve Banking System with private banks arises from a proprietary right to administer the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.   

Nothing especially the money system will begin to change until a President and a Congress take a written oath to “to support this Constitution.” 

The fact that the Federal Reserve Bank is a private banking system proves that what almost all Americans believe to be democracy or a representative republic is nothing more than the first modern fascist state after the demise of the ancient Roman Republic.

President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama is being called a socialist and a communist, but he is neither.  Obama is a fascist dictator like all 43 Presidents of the United States before him.   What can be more obvious than the recreation in Washington, D. C. of a modern socialist democracy modeled after the ancient Roman Republic?

Even after 220 years of fascist rules by the Presidents of the United States the American people can still provide better solutions to the current economic problems than all the government employees in Washington, D. C. 

The people can put themselves back in power simply by probing the constitutional qualifications for the different Presidents: President of the United States, President of the United States of America and the Office of President.  Do you still think that all the Offices of President are the same?  Then you should be able to prove it.  Can’t? Become a student.

I know of no one with my knowledge and experience, who is attempting to teach all ordinary people, what they need to know about law and government.  Here is just one example of one of my responses to a recent student’s  experience using what he has learned:

Ed,

This is an update of my payroll situation I told you about at the school district I work for.  I have been using the information that I’ve learned about the organic law against the payroll supervisor, IRS agent, and written congressmen, senators, and the TIGTA. This information seemed to stop them in their tracks (for 2 months) until recently. 

The supervisor that I had been emailing and communicating with kept stating that he was going to start the levy approximately 2 months ago.  However, each month after stating that “he was going to carry the levy out”, he didn’t until this month of April.   

What do you think happened?  I know that the IRS has been working around and in avoidance of my other paperwork that is filed at the state level and county level that attacks territorial jurisdiction (this paperwork has been on file for more than 5 years now). 

Would like to hear your insights into this situation as I have been fighting this same type of issue for years now.

Joe
 

Joe,

All my efforts go toward making law and government simple enough for everyone to understand.  You became my student, so you could show others what I have taught you.

We both hope that our joint effort to establish the truth will aid in setting you free.

You have taken what you have been taught and attempted to share that with others, the payroll supervisor and those you mention who are connected to government.

There has been no acknowledgment from those you have informed and there will probably be none, because they cannot tell you the law not even the law that creates the government.  The people you have contacted have made themselves part of a dictatorship wherein they participate as employees.  The people who are trying to take your money, or at least what passes for money, have been deceived.  They believe they are living in a free country and you have a duty to support it by the payment of taxes.

Before George Washington became President of the United States, this country was a Christian nation, which means its inhabitants were ruled by God and the laws unwritten in books but written on the hearts of the people.  George Washington replaced that Christian nation with one ruled by Congress and recently President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama, recently, intoned solemnly that this is no longer a Christian nation.   George Washington desecrated the freedom that real Christian patriots won by the removal of the foreign prince, George III, when he took an oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the rich against the meek.

George Washington was instrumental in creating the first democratic fascist government, when he pretended to be bound to written law that would limit government power to that declared in the Declaration of Independence.  George Washington was a war hero and an international celebrity.  Only a man like George Washington could have accomplished what George III, the British army and navy and Parliament could not.  Washington began the subjugation of the American people so stealthfully that they are only now renewing their rebellion against excessive and oppressive government by staging “Boston Tea Parties” nationwide.

Today, unfortunately, many have lost the ability to think for themselves and believe everyone must work for this non-Christian fascist nation by following the orders made by the Congress of the United States and the current President of the United States.   

The truth, you have found, is the solution to fascism.  You have learned or you will soon learn how to prove, using the Constitution, that the President of the United States is an employee of Congress.   That same President of the United States is the Chief Magistrate, Chief Executive and Commander in Chief of a government wholly concocted by statute law by the Congress of the United States.  Everyone appointed by this President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate can have no power greater than that which made the appointment. 

The Chief Justice in the Constitution is an employee, appointed by the President of the United States, whose only constitutional duty of employment is to preside over the impeachment of the President of the United States.  The Congress of the United States makes the Chief Justice’s status absolutely certain when it creates a non-judicial territorial supreme court for the employee Chief Justice to preside over.

All the truth about the government and the laws the government has made can be found in the four Organic Laws of the United States of America.  You have learned much, but there is a lot more to learn before the employees of government will treat you like an inhabitant with all the privileges and immunities of a citizen, but without the obligations.  

The Declaration of Independence, the first Organic Law of the United States of America, limits government to securing to the American people their unalienable Rights, which at a minimum include “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”

Unfortunately, George Washington and the other members of the Constitutional Convention never intended that “this Constitution” be adopted, so Washington never took the Article VI oath of Office that would require him to support “this Constitution.”  Washington took an oral oath of employment to work for government and to have others work for government.

George Washington and every President of the United States since have prevented real government in America.  Instead, the 44 Presidents of the United States have all contributed to the formation of a fascist state where the people are employees of the state.         

The simple truth you can try to explain to everyone is there is no real government.  The payroll supervisor will readily admit that he is just an employee.  The others will claim they are part of the federal government, some like members of Congress claim to be part of a government branch, because they have taken the oath required of everyone in public Office except the President of the United States:

Title 5 United States Code Section 3331. Oath of office

An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the

civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath:

“I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the

United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance

to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion;

and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.

So help me God.”  This section does not affect other oaths required by law.  Title 5 United States

Code Section 3331. Oath of Office 

 The ratified, but un-adopted Constitution of the United States is a business plan not a government

constitution.  All we can do is the best we can.  A great many people are terrified of being free, while

others are up to the challenge.  

 

This is a Christian nation and each Christian in it can be expected to be denied, denied and denied again

by government.  Ultimately, the truth will make you free.

George Washington, when it came time to take an oath of Office couldn’t meet the 14 Years residency requirement for the Office of President, so he appointed himself President of the United States and was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, as President of the United States, an employee of the Congress of the United States.  The Office of President became vacant and has remained vacant, as no President elect has ever taken the Article VI oath “to support this Constitution.”  Taking the Article VI oath prevents the President Elect from also becoming an employee/dictator of Congress.  

This Constitution can’t be adopted without a President in the Article II Section 1 Clause 5 Office of President and a Congress whose members have all taken an oath “to support this Constitution.”  A substantial number of Americans believe that President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama is not qualified to be President of the United States or President of the United States of America, because they believe he cannot prove that he is a natural born Citizen of the United States.  The Office of President is the only one with qualifications.  The Offices of President of the United States of America and President of the United States have no qualifications whatsoever.  The Obama bashers are missing the obvious deficiency.

These Americans have conflated the many Presidents of the Constitution into one person, when it is clear the Constitution has constructed two Offices to be held by one person.  That one person will be a President of the United States of America under the authority of the Articles of Confederation and hold the Office of President under the authority of “this Constitution,” provided the Article VI oath of Office “to support this Constitution” is taken.

The truth about the Founding Fathers is that they were real Mothers.  They have been screwing Americans for more than 220 years, while being hailed as heroes.  Washington was the worst of the lot.

George Washington sets the precedent of not taking the Office of President and not taking an Article VI oath “to support this Constitution.”  Without an incumbent in the Office of President “this Constitution” is never adopted.  The Congress of the United States does whatever it wants, while the President of the United States pretends to be an independent branch of government.

Ratification, first by nine States and then by all States is only effective to amend the Articles of Confederation in minor ways such as to create a Senate in place of the United States, in Congress assembled and a President of the United States of America.

Ratification of this Constitution is a necessary pre-condition to the adoption of this Constitution, but it is not adoption of this Constitution.  This Constitution remains un-adopted and will continue un-adopted as long as the Office of President is vacant and Congress is not bound “to support this Constitution.”

Ratification binds the States, but only to the extent of the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  So long as the Office of President remains vacant and the Congress refuses to be bound by oath “to support this Constitution” there is no restraint on the Congress of the United States.      

To put a personal face on the problem, imagine a Congress of the United States without restraints, because the people do not know such a Congress may only make laws for the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America and you have the group of no goods led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

Only the truth will make you free and the only place you can get the truth about Pelosi and Reid is right here, when you contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com to become a student of law and government.

Dr. Eduardo M. Rivera   

They are the current faces of the oligarchy that rules America.

You’ve seen them on TV, but what are they really?  They are the people who have stolen your power, your freedom and your treasure.  They have laid waste to the country and they are in the process of making you bail out their cronies, political contributors and Wall Street friends.

They have no idea of how government is supposed to work, so they are just trying to grab as much as they can while they are still in office. 

This is how the First Congress did it and this is how Fancy Nancy Speaker of the House Pelosi and the Hairy Reid Senate Leader plied and plundered what they considered their fair share of what they could take from the people.

The written Constitution contrary to what the government would have you believe makes no significant changes in the three Organic Laws that precede it.

The claim that the Constitution permits the Congress of the United States legislative power over all the people of the United States is a gross exaggeration.  “We the People of the United States,” refers to the kind of people that were settlers and inhabitants of the Northwest Territory, which represents only a small number of Americans.  

The Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 confirmed the power of a Congress of the States of the United States of America Confederacy to impose taxation on the settlers and inhabitants of the Northwest Territory to pay federal debt.  When “this Constitution” was Established by the ratification by nine States, the Senate of the United States together with the House of Representatives became the Congress of the Confederacy under the Articles of Confederation.  The combination of this Senate and House of Representatives did not expand “All legislative power herein granted” beyond the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America, as the ratification of “this Constitution” could only come from people in the States who were citizens, who could only delegate political power.  The inhabitants of the states were, according to the Articles of Confederation, entitled to all the privileges and immunities and none of the obligations.      

When you were a child and lived at home with your parents, they ruled that territory and you as their property.  They made and enforced the law for you because they owned you.  After you grew up, the States created Child Protective Services to steal children from their parents, but that is another story.  Nancy and Harry think that they own you, everyone and everything in America.  Where do they get this idea?  George Washington delivered the country to the Congress of the United States, when he became President of the United States and no one noticed.

The State ratification of the grant of legislative power in Article I Section 1of the Constitution was only effective as to the power to legislate to create revenue from taxation within territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  The Constitution could not and did not grant legislative power over the inhabitants of the original thirteen states.  Those inhabitants were recognized to have all the privileges and immunities of free citizens in the several States, by Article IV of the Articles of Confederation.

The Framers of the Constitution intentionally wrote the Constitution so that it would be misinterpreted to grant legislative power generally over all people.   Once the reader realizes that none of the prior three Organic Laws have been repealed or replaced, “this Constitution” must be reconciled with the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation and Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787.  Reconciliation of all the Organic Laws of the United States of America requires the acceptance of the United States referred to in Article I Section 8 as the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  Article I Section 8 is merely a translation of the power to tax into the more practical form of legislative power¾the power to make tax laws.  Article I Section 8 must be read as one long sentence that describes the power of the legislative Congress to tax to achieve the fulfillment of what have been erroneously identified as “enumerated powers.”

The alleged power to make new tax laws by the Congress of the United States of the Constitution is nothing more than a revision of the language in the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 to cover more territory that has come to be owned by and ceded to the United States of America.  The legislative power of “a Congress of the United States” is limited to the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America.

The Constitution of the United States became a kind of written Constitution for the territory owned by and ceded to the United States of America, when “this Constitution” was ratified by only nine States of the thirteen original states.  This provision for Establishment by less than a unanimous thirteen states confirmed the continued vigor and vitality of the Articles of Confederation.  The vesting of executive power in a President of the United States of America, when nine States ratify “this Constitution” also confirms that the nine State ratification made the minor adjustments already provided for in the Articles of Confederation.  The Article VII nine State ratification made repeal or replacement of the Articles of Confederation or any other Organic Law an impossibility.

Pelosi and Reid assume they have legislative power that extends to all persons and all parts of America.  The legislative power they claim to possess cannot be proven to exist simply, because it cannot be reconciled with the individual freedom declared in the Declaration of Independence. 

The protestations of the April 15, 2009 Tea Party participants could be found in one form or another among the abuses and usurpations of power denounced in the Declaration of Independence.  Ignorance of the Organic Law between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution has made it seem impossible for the people to understand that there is a way out of the Pelosi Reid reign of legislative terror.

On April 30, 2009 two hundred and twenty years will have passed from the day George Washington took the oath to become the Presidential Employee of the Congress of the United States.  Washington made it possible for Congress to create an oligarchy reminiscent of the ancient Roman Republic.         

I teach law and government to ordinary people, but if you contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com I can show you how to make Pelosi and Reid disappear from your memory.
