THE WHISKEY REBELLION
Filed Under FREEDOM, LEARNING THE LAW, Martial Law, PRESIDENTS, PROPRIETARY POWER, Territorial Jurisdiction | Leave a Comment
In 1794, George Washington assembled an army of about 13,000 militia to march west against frontier farmers who were protesting unlawful federal taxation. Use of military power to administer federal laws limited to federal territory beyond that territory was just one of the many precedents Commander in Chief George Washington established during his two terms as President of the United States and President of the United States of America.
In January 2012, many of my Students who completed the Basic Course in Law and Government will begin my Advanced Course in Taxation.
My offer made in my July 7, 2011 Post to provide all the Basic Course in Law and Government materials for a down payment of $50 will end at midnight on December 31, 2011.

Today, taxation and right to vote in a democracy are inseparably paired. The cure for high taxation in a democracy is supposed to be more democracy by registering more voters. More voters, however, means more registered citizens of the United States and the federal government just continues to grow.
Governments, of, by and for the people get the power of government from those same people, which, individually, have no right to make laws or impose taxes on others. In the final analysis, the power of taxation after the Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 was all proprietary and no individual right to vote exists in the Organic Laws of the United States of America.
I am forming an Advanced Class in taxation for those who have completed the Basic Course in Law and Government. To enroll in either course, contact me at edrivera@edrivera.com

RE-LEARNING AMERICAN HISTORY: THE PRESIDENCY
Filed Under Article II Section 1 Clause 8, Articles of Confederation, Electoral College, LEARNING THE LAW, Oath of Office, ORGANIC LAWS, Presidential Elector, PRESIDENTS | Leave a Comment
There were definitely American Presidents before George Washington; however, Washington is the first President to combine the power of a bureaucratic government with the military power of a nation state, the United States of America. To learn the identities of the American Presidents before George Washington, do an Internet search for: presidents under the articles of confederation.
The Constitution of September 17, 1787 was established between the first nine States of the original thirteen States of the United States of America on June 21, 1788, when New Hampshire became the ninth State to ratify “this Constitution.” Within a few days of New Hampshire’s ratification, Virginia and New York ratified “this Constitution,” as well and eleven States hurried to elect a Congress and a President of the United States of America.
The First Congress was set to convene on March 3, 1789, but missed that mark by a day. The Presidential Electors had met on February 4, 1789 to vote for a President of the United States of America, who would certainly be George Washington when those votes were unsealed and counted before Congress on April 6, 1789. On that day, George Washington was “[T]he Person having the greatest Number of Votes,” and was, therefore, according to Article II Section 1 Clause 3, “the President.”
Academia and media ignore the significance of the day the Presidential Electoral votes are counted before Congress in order to preserve the status quo. Do an Internet search on “April 6, 1789” to confirm that no establishment educational institution will report that date as the date George Washington became President of the United States of America.
Articles IX and X of the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 permitted nine States of the United States of America Union to act while the United States in Congress assembled was in recess. The United States in Congress assembled was in recess on April 6, 1789.
Because the Articles of Confederation of November 15, 1777 establishes a Confederacy, there is no provision in the Articles for any delegates or officers to take oaths. George Washington took no oath or affirmation when he became President of the United States of America.
The Office of President of the United States has only two duties expressed outside of the oral oath of office: to sign Bills he approves and to make his objections to bills he objects. The President of the United States is an employee as his discretion is limited: he may only approve Bills or object to them.
The Congress of the United States has expanded on the duties of the President of the United States, which confirms the Office’s legislative origin.
You learned none of the important dates and events in your public or private education. You will learn that and more when you take my Basic Course in Law and Government. Check out the special offer I made on my July 7, 2011 Post.

NOVEMBER 4, 2008 BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ELECTED DICTATOR BY MEDIA
Filed Under CONGRESS, Electoral College, LEARNING THE LAW, LIBERTARIAN, OBAMA, Presidential Elector, PRESIDENTS | Leave a Comment
The media elected Barack Hussein Obama dictator by reporting that he was elected President on November 4, 2008.
The media has failed to report that almost every President since George Washington has been elected President of the United States of America when the Electoral votes were unsealed and counted before Congress. Barack Hussein Obama was elected President of the United States of America on January 9, 2009.
Barack Hussein Obama was already President of the United States of America when on January 20, 2009 he finally took the oral oath of Office of President of the United States.
If you have noticed that the Offices of President of the United States and President of the United States of America are two different offices held by the same person, you qualify to become one of my Students. See the special offer I made in the July 7, 2011 Post.

Why is it so difficult to get an excellent education in America?
Education should be about learning how to recognize and find truth. In short, education is learning how to think. The highest form of thinking is learning the law.
The legal education presented in these Posts shows why government can’t permit the education it controls to teach the truth about law and government. Modern education in America can’t focus on the attainment of truth lest the truth change government.
What is the truth about government? Government is limited by the Organic Laws of the United States of America. Self-proclaimed citizens of the United States extend the jurisdiction of the United States of America by identifying themselves as voters and taxpayers.
My Basic Course in Law and Government is the only legal education in the world available in an instant for fifty dollars. Go to my July 7, 2011 Post for enrollment instructions.

THE FUTILITY OF WAITING FOR TAX REFORM
Filed Under CONSTITUTION, Northwest Ordinance, Property Taxes | Leave a Comment
Every evil of modern government including taxation can be blamed on the popular vote. Written laws in America are limited in their application by the Organic Laws of the United States of America to the territory owned by the United States of America and the inhabitants of that territory.
Article IV of the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 makes provision for the inclusion of the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota as part of the Confederacy and the taxation of the inhabitants of that territory: “The said territory, and the States which may be formed therein, shall forever remain a part of this Confederacy of the United States of America, subject to the Articles of Confederation, and to such alterations therein as shall be constitutionally made; and to all the acts and ordinances of the United States in Congress assembled, conformable thereto. The inhabitants and settlers in the said territory shall be subject to pay a part of the federal debts contracted or to be contracted, and a proportional part of the expenses of government, to be apportioned on them by Congress according to the same common rule and measure by which apportionments thereof shall be made on the other States;”
The temporary law of the Northwest Ordinance of July 13, 1787 quoted above was made permanent in Article I Section 8 of the Constitution of September 17, 1787: “The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;”
The phrase: “United States” in Article I Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States refers to the territory belonging to the United States of America, which remains subject to the exclusive legislative power of the Congress of the United States popularly elected by citizens of the United States.
George Washington and the Founding Fathers risked their lives and reputations constructing the conspiracy that would subvert freedom in America to the degree necessary to permit the federal government to rule the people of the States, which retained their sovereignty, freedom and independence, the present government will not release rule back to the people willingly. The American people must expose the fraud of the Founding Fathers and reclaim their freedom from taxation.

“THE POWER TO TAX INVOLVES THE POWER TO DESTROY”
Filed Under CONSTITUTION, LAW OF THE LAND, Property Taxes, PROPRIETARY POWER, Supreme Court | Leave a Comment
The power to tax is not just involved with the power to destroy it is the power to destroy. Both the power to tax and the lawmaking power can be traced back to the despotic power of monarchical rulers. Ancient tyrants ruled the nations they conquered, as if they owned them, because they did own them. Monarchs taxed and laid down the law, because no one dared to oppose the royal ruler.
The Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776 changed ancient history. Taxation and lawmaking, now, had to be consensual, but on an individual basis. That spelled trouble for American politicians, because the people, once they were freed from royal tyranny, were unwilling to bind themselves to a democratic version of what they had under King George III. The Framers of the Constitution concocted the Representative and House of Representatives to con Americans to consent to taxation and to being ruled by Congress.
My Basic Course in Law and Government shows how George Washington and his Freemason cronies subdued and subjugated the American people. The Whiskey Rebellion was put down with the military might of the United States of America, and soon after the tax on spirits a tax on carriages was imposed. Subjugation by unwarranted taxation didn’t end with George Washington’s two terms as President of the United States and President of the United States of America.
Some twenty years after Washington’s death, Chief Justice John Marshall of the Supreme Court ruled erroneously, in McCulloch v. Maryland, that the Constitution exempts the Federal Government from state taxation. In that case the Chief Justice set forth his renowned dictum that “the power to tax involves the power to destroy.”
Government power in America vanished along with King George III. George Washington brought it back with a vengeance.

THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES CREATES A LEGISLATIVE SUPREME COURT FOR A GOVERNMENT OF MEN NOT LAWS
Filed Under Adoption, CONSTITUTION, IMPEACHMENT, Oath of Office | Leave a Comment
All the courts in America are headed by a man called the Chief Justice whose only constitutional duty is to preside at the impeachment of the President of the United States. Impeachment is expressly defined, as a non-judicial proceeding, in Article I Section 3 Clause 7: “Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to law.”
The condition that the Chief Justice “shall preside” only at the non-judicial impeachment of the President of the United States makes the Chief Justice a non-judicial officer in the Constitution of September 17, 1787. This Constitution itself would be transformed into the Constitution of the United States, a kind of Constitution George Washington could swear to “preserve, protect and defend,” as President of the United States. The oral oath George Washington took on April 30, 1789 had little or nothing to do with the duties imposed upon the President of the United States in Article I Section 7. This is the oath George Washington took at noon on April 30, 1789: “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.” Washington could now sign Bills which he approved and make objections to those which he did not approve.
The day before George Washington and the First Congress enacted the Judiciary Act of 1789, which established the federal court system, the President of the United States and Congress of the United States created the highest Officers of the so-called federal judiciary. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, who sits atop the federal and State courts, is entirely the creation of the Congress of the United States, hence, the conclusion that the government which emerges from the ratification of the Constitution of September 17, 1787, by nine States, is a government of men and not a government of laws.
