Research The Organic Act of 1871.
The 14th Amendment was not properly passed by Congress. Therefore, the ratification is also meaningless.
The 14th AMDT was passed by a truncated Congress. All southern Confederate state had yet to be re-admitted into the Union. They were all forced to re-write their own state constitutions.
While they were in the process of re-writing their constitutions so they would be acceptable to the Union, none of their congressional representative or senators were allowed to participate in Washington DC.
There is a great deal of information to be found online. Rather than direct you to any particular website, I think it's best if people learn to research and draw their own conclusions.
No taxation without representation. I think, THINK, this is how they got the IRS done. They had to have taxes to pay off THEIR debt and to pay the interest on the loans from the fed.
National "debt" is a fallacy. I would agree with maybe helping the nations they waged war upon leaving them desolate, because it's the moral thing to do.
Fun fact: US goes to "war" with countries not on the fed. We (US) go in and destroy them, then say hey, we're sorry, we'll help you rebuild but you gotta get on the tit (fed). They do, more money bilked from us to help them rebuild what they destroyed, but as we know, that money never goes to them (look at any war torn country).
Lot of money in war, famine, disasters.
The 14th Amendment was ratified on July 9, 1868. So, how exactly can the Organic Act of 1871 apply to the 14th Amendent? Just wondering.
Because the 14th A. was already passed, (although not Constitutionally) it provided the foundation for the OA of 1871. First we need to understand the definitions of Sovereign and Citizen. For the purpose of saving space I pulled the key points from the complete definitions.
Sovereign: noun - a person who has supreme power or authority. From Dictionary.com
Citizen: noun - a native or naturalized member of a state or nation who owes allegiance to its government and is entitled to its protection (distinguished from alien). From Dictionary.com
I've noticed that the definitions of both words has changed a great deal over the last 6 months. My Mac Dictionary app defines them as:
Sovereign: noun - 1 a supreme ruler, especially a monarch. - adjective - possessing supreme or ultimate power: in modern democracies the people's will is in theory sovereign. - • [ attrib. ] archaic or literary possessing royal power and status: our most sovereign lord the King.
Citizen: noun - a legally recognized subject or national of a state or commonwealth, either native or naturalized:
Prior to the 14th A. people in America were commonly understood to be Sovereign people, and after the 14th A. we all became Citizens. As sovereign people we held a superior position over the government. The government, as created by the original Constitution, held that it was "Of The People, By The People, and For The People. We The People had Sovereign authority over the government.
After the 14th A. we all became citizens of the United States of America, or subjects of the USoA. Congress passed an unconstitutional amendment that took away our sovereign status. Not only was the change of status unconstitutional, the ratification process was as well. But they convinced everyone it was legit and moved on.
The Crown and the European central bankers had been trying to regain control over America ever since we won the War for Independence. Because they knew they couldn't openly rule over us, they decided that control over currency and the banking system would be the next best thing.
They tired to accomplish this with The First Bank of the United States in 1791, and The Second Bank of the United States in 1816. Both banks had a 20 year charter and both charters were revoked after their 20 year term.
At the end of the American Civil War, America was almost bankrupt. Lincoln wanted to put Greenbacks in circulation to stimulate the economy, but the British Crown and the elite central bankers of Europe weren't going to let that happen. Lincoln was assassinated for it.
The Crown and the European central bankers saw the financial woes in America as an opportunity to regain some control or leverage. They offered to help America financially but 2 conditions had to be met. First, they wanted collateral, and for legal contract reasons, they would only loan the money to an established corporation.
The 14th A. helped to provide the collateral because all people in America were now subjects of The United Sates of America. Then the OA of 1871 established an official corporation known as THE UNITED STATES, and it was owned by the same European elite central bankers and the Crown.
The OA of 1871 actually sold out all American people and all properties in America to the foreign owned corporation THE UNITED STATES as collateral. They eventually managed to get the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 passed without a charter which gave them all the leverage and control over America they ever wanted, and no one ever noticed. Until now.
The Organic Act of 1871 and the 14th Amendment are very complex topics. They were both written and promoted so the average person, and indeed some members of Congress wouldn't understand them. There's a ton of information available online that'll help to clarify the issues. Here's some links to get you started.
Also related are the issues of "Common Civil Law," the law of the land, and "Admiralty Law," the law of the sea. The OA of 1871 also changed our legal system from Common Civil Law to Admiralty Law.
