THE DECLARATION OF NON-DEPENDENCE OF THIS UNITED STATE OF AMERICA In the Statehouse, 21.xii.MMXII Christian Era, Gregorian Calendar The unilateral Declaration of this United State of America, When in the Course of governmental affairs, it is commonplace for Our vassal to exceed the scope of its Delegated Powers derived from the Ratification of the federal Constitution, to profess a national supremacist Attitude as had been expressed, yet never ratified, in article 2 of Its Draft, and to thereby assume a separate and superior Station to which Its Terms do not entitle it, notwithstanding loose construction of ambiguities, a healthy Contempt for said Attitude of Our vassal, and a decent Respect to Opinion in this State and others, require Us to declare the Causes which impel Us to withdraw Our Consent to said Constitution, except for Article I, Sections 1.i, 2.i & 3.i, and Article IV.4, while maintaining Our Consent to the Delegation of Powers in the former System of federal Government under the Articles of Confederation & perpetual Union as well as to the Restriction of its Powers under the Bill of Rights from the 3rd to the 12th article, each having been ratified with unanimity as required by said Articles. We hold these Truths to be self-evident: that creations depend on their Creators for their existence and so dare not act otherwise; that as a result of having been created in the Creators' image, all People among Their respective sex are created equal, that Those of each sex are endowed with certain unabridgeable Rights as an inherent part of their Creation, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of anything tangible or intangible that may bring Happiness without Infringement on such Rights of Others; That for Enforcement of Laws against such Infringement, Government is created by the People as Their vassal, deriving its delegated Powers from the Consent of its Creators, and thus subservient to Them; That whenever any Form of Government becomes negligent, or destructive, of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter it, or abolish it and institute a new Form, laying its foundation on such Principles, and organising its Powers, as to Them shall seem most likely to effect Their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that a Form long established should not be abolished for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience has shown, that the People are more disposed to riot or rebel, when evils are insufferable, than to right Themselves by abolishing the Form to which They are accustomed. After a long train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably a design to reduce Them to relative Servitude, it is Their Right, it is Their Duty to throw off such Form, and terminate the bureaucracy seeking to enslave Them. Such has been the patient sufferance of this State; yet it is practical necessity which constrains Us to revert merely to the previous System of Government, that once had served the founding States well and now is emulated in the Swiss Presidency as the rule while only the exception in the House of Representatives when choosing a President under the 12th Amendment. The history of the bureaucracy of the more perfect Union is one of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all meant to bring about national, multinational or international Supremacy over this State. To prove this, let Facts be summarised for Our Constituents and attentive Legislators among the several States-- it has issued Executive Orders, the most unwholesome or unnecessary for the Public Good. it has co-erced Our Governors not to sign or enforce Laws of immediate and pressing Importance, unless Control should be co-ordinated by or centralised in national or international Agencies, or has rewarded Them for neglecting to attend to traditional Principles of Law when utterly yielding to such Regulation. it has refused to enforce Laws for the general Welfare and common Defense of the People, unless They would relinquish Their Rights under Natural Law or the Bill of Rights, which are inestimable to Them, and a hindrance to national, multinational or international Supremacists. it has endeavored to aid or abet illegal Immigration to our Country: by impeding enforcement of Our Laws when illegal Immigrants commit Crimes; by refusing to enforce Laws preventing their Migrations hither, or by raising conditions of new Appropriations for a National Identification Scheme to track Citizens instead. it has refused, after such violations of the Borders, to properly equip or reinforce the Border Patrol; such that the Right of Self-Defense, incapable of Annihilation, must default to the People individually to exercise It, if County Militias are unable to defend Them; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of Invasion from without, or Terrorism, Drug Trafficking and Epidemics within. it has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing its Assent to let a Grand Jury be convened to decide whether Osama ben Laden ought to be indicted for federal Crimes that it alleged were committed by him on the 11th of September 2001 CE, by commuting the Sentences of those who reveal CIA Agents' identities, by arresting Israeli or Cuban Agents for pursuing terrorists on our Soil, and by eliminating Evidence at Crime Scenes. it has intimidated, panicked or whitemailed Congress not to oppose Bailouts of its private-sector Associates, nor Invasions either on Our Rights or on foreign Soil in undeclared Wars entered into under false Pretenses; and not to impeach the President for lying to them when so going to War, lest related Deaths be construed as Murders. it has made Officials dependent on the Will of Multinationals, for the Tenure of their Offices, for their Appointment, and for their deferred Compensation. it has erected a multitude of new Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass Our People, invade Their Privacy, or confiscate Their Property under Color of Law. it has kept amongst Us foreign Soldiers without Our Consent. it has affected to render the Vice-President independent of and superior to the President, and at times the de facto Commander-in-Chief; and its unelected Agents superior to Our elected Sheriffs. it has combined with multinational and international Supremacists to subject Us to Regulation by Treaties foreign to the federal Constitution, or unratified by the Senate, or unimplemented as Law; while giving its Assent to other Acts of pretended or mock Legislation: for preventing extraction of Oil on-shore and off in Arctic and other coastal Waters, pursuant to various Treaties such as the Law of the Sea, whether ratified or not: for hidden subsidies of Child Labor or environmental Destruction in related imported Products by removing countervailing Tariffs; of Imports from all parts of the world by removing Fees for Inspections at Ports of Entry, or via Tax Exemptions and Credits for jet-fuels or airfreight and any resulting damage to the ozone layer of Our Airspace; and of financial Institutions by exempting financial, especially derivative, transactions from Excise Tax, by allowing Them to short shares of a stock without having to borrow them or to pay a fee to lender or issuer, and by exempting Them from tax upon Expatriation of Their subsidised profits, capital and wealth, while subjecting Them to tax upon Repatriation: for collecting Imposts, Duties and Excises with geographic non-uniformity, or from Employees, such that Income Tax is no longer implemented on the Mainland of the United States as in Puerto Rico where It is still pursuant to the 16th Amendment permitting Its derivation from any Source, rather than any Recipient, of the taxable item, as for Taxes on Tobacco, that were likewise non-uniform under Smoot-Hawley Legislation; and such that recent federal 1040s for Puerto Rico are identical only to those prior to WWII for the Mainland, neither having derived Income Tax from Employees who are not self-employed: for inducting large bodies of Foreigners as Soldiers or Mercenaries, many having committed Felonies: for protecting them from Punishment for any Murders which they should commit here or abroad: for transporting Our Residents or Visitors overseas to be tortured or tried for pretended Offences: for depriving Us of the benefits of a free and independent Press in the mainstream, and in many cases, of Trial by Petit Jury, Indictment by Grand Jury, or Examination of Facts by Folk-right Jury presided over by the Sheriff: for abolishing Sheriffs as the supreme Law Enforcement Officers within Our State by establishing over them federal Marshals whose Territories have been enlarged from Indian and military Reservations to the entire State for the purpose of federal Regulation, as if It were also a federal Dependency, such as Puerto Rico: for suspending the Principles of Separation of Powers when declaring the President invested with legislative and judicial Powers, and the President of the Senate with executive Power; or of Church and State, when usurping the exclusive Power of this State to grant corporate status, such that it is imposed upon those Churches of Our People who want to remain unincorporated associations: for besieging and seizing Churches daring to exercise Their Rights to outsource employment and employment Taxes, or to avoid federal imposition of corporate Status and Obligations resulting from Regulations establishing Religion as one qualification to exempt a corporation from Tax, such that its exercise thereof is unfree. it has abdicated a government of Laws by denying Us equal Protection thereunder, and practicing selective Enforcement thereof. it has rewarded malicious Prosecutions of Parents for mortally shaking babies, whereby all Evidence is suppressed that they instead died from adverse reactions to vaccinations that their immune systems were too underdeveloped to withstand; or rewarded uncompensated Takings, without due Process under trumped up Charges of child Abuse, of Their surviving babies injured by the vaccines, so as to prevent Claims upon the Vaccine Injury Compensation Trust Fund. it has plundered cash Deposits in Trust Funds for Vaccine Injury Compensation, Social Security, Postal and Military Pensions, and replaced them with internal Treasury Bonds never authorised as marketable securities. it had closed banks and subsequently seized Our Gold Coins on deposit with them, when the proper measure against federal Insolvency during the Depression was to have sold Assets owned by it for Our benefit, such as the Phillipines to Japan, the Alaskan Panhandle to Canada, & Puerto Rico to Mexico; instead it plundered a competitive Monetary System backed by deposits of Our own Gold and Silver, and replaced It by a monopolised Bills-of-Credit System backed only by Federal Reserve Accounting Units of Debt, which ultimately also made possible the recent S&L Crisis as well as the current Credit Crisis. it has exacerbated the Credit Crisis by permitting corrupt accounting and financial practices, or by assuming the consequences as Liabilities of the United States, thereby shrinking the supply of affordable Credit for Individuals, States, Counties and Municipalities to weather economic crises, and for domestic Businesses to reinvest in our economy. it has let multinationals plunder Our Waters, Mines and Forests for much less than fair value, kill untold numbers of Us from pharmaceuticals, artificial sweeteners, contaminated food, vaccines or blood products, while destroying Family Farming and other Livelihoods for their benefit. it is at this time assisting, via Immunity from arrest or prosecution, foreign and domestic Agents and Diplomats to buy, steal and sell our strategic Secrets, to produce, transport and market illegal Drugs, to kidnap, rape and murder Our Children, or to commit other unspeakable Crimes scarcely parallelled in the most barbarous ages, which bespeak a total Betrayal by those in Office sworn to defend us against our enemies. it has constrained Our fellow Citizens to be entrapped in biological, psychiatric or other covert operations, to become Assassins and Executioners of Their associates and Brethren, or to fall Themselves by their hands for being potential Whistle-blowers, unless They commit Suicide first. it has been the proximate cause of domestic Violence amongst Our underpaid military Families, and has endeavored to create a new Generation of Terrorists from the recent practice of deploying at home and abroad merciless overpaid Mercenaries whose new Rules of Engagement are the indiscriminate destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every escalation of these Oppressions We have petitioned the Executive Branch for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered by repeated injury, insult or a deaf ear. A bureaucracy whose character is thus marked by every act which may define criminals, is unfit to be a suzerain or vassal of its Sovereign States. Nor have We been wanting in Petitions to the other Branches of Our federal vassal. We have warned Congress from time to time of attempts to legislate an unwarrantable Jurisdiction over Us. We have reminded them of the Terms of their Tenures. We have appealed in the Supreme Court to their native Justice and Magnanimity, and We have conjured them by the ties of our common Heritage to check these Usurpations that inevitably harm our Institutions at home and Reputation abroad. They too have been deaf to the Voice of Justice and of Sympathy. Consequently, We must acquiesce in the necessity to demote the national Government in keeping with the Form guaranteed in Article IV.4 of the Constitution as ordained originally under the Articles of Confederation & perpetual Union, and to once again become its Intermediary for any of its Powers and Tax Revenues such that Our People are free from direct interference by it in Their own affairs. Therefore, We, the Legislators of this State, in the Statehouse assembled, invoking Articles IV.4 & VII of the Constitution for the Rectitude of Our Intentions, do, in the Name and by Authority of the Creators of this State, solemnly publish and declare: That this State is, and of Right is entitled to be, a non-Dependent State, and thus repeals Its Ratification of the Constitution for the United States of America, except for Articles I.1.i, I.2.i, I.3.i & IV.4, and the first Ten Amendments; that although still unfree to the extent of the Terms of the Articles of Confederation & perpetual Union and the Bill of Rights, We are nonetheless absolved from all Allegiance to said Constitution, and that all Laws, Treaties, Agencies and Programs approved by Congress contrary to the Terms of said Articles are within this State henceforth unlawful; and that as a non-Dependent State, albeit one not compleatly free of Obligations to the Union, We have full Power to secure Our Borders, issue Passports and Visas, arrest and deport illegal Immigrants, regulate and tax Commerce and Finance, and to do other Acts and Things which non-Dependent States may of Right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, We each pledge a Bond of twelve thousand silver Dollars to be forfeited if We do not, when amending Our State Constitution in accordance with this Declaration, propose: that no State Official may seek a consecutive Term for the same Office, or accept or solicit Campaign Contributions for any other Office; that Counties be invested with Sovereign Capacity, as in Swiss Cantons whose vassal is the Swiss State, but solely via popular Referenda; that every County be represented at the Statehouse by an equal number of Senators, and each District therein by a Representative elected by Its Citizens using hand-counted Paper Ballots as in Canada; and that the free System of English Laws be fully restored, whereby a Bar Member may not directly represent, nor outside the Courtroom confer with Litigants on their cases, other than by way of Litigants' Attorneys who by Law may not be Bar Members nor other Officers of the State, thereby avoiding Conflicts of Interest when representing Litigants, as avoided even in South Africa, where the free System is still preserved.
