)

Claimed: The United States is a Corporation, Not a Sovereign Nation
Claimed: There is no nation, it never was, the Constitution
created a corporation from the beginning.
 .
“DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ACT OF 1871 Theory”
Claimed: In 1871 The Congress created a commercial charter/Constitution
for the US, and made us into a corporation headquartered in the
District of Columbia, not a nation & therefore…
The Constitution used now is not the same one adopted in 1791.
Response: Did Anyone Actually Read that law?
CAPITALIZATION Did Not Happen!
Where’s the New Constitution?
.
Constitution FOR vs Constitution OF
Where is the corporation called THE UNITED STATES?
The Constitution refers to itself as “The Constitution of the United States”
.

The Adjournment of 1861
Claimed: The Congress of 1861 adjourned and was dissolved

convene both Houses, or either of them”) and the Constitution

(1) US is bankrupt;
(2) So the states lost sovereign power
(3) The U.S. lost its sovereignty
(4) US Became a corporation (or already was)

precedent or historical fact.

(With Interspersed Rebuttals)
.
Response: What IS the UCC?
What It’s NOT
UCC started 1952 not 1933
Not a Federal law.
Not a Law unless adopted in your state.
Some States did not adopt it.
Some made changes so it’s not really “Uniform”
Applies only to businesses and commercial activity
If States are not sovereign how can they pass laws like…the UCC?

.

Claimed:
(1) We lost the Revolution
(2) We won but we gave up what we won
(3) War of 1812 was British attempt to stop the “13th Amendment

can use those words to mean.

Does The “Real” 13th Amendment Eliminate the Courts?
http://wp.me/p3nYC8-kI

The claim: There is an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that disqualifies every lawyer in the country from being a citizen, and thereby from serving as a judge.
Response: If the Amendment had been ratified — and it wasn’t — so what?
          • “Esquire” is Neither a Title of Honor Nor of Nobility.
          • There is no law that gives the title “Esquire” to a lawyer, it’s just a fading tradition.
          • If there was such a law and Esquire was a title, and the Amendment actually applied, the law granting the title would be unconstitutional under this amendment, so the title would not actually be granted, so no one would lose citizenship.
          • The title not only doesn’t come from government or anyone really, it also it does not come from a foreign power so the Amendment wouldn’t apply.
          • Not Enough States Ratified – Publication is not Ratification
The Courts have already considered and rejected these arguments.

What about the BAR??

.
.
What is Admiralty Law?

Claimed: “The Admiralty Courts Exist Because
the U.S. is Under Martial Law”

Response:
The U.S. Is NOT Under Martial Law
Martial Law Does Not Suspend the Courts
The Courts are Not Suspended,
The Courts are not Acting in any Admiralty or Military Capacity.

Does The Jones Act Put Us Under Maritime/Admiralty Law
By Our Birth Certificate?
Why Is Your Name Spelled In CAPITALS?
.

The Currency Proposition:

Claimed: The US No Longer circulates Gold and Silver
Based Currency and/or Coin, Therefore We Are Governed by The Law Of The Sea
.
Response: Huh?

The Flag Fringe Proposition:

Claimed: The Gold Fringe on the Flag Shows
That The Court is An Admiralty/Military Court
Response: The Courts Say That is Hogwash
(and the wash part is not a reference to the sea.)

4 thoughts on “Guide to Sovereign Citizen Theories – Philip Marks”

  1. Ok… so lets get one thing straight, what the phuck is a “Sovereign citizen”??[See my reply to your other comment] Does anyone not realize that is an oxymoronic classification?? There is no such thing…. half of what ive read sounds like glow in the dark ABC bureau shilling some ol’ -I talk like a [DELETED HOMOPHOBIC SLUR], and my shits all retarded- ass trash… first off… there is [ARE] no questionable parameters of the federal government they are delegated their Constitunal authority to exist and operate… in their 10mi.² of D.C. and territories…. they are foriegn to the several Republic states of the Union…

    No they are not the courts are absolutely clear that’s rubbish and equally clear is the constitution which gives the federal government nationwide areas of sovereign power actually in the several states because we have a system of dual sovereignty where the Federal Government has jurisdiction over certain topics of sovereign power…

    … a large and very heavy veil has been draped upon you [Look in your mirror to see that] and are shilled the contrary! Everything that is deals with whats Public whats Private… whats the contract to you willfully bound yourself to that subjects you to the Article 1 maritime/admiralty jurisdiction …

    The answer to that nonsense is in Article III where the jurisdiction explicitly goes way beyond admiralty which you don’t understand at all anyway and your grasp of the law is as nonsensical as any sovereign’s. You don’t willingly bind yourself to the law you are bound period we are all subject to the law period. We don’t contract and it’s not voluntary which would be btw an insane way to run a society

    … they are trying you under?… dont be illiterate

    Please learn to use English words in their accepted meaning, I’m pretty sure you are not illiterate and i sure as hell am not.

    and so easily allow yourself to be shilled contrary to the truth

    [As imagined by fellow travelers of the sovereigns? Like yourself? Get a mirror Dorothy we are not in oz any more. I am not easily shilled i spent years reading the sources and the many insane legal fantasies such as those you are purveying in this comment, and researched them deeply and my blogs are all documentaries with linked sources so anyone can verify that what i say is accurate in context. You have no sources at all and no court recognizes any of this preposterous bullshit. Thanks for your time.]

    1. Factitious or fictitious? Everything in my blog that is offered as fact is fact. Linked to my sources in the blog. You can verify that every thing I said came from a place that I am not afraid to show you, in context.
      The sovereign bullshit is hard because there is no standard theory, it’s all made up; so it sometimes clashes with itself and then the people writing this crap are just cut/paste to the point the even a misspelled word will appear on many many sites.

      Anticipating your other comment, there is no such thing in reality as a sovereign citizen and the term is indeed oxymoronic. But if it isn’t clear from the blog I’ll summarize. A sovereign citizen is a person who believes they are sovereign over themselves and no one is sovereign over them, that they alone can decide what laws apply to them or how they are bound. And BTW you are saying the same damn thing with variations. It’s not contract law it’s LAW and you personally have NO CHOICE as to whether it applies to you though you can very much spend your life in prison for exercising that lunatic idea.

      They (you) have a bewildering flurry of proof to offer and even more legal theories than there are sovereigns to butrress this fantastical idea (of which yours is one) and even when they find themselves in jail or prison for practicing this fantasy they cannot seem to reattach to reality. Get some real glue maybe it will help.
