“The people are Sovereign. … at the Revolution, the sovereignty devolved on the people; and they are truly the sovereigns of the country, but they are sovereigns without subjects… with none to govern but themselves; the citizens of America are equal as fellow citizens, and as joint tenants in the sovereignty.” – Chief Justice John Jay 1793

Are you sovereign? Are you a citizen/Citizen? That’s a great question. Most people believe and daily state that they are US Citizens or an American Citizen. I’m all for having pride in your nation and displaying that pride as a free human. The issue is, you’ve been duped into believing that you are a US or American Citizen. THE UNITED STATES is not a government. It is NOT federal. THE UNITED STATES is a corporation, not a government. So, can you claim to be a Citizen of a corporation? What is a citizen of America then?
A UNITED STATES Citizen is defined in the 14th amendment of the US Constitution which is recognized as an entirely alternate document than the constitution for the United States of America. It states as follows in section 1, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” This section accomplishes two things. It acknowledges that you have to be born or naturalized in the United States (not America), AND subject to the jurisdiction thereof. This poses two problems. 1.) All definitions within the United States Code show that the UNITED STATES (United States) is anything but America as a whole. 18 USC which is crimes and criminal procedure states at section 5, “The term “United States”, as used in this title in a territorial sense, includes all places and waters, continental or insular, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, except the Canal Zone.” You can clearly see that for the entirety of the 18th title of the United States Code, when referencing location, it only includes places or waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. We’ll cover more about the jurisdiction shortly.
10 USC section 101(a)(1): The term “United States”, in a geographic sense, means the States and the District of Columbia. This Code is regulates the armed forces only.
28 USC section 3002(15)(A): “United States” means— a Federal corporation;
26 USC section 7701(a)(9): “The term “United States” when used in a geographical sense includes only the States and the District of Columbia.” This is an interesting loop of misleading information. The statute seems to claim “States” would be the 50 states. However, when you look at the next definition in the Title, 26 USC section 7701(a)(10), it clearly states; “The term “State” shall be construed to include the District of Columbia, where such construction is necessary to carry out provisions of this title.” This means that the definition of United States reads as follows; “The term ‘United States’ when used in a geographical sense includes only the District of Columbia and the District of Columbia.'” Please be aware that 26 USC is the tax code… If you’re not in the District of Columbia or receive “income” in DC, you should re-evaluate your tax status with the IRS.
As you can see, there are several instances in the federal statutes that clearly articulate the fact that the United States in statutory language is not America. It is only DC. This raises even MORE questions undoubtedly. What does the United States have jurisdiction of? Remember, the 14th amendment says you have to be born or naturalized in DC AND subject to the jurisdiction thereof. That is plainly defined and limited in Article 1 Section 8 of the United States Constitution titled “Enumerated Powers” which reads as follows.
1.) Clause 1 General Welfare Clause:

18.) Clause 18 Necessary and Proper Clause:
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
The above 18 clauses of granted power to the government of the US only pertains to things that are created by the corporation known as the US. Clause 17 specifically states that congress cannot exceed it’s own limitation of the 10 miles square that is Washington DC or the District of Columbia. If congress, the one who “makes laws” cannot exceed the bounds of DC, how can you be subject to the jurisdiction of the US if you live in one of the 50 states? You can’t. This is why a US Citizen is in complete and total contradistinction to an American citizen/state citizen. As a US Citizen per the 14th amendment, you are subject to Washington DC corporation known as THE UNITED STATES. As an American/state citizen, you are sovereign and no party has any jurisdiction over you without your consent. Therefore, you are truly free in all senses of the word so long as you do not commit a crime which is abrogating someones right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, as well as damaging private property.
Remember, in 1793, only 2 years after the ratification of the Bill of Rights, Chief Supreme Court Justice John Jay said, “The people are Sovereign. … at the Revolution, the sovereignty devolved on the people; and they are truly the sovereigns of the country, but they are sovereigns without subjects… with none to govern but themselves; the citizens of America are equal as fellow citizens, and as joint tenants in the sovereignty.” He clearly acknowledged that men are not to govern other men. We are without subjects and with none to govern but themselves (ourselves). No man has jurisdiction over another man and the courts recognize it. The only problem being, you weren’t taught that so the courts will proceed with whatever defunct delusion you perceive as reality in court because any human who doesn’t move as a sovereign in court is admitting jurisdiction to the court which undoubtedly leads to you paying the court fines, fees, etc… They make a lot of money off of the lack of education of the people. “Ignorance of the law is no excuse” as they say. It’s time the people take that to heart and learn it’s true intent.
