Wisconsin Free State History

The U.S. Supreme Court acknowledges two national, parallel governments in existence. Downes v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244 (1901) — Justice Marshall Harlan's dissenting opinion:

“The idea prevails with some — indeed, it found expression in arguments at the bar — that we have in this country substantially or practically two national governments; one to be maintained under the Constitution [de jure], with all its restrictions; the other to be maintained by Congress [de facto], outside and independently of that instrument by exercising such powers as other nations of the earth are accustomed to exercise.”

“…cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be able to subvert the Power of the People and to usurp for themselves the reins of Government; destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion…”
The spirit of encroachment tends to consolidate the powers of all departments in one, and thus to create, whatever the form of government, a real despotism…”
– George Washington, Farewell Address, 1796

---

It has been 218 years since President Washington delivered the above Farewell Address to the American People, warning in plain language of abusive individuals behind the scenes who would eventually try to destroy our constitutional Republic. It has been a long, drawn-out process to get us to where we are today in America.

We have a government in power today that has gone as far as to ask United States military personnel whether or not they would “fire on” (go to war against) the American People. This government is actively removing leadership within the U.S. Military that would refuse such an order. Today, it is clear that our lawful republican form of governance has been slowly and deceptively abandoned in favor of the despotism that George Washington warned of.

Americans are discovering how the US Corporation, posing as the Federal Government, has caused harm both to themselves and to nations around the world. We want the American People to know that many loyal Americans, as well as friends of this nation, are working to expose the unlawful actions of this corporate Federal Government and all the associated corporations and individuals involved.

Our goal is to stabilize America and its economy, with the intent of freeing the American People and people around the world from these despots. The rule of law must be applied equally to all mankind, requiring justice for the innocent as well as for those proven guilty of atrocities committed in the name of the American People.

George Washington stated in the same Farewell Address: “Real Patriots, who may resist the intrigues…are liable to become suspected and odious; while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the People to surrender their interests.”

In other words, the very Americans who become aware that something is wrong and take action to correct the abuse of power become the very ones vilified by the media. Today, many Americans refuse to believe the truth, or they dare not speak about it for fear of being punished or imprisoned for things that do not warrant such treatment.

Not all Americans are aware of the TRUTH about their Nation and the unlawful corporate government that is controlling their lives.

For now, it is your mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, brothers, sisters, and children who are the lifeblood of this Republic. Despite all the oppression, the American People will prevail in restoring our original constitutional republic.

The Republic for the United States of America is re-inhabited and is the only lawful civil authority for the United States of America.

The lawful government was re-inhabited in 2010 and is in the process of shifting governance from the unlawfully chartered UNITED STATES municipal corporation to the de jure Republic for the United States of America.

One, is the original de jure United States of America Republic that was controlled by “We the People” until about 1871. The government had very little authority since the power was in the hands of the People. The original Constitution was never removed; it has simply been dormant since about 1871. It is still intact to this day.

The other form is the de facto. During the years around 1871, the original United States of America Republic was usurped by banking interests and others to create a separate and different government — a corporation (the UNITED STATES corporation) — that poses and acts as our current government. The UNITED STATES corporation operates under Corporate/Commercial Law rather than the common law (Constitution)/Private Law.

The rewritten UNITED STATES corporate Constitution bypasses the original Constitution of the United States of America, which explains why our Congressmen and Senators no longer answer to the People and the President can write unlawful Executive Orders. They are following corporate laws that completely strip Americans of their God-given unalienable rights.

• The Republic is not part of or associated with sovereign anarchistic groups or movements.
• The Republic is not part of or associated with unlawful anarchistic militia groups or movements.
• The Republic is not part of or associated with nation state groups or movements.
• The Republic is not part of any groups or movements that promote violence of any kind.
• The Republic is not part of the unlawfully chartered UNITED STATES municipal corporation, its agents, or any of its sub-corporations, either directly or indirectly. This includes any of its political parties.
• The Republic stands independently as the lawful civil authority for the United States of America, re-inhabited in 2010.

On July 4, 1776, our American Founding Fathers signed a Declaration of Independence that changed the world forever. It was the first time in history that a group of common People declared their God-given right to be free from the oppression of a tyrant king. This was a new idea.

The Revolutionary War was fought and won under the direction of General George Washington, "Father of his country," who became the first President of the United States of America under the Constitution. A Congress was convened and the Constitution was adopted in 1787, ratified in 1788, and amended through the Bill of Rights in 1791. The Constitution guarantees a republican form of Governance to and for the American People.

Foreign banking interests are at war with the Constitution and the American People. These interests used their influence to incentivize many in our government to assist in a corporate takeover of our system. Beginning in 1861 and continuing through the 1870s, they set the Constitution aside and replaced it with a corporate democracy—without the consent or full disclosure to the American People.

Hired corporate actors usurped the unalienable rights of the American People. The District of Columbia was set aside to be the Seat of Government FOR the United States, not a separate government. Congress acted outside its enumerated powers, and the only way to challenge this is through the Supreme Court.

In 1862, an Act reclassified Senators and Representatives as Officers/Officials (see the Iron Clad Oath), changing the law form and depriving the People of Suffrage and Representation under the Constitution. This unlawful democratic corporation continues to rule under color of law, adhesion contracts, and implied consent.

For years, Americans have been fed “Patriot Myths” and “Commercial Remedies” that distract and divide. The corporation used well-intentioned Americans as bait to lure the public into debates and lawsuits that prevent unity and truth.

However, some Americans—like our Founders who relied on Divine Providence—have uncovered the truth and are working to share it. The Constitution is the only lawful solution. It defines the limits of government and secures the Rights of the People.

The Republic for the United States of America was founded as an interim government in 2010. On September 23, 2010, Americans from all fifty free States held elections to fill vacant Offices and Seats left behind when Congress abandoned the Republican Form of Government during the Civil War.

The interim Congress convened from November 12–14, 2010, marking the first lawful session since 1861. During this session, the Republic Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Sovereign Intent to restore constitutional governance.

Operational requirements remain, including filling Offices and Seats, securing financial support, and establishing lawful Militia and Military. The Republic continues to build its temporary governments and calls on every American to participate in constitutional elections.

Both Houses of Congress meet regularly, conducting research, drafting legislation, and vetting nominations. The supreme Court, district Courts, and Cabinet Members are actively preparing for full transition. A new treasury and banking system is under development, supported by startup budgets passed by Congress.

Once restored with full disclosure and public support, the Republic will begin redress of grievances, restitution, and healing. Education and vigilance will ensure the government never again exceeds its constitutional limits.

The Republic will operate peacefully in parallel with the corporate government. The unlawfully chartered corporations will be placed into receivership, and efforts will be made to bring corporate actors back into lawful conduct.

We believe that once Americans understand what has been perpetrated, they will support the Republic. Public opinion will compel those in power to respect the will of the People. Without a peaceful transition, America risks anarchy and global economic instability.

The UNITED STATES Corporation and its financial partners are insolvent. They lack capital, credit, collateral, and credibility. The Federal Reserve is also insolvent and can no longer manipulate global economies.

With the help of Creator God, the American People can lawfully prevent further atrocities. Our Nation must be restored to a virtuous, righteous, and honorable state. We ask for your prayers and support during this transition.

Many Americans feel divinely compelled to support the Republic. Change is occurring through the direction of our Almighty Creator. As our Founders relied on Divine Providence, so do we.

History shows that successful change requires only a small percentage of People. Public servants of the Republic have self-funded their work for over twelve years. International recognition and funding are vital, but nothing is more important than the American People embracing the truth and taking personal responsibility.

Please take time to review this presentation, visit the Republic website, and attend conference calls to become informed, ask questions, and discover how to contribute your gifts to this historic effort.

1 According to Chief Justice John Marshall in William Dixon et al. v. The United States (1811) and federal codes (Title 28 USC Sec. 3002), both the “UNITED STATES” and “The United States of America” are corporations.

2 The District of Columbia was chartered by the Act of February 27, 1801, known as the District of Columbia Organization Act. It was recognized by the Supreme Court as a corporation.

3 The United States Corporation and the de jure government operated side by side until the Civil War era, each fulfilling constitutional functions. The corporate entity allowed the United States to sue and be sued.

4The Civil War Era (1861–1865)

• 1 The root cause of the war centered on debt.
• 2Lincoln’s greenback dollar helped save the Union.
• 3Agents of influence worked behind the scenes to change governance.
• 4Lincoln was assassinated to prevent restoration of the Republic.

5The Act of 1871

• 4The District of Columbia was already incorporated with its own governmental structure in 1801. So, there could not be another organic (first) act to provide for its governance. Therefore, the 1871 act was done in fraud to create a new form of governance for America run by a private corporation.
• 1It incorporated the District of Columbia and subjugated all the States as territories.
• 2Our governance was changed from a de jure Republican Form of Government to a de facto corporate democracy.
• 3The new governance placed the President (executive branch) in supreme authority with little or no representation of the American People by Congress.
• 4A corporation does not have obligation to the American People.
• 5The de jure government positions were vacated and the Constitution of the United States of America was secretly suspended.
• 6The American People were never told that our form of governance was changed.

6An Act prescribing the Form of the enacting and resolving Clauses of Acts and Resolutions of Congress, and Rules for the Construction thereof (Federal Dictionary Act), circa 1871

• 1Section 2 of this Act altered the definition of the word ‘person’ making “person” in the singular or plural “extend and be applied to bodies politic and corporate.”
• 2In effect, this act lowered the American People to the same status as corporations making People subject to what would otherwise be unconstitutional statutes and codes. Using this act the corporate US has been able to get the unsuspecting American People into contracts which bind them to statutes and codes enacted outside the governmental framework of the Constitution.
• 3In effect, this act populated the US Corporation with persons.

7The United States Supreme Court Downes v. Bidwell, 182 U.S. 244 (1901) decision laid the foundation for modern courts to assert that American citizens are subject to laws and regulations that are not constitutionally applicable. This ruling perpetrated a great fraud of unlimited statutory power misapplied throughout the continental United States of America.

8The Federal Reserve Act (ch. 6, 38 Stat. 251, enacted December 23, 1913, 12 U.S.C. ch. 3) signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson, laid the foundation for (foreign) takeover of the United States Corporation by unknown others. This act unlawfully placed the creation of money into private hands.

9In the midst of the Great Depression, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was inaugurated as the 32nd President of the United States on March 4, 1933. He outlined his “New Deal," and told the American People that “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” He failed to tell the American People he was about to make them “enemies” of the United States. Just five days later President Franklin D. Roosevelt in collusion with Congress amended the dormant 1917 Trading With The Enemy Act to include the American People on the list of ‘enemies’ of the United States, declaring a ‘national emergency’ (Act of March 9, 1933 (Emergency Banking Relief Act), Public Law 73-1, 48 STAT 1., 03/09/1933.) In other words, FDR used the ‘Emergency War Powers’ of 1917 to establish dictatorial rule over the United States and the American People. Full disclosure of this act of treason has never been given to the American People. This declared ‘emergency’ caused the Constitution for the United States of America to be completely superseded. Government officials are no longer accountable to the Constitution as long as this deception continues.

10Executive Order 6102 was unlawfully signed on April 5, 1933 by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt “forbidding the Hoarding of Gold Coin, Gold Bullion, and Gold Certificates within the continental United States." The President, Congress and the Judiciary, acting in conspiracy against the American People, made the act of “paying with money” a felony and substituted “paying with money” with “discharging” debts by implementing Chap. 48, 48 Stat. 112 (H.J. Res. 192, June 5, 1933).

11The Laws and governance today

• 1Laws like Title 18 are not valid for the American People because they are corporate rules and procedures and only apply to Federal corporate employees.
• 2The U.S. Corporation has enforcement without the approval of the American People.
• 3The Banks are all sub-corporations of the Central Banks of Europe.
• 4The Banks do not follow rule of law and also do not follow corporate rules and procedures.
• 5Common law and de jure laws are ignored and replaced with courts that are corporations for profit using commercial rules and procedures without concern for the American People and are only concerned with making a profit.

12The de jure Republican Form of Government has been re-inhabited under the Constitution in law.

• 1 The de jure Republican Form of Government was re-inhabited in 2010.
• 2 The Constitution for the United States of America was continued, beginning in 2010.
• 3 The de jure Republican Form of Government continued the form of law (in a unanimous document called the Declaration of Sovereign Intent or DSI) as was used in the creation of the Constitution of the United States of America based on:
  • c.i. The Common Law of God based on the Holy Bible
  • c.ii. The Declaration of Independence
  • c.iii. The Constitution of the United States of America
  • c.iv. The Bill of Rights
• 4 All things belonging to the American People and all the States were accepted in union and now referred to as the Republic for the United States of America.
• 5 All was done according to Law and the Laws up to 1871. The Constitution cannot be ignored with the de jure government re-inhabited.

• 1An understanding of the Lawful actions of the Republic for the United States of America in the re-inhabitation process.
• 2Recognition of the lawful government of the United States of America re-inhabited known now as the Republic for the United States of America.
• 3Recognition of the corporation that has unlawfully acted as the government of the United States.
• 4All enforcement must be relinquished back to the American People.
• 5The de jure laws (up to 1871) must be used by all courts along with common law and must be re-established and recognized as the rule of law.

• 1Courts must be converted to de jure under the Constitution and jurisdiction re-established.
• 2Enforcement must be returned under the rule of law.
• 3Banking must be corrected under the rule of law.
• 4The monetary system must be corrected and be Constitutional and lawful.
• 5Then, rebuild the United States economy back to the great nation that it once was.

Assumptions for the purposes of this presentation:

All parties agree that the Constitution of the United States is the supreme Law of the Land and that all authority, power and duty to act is defined BY the Constitution and that ALL considered resolutions shall be done in Pursuance of the Constitution and Laws of the United States; and

All definitions of words used come from their USE in the Constitution and the Laws of the United States made in Pursuance thereof that BE NOT CONTRARY. When the words are not defined in the body of the Constitution, the Statutes at Large or the Laws of the United States the author uses definitions from Scripture and the Noah Webster 1828 Dictionary; and

Organic Law for the United States is the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the Northwest Ordinance, the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights; and

In order to understand the Constitution and Pursuant Laws IN CONTEXT one must CONSIDER the paradigm of the Founders based on their personal letters, quotes and debates of Congress and official addresses and prayers. The Founders paradigm includes, to no small extent, the teachings of the Holy Scriptures and that they were classically taught men (studied philosophy, government, law, etc… of previous societies); and

The audience of this presentation is familiar with the timeline of events and basic history of the United States and its governance; that proves that the current (de facto) government of the United States IS a FOR PROFIT CORPORATION. Likewise, the States, all Courts, administrative agencies, at least SOME law enforcement and the Departments of the Military are FOR PROFIT PRIVATE COMPANIES as proven out by Dun & Bradstreet and can be readily found on manta.com. Additionally, most cities, towns and other local municipalities are FOR PROFIT CORPORATIONS; and

Authority is the RIGHT to rule and act; and Power in governance is a specific delegated DUTY or RESPONSIBILITY and AT ALL TIMES ANSWERS to the lawful AUTHORITY; and

Authority can be delegated; and

The Founders considered their STANDING (Authority) to be God-given and that governance is instituted among men to SECURE THEIR RIGHTS (To Rule and to Act) and that governance among free men can only be successful if the governance derives its just powers by the Consent of the governed (The Lawful Authority – those with unalienable Rights); and

God is THE Creator, THE Almighty, THE Sovereign and that He gave men Dominion (Sovereign Authority) and the Duty (Power) to subdue the earth; and

We the People ARE to the Constitution as God is to Creation; The CREATOR thereof. The Constitution IS to the government as God is to Creation; the CREATOR. NO delegated power or authority CAN BE LAWFULLY EXECUTED outside of the AUTHORITY of the governed as DELEGATED by the Consent of the governed. That is done in a republican form of governance BY Constitution and the Pursuant Laws. The Laws CANNOT be Contrary and NO LAW of any STATE holds a superior position to the Constitution once it was ratified.

The governance of the United States has been overthrown by a global corporate structure. In the United States, it appears that efforts to undermine the Constitution started from the onset and those that worked to abide in their oaths were systematically outvoted, voted out or eliminated through the work of this global corporate cabal.

The most significant legislation that has been uncovered and evaluated to date occurred on and around the decade surrounding the Civil War. In 1862 the Congress passed a resolution adopting a new oath that when compared to the original oaths to the Congress made the Congress civil officers rather than representatives of the People as was originally designed. In 1871 at least two significant pieces of legislation were enacted that established the District of Columbia as a SEPARATE new government and was incorporated as a municipal corporation with components of the Constitution UNDER the corporate structure and within a week a piece of legislation that adopted a definition in law that made persons equal to bodies politic and corporate. Subsequent laws only made the situation worse and have developed into what we are SUBJECT to today through adhesion contracts, intimidation, duress, propaganda and the like. The corporate structure has penetrated virtually every aspect of our lives, including the Church, the Courts, law enforcement and the Military. Again, one need only type in “The Supreme Court of the United States or United States Supreme Court, the Department of the Army, The State of ______________ and/or the names of specific Officers that have been elected into manta.com to FIND that they are LISTED as PRIVATE COMPANIES. The three letter agencies, which have been mostly enacted by legislation and executive order, are all PRIVATE COMPANIES with locations throughout every State.

There has been a concerted effort to deceive the American People by usurping our educational system, utilizing propaganda perpetuated through our “trusted” news agencies and our Churches. The end result is that the American People are grossly suffering from lack of KNOWLEDGE. Lack of KNOWLEDGE leads to Unbelief. Unbelief exists in two essential categories: not having knowledge of the TRUTH (The Truth will set you free) or failing to be persuaded by the TRUTH due to duress, programming and indoctrination, sentimentality, etc… Essentially, the American People do not understand WHO they are in the eyes of God (The TRUE Sovereign) nor do they understand WHO they are UNDER the Constitution. Without the accurate KNOWLEDGE of WHO you are one cannot possibly understand what AUTHORITY one HAS UNDER the Constitution. Additionally, the United States corporate structure has put into play many programs, incentives, systems that utilize threats of force to perpetuate this situation.

During the Civil War the southern States seceded, which according to the Articles of Confederation was not a lawful act. UNDER the Constitution, the Militia would be called up to “execute the laws” in those jurisdictions and to put down the “Domestic Violence” perpetrated in the attempt to overthrow the lawful Authority. As the Domestic Violence was supported by the People of those States and the southern States held their own elections and established a government FOREIGN to the Constitution it became a matter of National issue in that the PROPERTY of the United States was TAKEN outside of due process of Law, among other things.

The details of that war are not the focus of this presentation. The USE of the Military in that situation IS because in contrast to our present circumstances the People of the southern States SUPPORTED with FULL KNOWLEDGE the efforts of the Confederacy to destroy the union. That was TREASON and led to a war to RECLAIM the lands that belonged to the United States. In our present circumstances, the People of the United States are NOT acting with FULL KNOWLEDGE of the de facto governments efforts to overthrow the government of the United States. Certainly, there ARE some People that DO understand and are in agreement with the de facto government’s conduct BECAUSE they benefit in some way from those actions. However, this does not make what is being done LAWFUL.

Another important aspect is that the Union Army was acting UNDER the Lawful Authority and answered to the President during this time. At present, the Lawful Authority has been RECLAIMED but is not completely RESTORED. This is important to understand because without a Lawful Authority the Military has no POWER to act. It must be done BY the Consent of the governed and the AUTHORITY that the People gave consent to (The Constitution) is FOREIGN TO the corporation.

It appears that the People, for the most part, are content to CONTEND with the corporation to UPHOLD their Rights which DO NOT exist in the corporation’s jurisdiction. The purpose of a FOR PROFIT company is to MAKE MONEY FOR THE BENEFIT of the corporation’s owners, NOT TO UPHOLD THE RIGHTS OF THE GOVERNED. And, to be plain, the use of the word “governed” as it applies to today is more accurately stated as “enslaved.”

Likewise, the Militia, according to the Constitution, is a LAWFUL civil law enforcement force called into action by the Governor, or President for a national issue, which is outfitted, trained, supplied and organized UNDER the Constitutions of the several States and the Congress when it applies to national issues. Again, at present, the lawful Authority, although not without Power, is NOT completely staffed NOR do the People of the United States have KNOWLEDGE that it has been RECLAIMED and is in the process of being staffed according to the Constitution.

The moving parts of the solution are first of all the People, they must be offered the KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH as it pertains to their God-given Rights and their AUTHORITY UNDER the Constitution; next, the system of governance must be staffed by those who HAVE KNOWLEDGE of the Constitution and the lawful use of the Powers delegated to those who have been duly chosen and sworn to SERVE the People FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE PEOPLE. Those who are currently elected by the People SERVE the SHAREHOLDERS of the various corporate entities, NOT THE PEOPLE; next, the Militia must be organized UNDER the Constitution where like the Military it derives its JUST POWERS. Just as Jesus said, without me you can do NOTHING, so it IS with the Constitution! NO POWER in governance CAN BE lawfully executed OUTSIDE of the Constitution. The Militia AND the Military are both FUNCTIONS of governance UNDER the Constitution. Without the Constitution there is NO lawful Power to ACT.

There is ONLY ONE lawful solution regardless of our affiliations. The solution involves rallying the American People around the governance system as established and ratified UNDER the Constitution. That includes the Churches, the Militias, the Military and, at some point, the support of the international community. The key to this is UNITY. The main reason the People suffer is that the enemy is absolutely united in their efforts to DISTORT the TRUTH. Once the People UNDERSTAND the Truth, it will be plain WHO is on WHAT side and by their FRUIT they will be graded.

No one part of the governance structure has MORE Authority than the other parts. Any perceived Authority or Power that might “appear” is SITUATIONAL and NOT absolute. Office holders ARE delegated specific duties and responsibilities that place them in a position to make decisions that affect the People, in part or in the whole.

The Republic for the United States of America has lawfully RECLAIMED the governance system that was set aside (abandoned) by the corporation. This re-inhabited Republic is the key to UNITY. I n short, the Republic for the United States of America is the lawful civil authority for this country. We are the key component to the solution and we seek to collaborate and share the information that we have verified and validated in the Statutes at Large, the personal correspondence and reflections of the Founders and the evidence against the corporate actors as they pertain to the Constitution.

We have no doubt that the American People will rally around their Republic. We are reaching out to other groups of like-minded People to CONSIDER and VALIDATE for themselves the information and conclusions that we present BASED upon the Constitution. As the Founders considered their AUTHORITY TO ACT a RIGHT GIVEN by God, we MUST, even though the government cannot enact ANY law establishing or denying the Right to Religious Freedom, consider the FAITH of the Founders as a CONDITION, if nothing else, that MUST be incorporated into the UNDERSTANDING of the force and function of the Constitution and Pursuant Laws. Your social organization, church, agency, corporation MUST come to the aid of the Constitution and the Founders in UNITY so that your respective People within your group UNDERSTAND their Authority UNDER the Constitution. This is the same for the Military and the Militia. We must act in UNITY! We cannot be divided over any of the classifications that the U.S. Corporation has thrust upon us to DIVIDE us! We must set aside politics, religion, ethnicity, economics and ALL other THINGS that divide us and come together to SUPPORT THE CONSTITUTION, which is the original oath for ALL public servants and when carefully studied the DUTY of every American!

We seek an alliance with ALL like-minded People of America to complete the RESTORATION of the lawful governance system UNDER the Constitution and to prepare the People for a national election as well as State elections to complete the transition back to a republican form of governance. In UNITY, and IN PRAYER, just as our Founders DID, we CAN finish this work! We pledge our allegiance TO the Republic and to ALL like-minded People.
