Citizen vs citizen
By birth, we are each a Citizen of the State of California,
or a Citizen of the State of Arizona, or a Citizen of whatever
Union State wherein we were born and, at the same time, we are
all Citizens of the United States of America, and are not subject
to any Acts of Congress, other than the 18 powers specifically
enumerated in the Constitution for the United States of America.
People who are born, or who reside, within the federal District
of Columbia, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the
Northern Mariana Islands, any territory, on any naval base or
dockyard, within forts, or within insular possessions, are called
U.S. citizens and are subject to Acts of Congress. Within the
law, words have meanings that are not the same meanings that are
accepted in common usage. Our Constitution is the Constitution
for the United States of America. The U.S. Constitution is the
Constitution of Puerto Rico.
1040 for "Aliens"
A form 1040 is the income tax return for a nonresident alien
citizen of the U.S. Virgin Islands, residing within one of the 50
States of the several States in the Union known as the United
States of America. If you volunteer that you are a U.S. citizen,
you have become a U.S. citizen. If you write or print your name
on a line labeled "taxpayer," you have become a taxpayer. Since
these forms are affidavits which you submit under penalty of
perjury, you commit a crime every time you fill one out and sign,
stating that you are what you are not. The federal government is
delighted by your ignorance, and will gladly accept your returns
and your money. As proof, refer to the Virgin Islands Tax Guide,
which states:
"All references to the District Director or to the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue should be interpreted to
mean the Director of the Virgin Islands Bureau of Internal
Revenue. All references to the Internal Revenue Service,
the Federal depository and similar references should be
interpreted as the BIR, and so forth. Any questions in
interpreting Federal forms for use in the Virgin Islands
should be referred to the BIR."

while i basically agree with you, sizzle, we do however, need some type of order to function in a civilized way. yes, there are people that are going to take advantage of that and profit from it. but we can't walk around all the time with guns and take out people who we think have screwed us. so we have to relie on some type of law and order. and i think that when some of the extreme measures were tried as you have pointed out in some of your conclusions, they have ended up in court and cooler heads have prevailed. but it doesn't mean that we as a nation should let down our guard. common sense still can win out over irrationallity. good post

Impeachment
Impeachment, in the U.S. and Great Britain, proceeding by a legislature for the removal from office of a public official charged with misconduct in office. Impeachment comprises both the act of formulating the accusation and the resulting trial of the charges; it is frequently but erroneously taken to mean only the removal from office of an accused public official. An impeachment trial may result in either an acquittal or in a verdict of guilty. In the latter case the impeached official is removed from office; if the charges warrant such action, the official is also remanded to the proper authorities for trial before a court.

When it comes right down to it, what are you going to do, short of some type revolution or uprising. And on that note, I think the guv has gotten everyone much too complacent for that (or most people) not ALL.

Do you really know what you are doing when you sign your child's birth certificate at the hospital? Read this:
Today, almost all mothers, black or white, unknowingly inform on their own babies. Take a look at the so-called "Birth Certificate" CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH where the mother signs and you will see the title of the box stating in small print:
"MOTHER OR OTHER INFORMANT". The word "OTHER" makes the mother "an informant."
No, seriously. That's on there because sometimes mothers die while giving birth, or if the Father (or Doctor) would have to sign.

I gave my source. Now, how about you give us yours.
How about it?
A signature shall be procured consistent with the following priorities:
1. 'Mother' or both 'Parents' are the preferred informant(s).
2. If mother is not available, then 'Father' is the next preferred informant.
3. If mother and father are not available, then the hospital administrator in charge of the birth registration unit is the next preferred informant.
Birth certificate preparers should make a reasonable effort to obtain a parent signature within 10 days of the birth. When a hospital administrator signs as informant, it is recommended that a notation be filed with the child's medical record, or other filing system, that indicates the reason
why a parent signature could not be obtained.
Description of informant. The current list of eligible informants reads, in order of preference
(1) In all cases - mother
(2) Father - if he is married to mother
(3) Father and mother jointly where they are not married to one another
(4) A person present at the birth
(5) The owner or occupier of the house or institution
(6) The person in charge of the child

Legal or Illegal
All legal actions are pursued under
the "color of law"
Color of law means
"appears to be" law, but is not
"Because of what appears to be lawful commands on the surface, many Citizens, because of their respect for what appears to be law, are cunningly coerced into waiving their rights due to ignorance."
--United States Supreme Court in US. v. Minker ,
350 US 179 at 187 (1956)
This, 'color of law' stated here, has my attention. I intend to look into this further.
True, there can be no penalty incurred for contempt before there is a judicial order of enforcement. But the subpoena is in form an official command, and even though improvidently issued it has some coercive tendency, either because of ignorance of their rights on the part of those whom it purports to command or their natural respect for what appears to be an official command, or because of their reluctance to test the subpoena's validity by litigation."
