The most surreal thing about all this hatred is that it is over the most trivial things, I`m just not able to comprehend or understand the reasons or motivation behind all this useless hatred, division and misdirected anger.

To respond to the "sovereign citizen"- like theories of the rest of your post, I will need a little more rest and a little more alcohol. But perhaps, some kind soul will come and help me out.
No, the government of the United States was not incorporated in Delaware in 1871. Delaware is an incorporation magnet, a huge number of corporations are technically based there. They can pick any name they choose. I seem to remember at least half a dozen with United States of America as part of their title, and none of them were founded by prominent government officials of the time.edit on 6-9-2012 by charles1952 because: (no reason given)
I'll have to swallow my pride and vote for one of two - or write in another option from a pool of more, nearly as or just as corrupt options.
Mind you, the corporation has NO jurisdiction outside of the District of Columbia.
The great number of committees and sub-committees that the Congress has created all work together like a multi-headed monster to oversee the various corporate "departments." And, you should know that every single one of these that operates outside the District of Columbia is in violation of the law.
The corporate UNITED STATES also holds ownership of all your assets, your property, and even your children. Does this sound untrue?
Capitalization — an insignificant change? Not when one is referring to the context of a legal document, it isn't.

Dear frazzle,
Try to keep me away from my bottle, will you? Not a chance. You're dealing with a desperate man. And who wouldn't be, after reading from your first link:

Desperation is not conducive to clear headed thinking.
I do know jurisdiction is supposedly limited to the district. It doesn't stop their outreach into your home and life, though, does it? No federal court would hold them accountable for going outside their alleged bounds because the courts are administrative, answerable only to the corporation.

Dear frazzle,
Excuse me, but if no court has ever ruled against "them," and never will, isn't that pretty much the end of the discussion? We can say something is illegal, but if no court ever does, then what's the point? I know you're not talking about armed resistance, or are you?
With respect,
Charles1952

Who, in good conscience, can vote for any of the presidential candidates whose names will appear on an American ballot in the year of somebody’s lord, 2012. In the overall scheme of things to come, it simply doesn’t matter

If it doesn't matter, why are you concerned about it?
I have often wondered this about the crowd who say, "It's all rigged anyway. It doesn't matter. So DON'T VOTE!!!"
If that's true (and I don't believe it is) then why do you care?
If the vote is rigged, why is the GOP so intently focused on limiting who gets to vote? Why all the voter ID laws? It doesn't make sense.
Gary Johnson will be on the ballot in all states....just sayin'. I'd say he is the only choice, If I want to walk away with a clear conscience.
