"The ZIP Code Issue:" "Excerpts from a Personal Letter" by Howard Freeman November 11, 1988 Your letter asks for information on the ZIP Code pursuant to something that appeared in the Justice Times some time ago. I wish I had in my possession the article you refer to, so that I could have some idea of what you already know, and could just fill in the details of what you do not understand, but I do not have that article, so I'll try to make the "ZIP Code Issue" clear to you. There are two entities, or nations, called "The United States". One is the union of 50 independent States combined into a 3-branch (Legislative, Executive & Judicial) Republican Form of government under a contract called: The Constitution of the United States of America. The Other is a 1-branch (Legislative) Democracy, which arises out of the Constitutional Contract wherein Congress (the Legislative Branch of the 3-branch Republic) was given Exclusive rule over a body of people known as: The Residents of the District of Columbia. It should be obvious to anyone that, when a governing body (in this case Congress) has "exclusive" rule over a people, you have a nation. So, in America, we have a small nation, operating upon Roman Civil Law principles, within a larger nation which operates upon the principles of the Common Law, and is limited in its powers and authority by the Constitutional Contract. I could spend the rest of the day explaining the differences between Roman Civil Law and the Common Law, but instead I will enclose a tape with this letter to you, which will do that for me. Please do me the honor of listening to this tape on both sides. Many people reply, upon my inquiry about the tape I sent to them, that they are too busy to listen to it, which remark I consider somewhat insulting to me, when I have gone to the expense and trouble of getting it into their hands. As you know, the Republic called The United States, is limited in what it can do by the Constitution, and that Constitution limited its Congress to coining money out of silver or gold, and limited its borrowing power to those two commodities. The Legislative Democracy called: The United States, using the same Congress as the Republic, only for its own ends, has no limitation of any kind on what it might or might not do, since Congress, working in behalf of the Legislative Party or Democracy, has the power and authority to issue a paper currency, and to declare it to be a "legal tender" for all debt public and private. That Congress had no limitation in what it might borrow either! So the National Debt that you hear so much about, came from that Congress's power to borrow other than silver or gold, which was bank credit from the International Banking Houses. The Zip Code Issue by Howard Freeman: Page 1 of 3 A Problem: What can the Bankers do? Easy solution, since their money controls the news media: keep the citizens of the Republic in the dark, get the lawyers busy, and figure ways of entrapment, so that the Citizens of the Republic would think that it was THEIR Congress that borrowed the bank credit, and that it is their problem to pay the usury on that debt. Steps of Legal Trickery follow: 1. The 14th Amendment, which is based upon Roman Civil Law, supposedly replaced the 4th Amendment, which is based upon the Common Law. That aspect of things is explained on the tape enclosed, so I won't go into it here. 2. Have the Congress of the Republic fail in its duty to provide a medium of exchange for its Citizens, thus forcing them to do their trading in the "Legal Tender" paper which the Congress of the Legislative Democracy has made available. I will skip a few other steps here, and get to the meat of the information you want, which concerns the ZIP Code issue. 3. The Congress of the Republic must be enticed to consolidate 50 independent States into 10, not so independent, Federal Regions. (What Congress creates, Congress can control, is a legal principle.) Now, the same Congress that rules the Legislative Democracy may rule the 10 Federal Regions, provided the citizens thereof can be kept asleep, and not claim their rights under the Federal and State Constitutional Contracts. 4. Have the Post Office Department separate itself from the Republic and, in its new independence, create two-letter abbreviations for all States (contrary to the lawful State abbreviations established by the Legislatures of most States) and have the Post Office Department require this new abbreviation on all subsidized mail, and suggest it on all first class mail, along with the ZIP Code. 5. Page 11 of the ZIP Code Directory, which can be found in any Post Office, will tell you that the first digit of every ZIP Code number indicates the Federal Region in which the user resides. 6. Now that the majority of the brainwashed public, belonging to the Republic, are educated to employ the two-letter abbreviations for their State, which abbreviations were never adopted by the State Legislatures as the lawful State abbreviations, those using said abbreviation are not making a lawful claim of their State residency and, with the use of the ZIP code in connection with the new two-letter State abbreviation, they are making a lawful claim that they are residents of the particular Federal Region in which they reside, so they can now be ruled under Roman Civil Law and tried in the Admiralty Courts of the Legislative Democracy.

With all of that in place, the Income Tax, which is employed to pay the Usury on the National Debt owed by the Legislative Democracy, now applies to the Citizens of the Republic who fail to properly claim and establish their rights as Citizens of their respective States. 8. It is made to appear "Progressive" in our Schools to refer to America as a "Democracy", and somewhat "Reactionary" to study the State and National Constitutions in our schools. This keeps the public ignorant of the fact that the Congress of the "Republic" is limited by Contract from passing any penal statute of compelled performance upon the Citizens of any State. The Internal Revenue Code is all that type of statute, and those statutes ONLY apply to the residents of the District of Columbia (see Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the U.S. Constitution) and also to all those who stupidly fail to claim their State residency and allow themselves to be given to the status of citizens of the United States (meaning the Legislative Democracy) claiming themselves to be residents of a Federal Region which is ruled over by the Democracy under Roman Civil Law. The above is all needed information if you are to understand the ZIP Code issue. I hope that I have not worn you out with my explanation, as I have done with others, who ask me questions of depth, and who only want some shallow, one-sentence reply. One other caution before I close: The ZIP Code use, or non use, is NOT a "silver bullet" solution to all problems, wherein the Legislative Democracy, called the United States, forces itself upon you. The enclosed tape will point out other solutions. To properly handle oneself in order to keep out of Legislative Article I Courts exercising Legislative Power, and into the Article III Courts of the Republic which exercise Judicial Power, is another whole study in itself. Again, let me repeat: There Are No Silver Bullets for those who claim to be too busy to study! The Zip Code Issue by Howard Freeman: Page 3 of 3 # # #
