Subject: SLS: The Informer

Alfred,

The Informer made a lot of crucial mistakes
in his book, notably his lack of consistency
with respect to the meaning of "includes"
and "including."  I attempted to air these
inconsistencies in "The Federal Zone,"
by way of showing how different authors are
coming to different conclusions about basic
rules of construction, and their application
to the Internal Revenue Code.  After I published
"The Federal Zone," the Informer seemed to turn
towards radicalism, promoting the idea that the
Constitution is a scam, and citizenship is an
even worse scam.   After going through the
pertinent citizenship cases with great care,
I have come to believe that the following
convention is proper, notwithstanding whatever
the Informer may have written in his book,
which is now obsolete in many places:

1.  Citizen of Arizona state     (notice use of capital letters)
2.  citizen of the United States (notice use of capital letters)

The "C"/"c" convention is found in bona fide copies of
the U.S. Constitution.  See the qualifications for
serving in the House, Senate, and White House, and
compare with Section 1 of the so-called 14th amendment.

I use two quick tests to determine if a copy of the
U.S. Constitution is bona fide:  (1) the "C" in 
"Citizen of the United States" at 1:2:2, 1:3:3,
and 2:1:5 is a Capital "C", and  (2) the Bill of Rights
has a Preamble of its own, in addition to the main
Preamble.

The Federal Zone contains an essay on the mathematical
probability that all uses of the term "citizen" would
be in lower-case "c" by chance, in the IRC;  
that probability is zero.

The "S"/"s" convention comes out of an obscure regulation
which Clinton has ordered removed from federal depository
libraries.  See if you can still find 31 CFR 51.2 and 52.2
on the Internet.  Here, the de facto corporate States are
use Capital "S";  the de jure state republics use a 
small "s".

Since there are two and only two classes of citizenship
in America, there is no other citizenship which is
currently recognized in American Law never repealed.
(Read that again!)

The term "national" and its derivatives all suffer from the
fact that they are not grounded (or used) in the Constitution,
and thus it is subject to legislative whims.  The Constitution,
as you know, is not subject to legislative whims, and the 
meaning of the terms used is perpetual, unless amended
pursuant to Article V.  Thus, "American National" should
be avoided, if at all possible.  Let Patriots admit they
made a mistake, and move on.  We should not be debating
how many angels can dance on a pin (that problem has
already been solved).

If you look in Black's under "Right"/"Constitutional Rights",
you will find "Political rights" [sic].  Read what is 
defined under "Political rights", and you will be delighted
to learn that the choice of citizenship is a political 
right.  It is also known as the Right of Election, pursuant
to the Tenth Amendment.  Two classes of citizenship,
in light of the Right of Election, combine to create
four (4) cases:

  1.  citizen of the United States, not a Citizen of any state
  2.  not a citizen of the United States, a Citizen of a state
  3.  citizen of the United States, a Citizen of a state
  4.  not a citizen of the United States, not a Citizen of any state

Case 2 is the most interesting, because people in this "class"
cannot be indicted by federal grand juries or convicted by
federal trial juries.  For details, read "Juries in Check
Around the Nation" in the Supreme Law Library at URL:

  http://www.supremelaw.com

While browsing the stacks there (splendor in the stacks?)
check out the essay "State Citizens Cannot Vote" which
covers some of the same ground, from a different angle.

The bottom line is this:  state Citizens cannot vote,
they cannot serve on grand juries, and they cannot 
serve on trial juries.  Thus, they are being taxed
without representation, which is a clear violation
of the Declaration of Independence, which remains
organic, fundamental Law in America.

Good night.  Do keep up the good work.  You have
distinguished yourself as a unique and valuable
scholar, in my opinion.
