As for the claim that some conspiracy theorists make, pointing to a corporate entity registered in Delaware as "proof" that the United States is a corporation. This claim often refers to a specific entity named "United States Corporation Company" or something similar, which is or was registered in Delaware.

Here's why this claim does not hold up to scrutiny:

1. Corporate Naming: Just because a private entity chooses a name that includes the words "United States" does not mean it has any connection to the federal government. Corporations can choose a wide variety of names, provided they comply with the naming laws of the jurisdiction in which they are registered.

2. Lack of Legal Connection: There is no legal connection between the U.S. federal government and a private corporation registered in Delaware or any other state with a name resembling "United States Corporation Company." The existence of such a corporation does not change the constitutional structure or legal status of the U.S. government.

3. Misunderstanding of Corporate Law: The claim misunderstands how corporate law works. Corporations are legal entities that can be formed by individuals or other corporations for various purposes, such as conducting business or holding assets. The existence of a corporation with a particular name does not imply any broader legal or governmental structure.

4. Constitutional Federal Republic: The United States operates as a constitutional federal republic, not a corporation. Its governance structure is defined by the U.S. Constitution, and its legal status is well-established in law and history.

The existence of a corporation registered in Delaware with a name that includes "United States" is not evidence of any broader conspiracy or hidden legal structure. It's a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of corporate law and does not provide any support for the claim that the United States is a corporation.

Now then, let’s look at the next smoking gun section, section 16;

Section 16.

And be it further enacted, That the District shall never pay, assume, or become responsible for the debts or liabilities of, or in any manner give, loan, or extend its credit to or in aid of any public or other corporation, association, or individual.

Almost seems as if Congress at the time knew the possibility of something like what the US corporation theory speculates could happen, and specifically inserted language to prevent it. Insane right!?

Here’s a detailed breakdown:

1.Prohibition on Assuming Debts:

This section explicitly prohibits the District of Columbia from paying, assuming, or becoming responsible for the debts or liabilities of any corporation, association, or individual. This is a clear legal boundary that separates the financial responsibilities of the District from those of other entities.

2.Restriction on Extending Credit:

The section also forbids the District from giving, loaning, or extending its credit to aid any public or private corporation, association, or individual. This reinforces the autonomy of the District’s financial management and ensures that it does not become entangled in the financial affairs of other entities.

3.Local Scope:

Like previous sections, this provision applies specifically to the government of the District of Columbia. It does not have broader implications for the structure or nature of the U.S. government as a whole.

4.Contradiction to Corporate Theory:

By explicitly prohibiting the District from assuming or extending credit to other corporations, this section contradicts the notion that the U.S. itself could be a corporation owned or controlled by other entities. The legal language is clear and unambiguous in maintaining the independence and integrity of the District’s financial responsibilities.

Section 16 of the Organic Act of 1871 further undermines the claim that the United States is a corporation by setting clear financial boundaries for the District of Columbia. It emphasizes the District’s autonomy and responsibility in managing its own financial affairs, separate from other corporations or entities.

The specific and targeted nature of this provision, along with its clear legal language, leaves no room for interpretations that would support the erroneous claim that the United States is a corporation. It stands as a testament to the principles of financial integrity and independence that are foundational to the U.S. system of government.

Let’s move onto the next smoking gun section,

Section 9:

“And be it further enacted, That members of the legislative assembly, before they enter upon their official duties, shall take and subscribe the following oath or affirmation: " I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States, and will faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about about to enter; and that I have not knowingly, or intentionally paid or contributed anything, or made any promise in the nature of a bribe, to, directly or indirectly influence any vote at the election, at which I was chosen to fill the city office, and have not excepted, nor will I accept, or receive, directly, or indirectly, any money, or other valuable thing for any vote, or influence that I may give or withhold on any bill, resolution, or appropriation, or for any other office act.” Any member, who shall refuse to take the oath hearing prescribed, shall forfeit his office, and every person who shall be convicted of having sworn falsely to, or of violating his, said, oath, shall forfeit his office, and be disqualified thereafter from holding any office or profit or trust in set district and shall be, deemed guilty of perjury, and upon conviction shall be punished accordingly.”

Here’s a detailed breakdown:

1.Oath to Support the U.S. Constitution:

The section mandates that members of the legislative assembly for the District of Columbia must swear an oath to support the Constitution of the United States. This is a clear affirmation of the supremacy of the U.S. Constitution over the local government of the District, and it aligns with the principles of federalism that underpin the U.S. governmental system.

2.Ethical Conduct:

The oath also includes a commitment to ethical conduct, including a rejection of bribery and corruption. This reflects the democratic values that are foundational to the U.S. system of government and is consistent with the principles of public service and integrity.

3.Penalties for Violation:

The section outlines penalties for refusing to take the oath or for violating it, including forfeiture of office and disqualification from holding future office. This reinforces the seriousness of the oath and the commitment to upholding the Constitution and laws of the United States.

4.Local Scope:

Like Section 1, this section pertains specifically to the government of the District of Columbia. It does not have broader implications for the structure or nature of the U.S. government as a whole.

Section 9 of the Organic Act of 1871 further dismantles the notion that the U.S. is a corporation by emphasizing the primacy of the U.S. Constitution and the ethical duties of public officeholders within the District of Columbia. It reinforces the continuity and integrity of the U.S. constitutional system and underscores the local and limited scope of the Act.

There has been much speculation on the Organic Act of 1871, and that it somehow put the United States in a corporate status. I am going to post this organic act, word for word, and break down each section and show how the US in fact NOT a corporation.

Section 1, Section 9 and Section 16 are smoking gun sections that completely shatters this theory to shreds… Let’s look at and break down section 1:

CHAP. LXII. -
An Act to provide a Government for the District of Columbia.

Section 1:

“Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That all that part of the terri lory of the United States included within the limits of the District of Columbia be, and the same is hereby, created into a government by the name of the District of Columbia, by which name it is hereby constituted a body corporate for municipal purposes, and may contract and be contracted with, sue and be sued, plead and be impleaded, have a seal, and exercise all other powers of a municipal corporation not inconsistent with the Constitution and laws of the United States and the provisions of this act.”

1.Scope of the Act:

The language clearly states that the Act pertains solely to the territory within the limits of the District of Columbia. It does not extend to the entire United States, and thus cannot be construed as transforming the entire nation into a corporation.

2.Creation of a Municipal Corporation:

The Act establishes the District of Columbia as a “body corporate for municipal purposes.” This is a legal term referring to the creation of a local government entity with certain powers, such as the ability to enter into contracts and to sue and be sued. It does not imply the creation of a commercial corporation in the sense that is often associated with the term.

Title 1, Section 1 of the United States Code states:

In determining the meaning of any Act of Congress, unless the context indicates otherwise [...] the words "county," "municipality," "township," "town," "city," "school district," "municipal corporation," or "political subdivision" include every incorporated place, whether incorporated as a city, town, village, or otherwise, and a county or parish, including a city and county having a consolidated city and county government, and any agency, department, division, or instrumentality thereof.   

3.Consistency with the Constitution:

The Act explicitly states that the powers granted to the District of Columbia must not be “inconsistent with the Constitution and laws of the United States.” This reinforces the subordination of the District’s government to the federal Constitution, negating any notion that the Act somehow supersedes or alters the fundamental structure of the U.S. government.

4.Municipal Purposes:

The reference to “municipal purposes” further underscores the local and limited nature of the Act. It is concerned with governance at the city level, not with the transformation of the national government into a corporate entity.

Section 1 of the Organic Act of 1871 serves as a “smoking gun” that refutes the claim that the U.S. is a corporation by clearly delineating the limited scope and purpose of the Act. It establishes a form of local government for the District of Columbia, consistent with the U.S. Constitution, and does not in any way imply or enact a transformation of the United States into a commercial corporation. The language of the Act is precise and unambiguous, leaving no room for the speculative interpretations that have given rise to this misconception.

**"Voyage of the Patriots: A Symphony of Liberty"

In the land of the brave, the home of the free,
Where dreams take flight and hope finds its decree,
Stands a truth often overlooked, yet profound,
The heartbeat of the nation, with a steady sound.

Not on the battlefield, where heroes fight,
But in civic duty, a beacon of light,
For without the voice of the people, so true,
The soldier's valor would have no value.

Patriots rise, an insurgency's might,
In political warfare, they fight the good fight,
Strategizing, planning, with purpose and aim,
Empowering hearts with a patriot's flame.

For in the local, seeds of impact are sown,
When precision and passion together are shown,
The art of political action, a force to behold,
More potent than the mightiest sea, bold.

A symphony of minds, an orchestra of will,
Uniting for a cause, the nation to fulfill,
In this dance of liberty, a powerful embrace,
As patriots envision a brighter, freer space.

With military precision, they chart their course,
In the pursuit of justice, they stay the course,
For planning, execution, and honor they stand,
A testament to the strength of freedom's hand.

Through trials and storms, they press on, unbowed,
Guided by values, their principles avowed,
With each step, America's future they carve,
In the face of adversity, their resilience to starve.

Let not the dread of apathy abide,
For in unity, our strength will reside,
With hearts ablaze, our voices strong,
We'll write history's enduring song.

America, a nation forged by the brave,
Depends on its citizens, steadfast and grave,
So rise, patriots, with passion and might,
For liberty's triumph begins with your light.

"Unity of Effort" among citizens would mean that they are collectively working towards the common goal of holding their local government accountable and reinforcing transparency. This could involve activities such as attending city council meetings, staying informed about local issues, participating in local elections, or organizing around specific causes. The key here is that all citizens are directing their efforts towards the same objective.

"Unified Action" among citizens would then refer to the coordinated actions taken by citizens to achieve these goals. This could involve launching a petition for a new policy, organizing a peaceful protest, or creating a community watchdog group to monitor local elections.
The actions taken by different citizens or groups are synchronized and integrated as part of a coherent plan.

If there's a divide among the citizens, it could disrupt both Unity of Effort and Unified Action.

For example, if some citizens believe the best way to hold the government accountable is using the military to cease power, while others believe it should be done by the people through legal channels, this could lead to a lack of Unity of Effort. Similarly, if different citizen groups take actions that are not coordinated or even conflict with each other, this could disrupt Unified Action.

A divided citizenry could lead to a less effective push for government accountability and transparency. It could result in mixed messages being sent to the local government, diluting the impact of citizens' efforts.

It could also lead to conflict among citizens, further distracting from the goal of government accountability.

To maintain Unity of Effort and Unified Action, citizens must communicate and coordinate with each other, to respect different perspectives and approaches, and to work together towards their common goals.

Fact 8 - Corporation, Government and Municipal Corporations
A corporation, a government, and a municipal corporation are all distinct entities, each with its own unique characteristics and functions.

1. Corporation:
A corporation is a legal entity created by individuals, stockholders, or shareholders, with the purpose of conducting business. It operates according to its articles of incorporation and bylaws, with a defined structure that includes a board of directors and officers. Its primary goal is to generate profits for its shareholders.

2. Government:
A government is a system or group of people governing an organized community, often a state. In the case of the United States, the federal government is established by the Constitution, which outlines the structure of the government and the rights and responsibilities of its branches and officials. The primary purpose of the government is not to generate profits, but to provide services and protections to its citizens, maintain order, and uphold the rights and freedoms outlined in the Constitution.

3. Municipal Corporation:
A municipal corporation is a type of public corporation created by a city, town, or other municipality. It is a legal entity separate from the citizens it serves and has the power to perform specific governmental functions at the local level, such as zoning, public transportation, and waste management. While it has a corporate status, its primary purpose is not to generate profits but to provide services to its residents. It operates under a charter granted by the state, which outlines its powers and responsibilities.

In summary, while these entities may share some characteristics, they are fundamentally different. A corporation is primarily profit-driven, a government is service-oriented with a focus on maintaining order and protecting citizens' rights, and a municipal corporation, while having a corporate status, is a local governmental entity focused on providing specific services to its residents.
