A Word of Warning to Patriots

A friend recently asked me what I thought about some American State National (ASN) Baby Deed paperwork she planned to fill out and send to the Secretary of State. This paperwork is promoted by the State National Assembly organization run by Anna Von Reitz.

The following paragraph was included in the instructions.

"The Parent will create a separate L.R.O. member record for the child, and upload a passport photo, and red right thumbprint of the child, and Pay the Credential Fee-$50 on the Fees tab."

This is not the only ASN document that requests that your name, thumbprint and passport photo be filed in the ASN Land Recording Office.

Let me share a little history that explains why I would NEVER do this.

In 2005, the United States sued Christopher Hansen, accusing him of selling how-to guides filled with forms, instructions and tactics to help customers evade paying federal taxes.

Here's the case caption, but you'll need WestLaw to access it, United States v Hansen, 2005 WL 2203233 (2005).

There are a couple of important takeaways from this case that might save you much money, time and your freedom in the future.

Chris Hansen runs the popular websites SEDM and FamGuardian. There’s a good chance you’ve come across PDFs from one of his sites. Hansen doesn't have much of a charismatic personality and nothing like the organization of Anna to promote his information, but he credits himself with the invention of the “state national” status, claiming that Anna Von Reitz learned/stole it from him.

But that’s enough background. Let’s jump into two important aspects of the case.

1. A State National is Subject to the State's Jurisdiction

In his Answer, Hansen claimed that he was a “non-citizen national of the California”.

A quick aside, if you didn't know that by Answering a complaint, you have submitted to the court's jurisdiction, please let me know. These fundamentals are not being taught and are critical to know for those who want to stay out of the state's grip. If I hear from enough of you, it will help me to prioritize this type of content.

Ok, back to the case.

Now here’s what the court stated in its opinion. “Hansen's Answer effectively admits that he is a citizen of California. (Answer at 8, stating he is a "non-citizen national of California.") Personal jurisdiction over Hansen is proper on that basis. See Milliken v. Meyer, 311 U.S. 457 (1940)."

Being diligent researchers, we need to read the case cited by the court. This is what we find.

"Enjoyment of the privileges of residence within the state, and the attendant right to invoke the protection of its laws, are inseparable" from the various incidences of state citizenship." Milliken v. Meyer, 311 U.S. 457, 463 (1940).

The Supreme Court in Minor v. Happerset gives us a little better explanation of this concept.

"The very idea of a political community, such as a nation is, implies an association of persons for the promotion of their general welfare. Each one of the persons associated becomes a member of the nation formed by the association. He owes it allegiance and is entitled to its protection. Allegiance and protection are, in this connection, reciprocal obligations. The one is a compensation for the other; allegiance for protection and protection for allegiance." Minor v. Happersett, 88 US 162, 166 (1875).

So we see that the national receives protection from the state and in turn owes the state his allegiance. To clarify, this means that the state has jurisdiction over you if you are a national, just as it had asserted personal jurisdiction over Mr. Hansen.

Now in Hansen's case, it gets worse, but not for him.

2. Hansen Sold Out, What Will the Next ‘Guru’ Do?

Hansen was ordered to turn over the identities of all his customers. At the time the court issued its opinion, it stated that "The IRS has completed audits for 72 of Defendant's customers, resulting in additional tax assessments of $1,049,654, exclusive of interest and penalties." US v Hansen, 2005 WL 2203233 (2005).

Now let's put on our thinking caps...

Anna Von Reitz has people sending documents with their names, passport photo and thumbprints to her ASN "Land Recording Office" where she now has a database of personally identifying information. She is telling these people that State Nationals have no tax liability. Part of her "process" is to send a "Revocation of Election" document to the IRS (which is not binding on IRS by the way).

Anna is not the only unscrupulous paytriot telling people this by the way. David Strait, Joe Lustica, Brandon Joe Williams and likely others all recommend similar processes.

So here's a question you must ask yourself.

What happens one day when the Department of Justice drags Anna Von Reitz and her organization into court and demands that they turn that database of all their members names, passport photos and fingerprints over to them?

We already know that they have personal jurisdiction over her because she’s a state national. And I'll bet she's not going to wipe it all like Hillary did.

Are you going to want your name, photo and thumbprint to be in that data dump?

Before you go ahead and sign up with any of these paytri-idiots, you would be wise to exercise discernment and think twice.

Until next time…
