What is the republic of Texas?
Texas is a Nation that was established
by Declaration of Rights, The Texas Constitution of 1836, and many
battles including:
the Alamo,
the Goliad Massacre,
the ultimate defeat of Santa Anna,
and a treaty giving the Texas land "to the people forever".
The Constitution declared Texas a
republic with a republican form of government. Essential to such
form of government is personal responsibility, personal freedom, mutual
respect of others' rights, private ownership of property, common law,
and government that exists to serve the interest of the people; a
government which is directly answerable to the people, and is
forbidden from creating "statutes and color of law" that deprive its
citizens of their property.
The republic of Texas government exists
only to serve the people in intercourse with other nations, provide
protection from invasion, establish a post office and post-roads, coin
money, protect the rights of the Sovereigns, and is forbidden from
acquiring property or taxing the citizens and/or their property -
PERIOD!
The main responsibility of a republican
form of government is to protect the rights and freedom of its
Sovereigns.The government is charged to do these without directly
taxing the Sovereign and the Sovereign’s private property.
If the land belongs to the people forever, why are Texas residents paying such high ad valorem taxes?
That is one of the mysteries of the ‘leadership’ we have in Texas today.
The Texas Constitution states at Article 8 Section 1-e:
"No State ad valorem taxes shall be levied upon any property within this State".
It is not unreasonable for the
average citizen to expect their government to follow its own
laws. This is an area of taxation also forbidden by the United
States of America Constitution at Article 1, Section 2, Clause 3, and
Article 1, Section 9, Clause 4.
The State and local governments unlawfully
collect billions of dollars annually from their citizens without any
authority from the State Constitution or the State Legislature.
If one protests this unlawful act and fights
for the Constitutional rights promised in the ‘governmental contract’,
one is taken into court, without the tax collector having to provide
constitutional or legislative authority to impose such tax.
The person who follows the law as written in
THE STATE OF TEXAS has their property stolen from them for not paying
an unlawful tax on property not lawfully taxable by the STATE OF TEXAS,
or any political subdivision thereof.
For most of us, the only familiarity we have with this
issue is what is run on the nightly news and in the daily paper, all of
which have a vested interest in promoting big government and aiding in
systematically programming the population to decide on the choice
between a 45% increase or a 47% increase in ad valorem taxes.
Why is it that the media will NOT
spend any time encouraging the citizenry to question the need for more
government services?
If the media directed the citizenry to
the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for THE STATE OF
TEXAS, and the various cities, counties, and ISDs (independent school
districts), there would rebellion in the streets before the newscast
was over.
For instance, here in Texas, AUSTIN
TEXAS is sitting on an almost $1 Billion(2002) surplus, after all
expenses, long term debt, buildings, etc., are factored in. Guess what
that surplus earns the tax paying citizenry? Nothing but annual
increases in their taxes.
DALLAS TEXAS has a surplus of over $3,541,245,000 and THE STATE OF TEXAS is sitting on $133,231,136,000.
These funds belong to the people, but are being held by the various administrative agencies for who knows what?
The republic of Texas Constitution
forbids ad valorem taxes of its Citizens’ private property. The
republic’s government is set up to serve the people, not bankrupt them
and take their earnings in the guise of taxation to benefit the
children.
How does this affect the average "Texian"?
As an example of the fraud upon
the people of Texas, we will look at property taxes. There are many
more, but this one is quite simple and blatantly obvious. According to
the current STATE OF TEXAS CONSTITUTION, Article 8, Section 1-e,
ABOLITION OF AD VALOREM PROPERTY TAXES:
No ad valorem taxes shall be levied upon any property within this State.
The State legislature is the law making body of the STATE OF
TEXAS. If the TEXAS CONSTITUTION forbids the legislature from levying
ad valorem taxes, and the cities and counties get their authority from
the Texas Legislature and the Constitution, how can there possibly be
any legal or lawful authority to levy ad valorem taxes on your home or
other property?
Surely the government wouldn’t
allow something like this to happen, would it? Go back to Karl Marx -
government controlled schools, Plank number 10 of the Communist
Manifesto!
Add to this that the creditors of
the UNITED STATES dictate that they be paid the money loaned to them,
or they will bankrupt the government, it provides a framework for
understanding the ways the members of the government go around the
constitution to do whatever they have to, to protect their cushy jobs,
benefits, and status.
Because of the people’s ignorance
of the law (they are too busy working to pay their mortgage and taxes
to learn the law), the programming done through the government
controlled news media, television shows, movies, etc., the governments
are pretty much able to do whatever they please, because the people are
programmed to act in ways that are beneficial to the government, not
themselves.
Most people don’t even realize the
difference between the two terms people and persons. Nor do they
recognize the lawful and legal distinctions between proudly professing
to be a US Citizen, as opposed to being an American. The difference
between the two is no less than the difference between night and day.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to know
and understand the differences? To many, "Who cares? That is just
your interpretation!" To the knowledgeable, it means the difference
between being treated as a slave, or a master! It is not in the
government’s best interest for you to know which one you are!
Multa ignoramus quae nobis non
laterent si veterem lectio nobis fuit familiaris. (We are ignorant of
many things, which would not be hidden from us if the reading of old
authors was familiar to us.)
The republic of Texas is committed to
having all of its Citizens know who they are, and to understand that
the republic of Texas government is the servant of the people, not the
master.
That may not be a popular thought,
but if you take the time to read the Constitution that was created by
the founding fathers of these countries--Texas and the United States of
America (a constitutional federation)--you will understand that the
power belongs with the people.
The governments can not exist
without the power of the people. If the government had not tricked you
into assuming the debt that it created, the creditors would not loan
them another dime.
Why would a country that prints
its own money, at anytime it wants to, need to tax you in order to keep
their "business" going? If that country allowed you to be paid in gold
and silver, would you let them come into your house and take your
wealth, your national treasures, your national parks, your national
rivers and lakes?
I only ask because that is what is
being done in America today! You are denied the ability to accumulate
real wealth, because your government has squandered and wasted wealth
on a scale that is unimaginable by even the most educated person.
Many knowledgeable people believe
that it is time to take back America. We Texians believe that it is
time to take back our Nation too, and bestow upon it and its Citizens
their rightful place among the Nations of the world.
Isn’t Texas part of the United States?
Absolutely not!
There are over 2800 pages clearly
confirming the fact that Texas never acceded to become a part of the
United States or of the united States of America. There are many
appearances that Texas is a State of the Union, however the State of
Texas and the United States both know differently, as neither can
produce a signed Treaty of Annexation.
There was a proposed Treaty, but the Senate did not approve it because of Texian demands.
At a later date, the Texian people
voted down the annexation by a 2:1 margin. By the Law of Nations,
annexation treaties must be unanimous by those annexed for annexation
to be valid.
THE STATE OF TEXAS is, in law and
bylaw, a business corporation that acts in collusion with the UNITED
STATES corporation, another business.
Where is the Constitutional United States of America?
Corrupt politicians, in 1845,
abandoned the republic of Texas and appeared to join the United States
business corporation. This was done for their personal gain.
The facts don’t support the
assumption that Texas is a State of the Union. Most people don’t
recognize the significance of the fact that the Texas Flag is the only
flag that can be flown at the same height as the United States Flag.
Every other state flag must be flown below the US Flag.
Further, Texas has foreign
embassies in eight foreign countries, and has treaties with foreign
nations that are still recognized today.
The STATE OF TEXAS (Case #
95-1002) and THE HAGUE INTERNATIONAL COURT (Case # 94135) recognize the
republic of Texas as a Sovereign Nation.
What is meant by sovereign person/people?
The Declaration of Independence and Constitution
recognized and clearly stated that the government was created by "We
the People"--the Sovereigns. The government is the created entity and
derives its power from the people. It does not rule the people (unless
the people give their permission to be ruled).
The land of Texas was given "to the people forever"; the people,
not to the government!
There is no document in existence showing that the people gave
the land to the government (by the terms of the treaty, it could not be
taken by the government).
After the Revolutionary War King
George gave the lands and Sovereignty to the American People - not the
US Government. If you read and study the Constitution to the slightest
degree, you will find that every one of "We the People" as
individuals each have the power of 1200 presidents, congressmen, or
judges be they local, federal, or the Supreme Court.
The republic of Texas
believes that the People should know these facts and take appropriate
steps to hold their government and its agents responsible for their
collective and individual breaches of duty.
A sovereign person is one from
whom the government derives its authority. A sovereign assumes
responsibility for their own actions and welfare. A sovereign does not
look to the government to guide their life, provide their sustenance,
health care, or myriad government services paid for by stealing money
from other sovereigns to pay for those who don’t want to assume
responsibility for their own well being.
The Sovereigns of the republic of
Texas understand that the best government is the one that governs the
least.
Look at the current government of
the UNITED STATES. Before its representatives voted in a central bank
(the Federal Reserve, a privately owned monopoly), the US
Government was among the wealthiest in the world. (see Karl
Marx‘s Communist Manifesto Plank number 5)
After 91 years of depressions,
recessions, and inflationary periods, the UNITED STATES is the world's
biggest debtor, and can not possibly pay the creditors, because the
UNITED STATES has no money, only paper. The UNITED STATES has no
currency of its own, it must borrow every dollar used from The Federal
Reserve (not a government agency, but a private, for profit,
corporation that pays no taxes on its profits).
The creditors control the country,
instead of We the People (and you wondered why taxes are always
increasing and wages are not keeping pace). The creditors understand
that in a democracy, the masses will always vote for the best
government handout, thereby strengthening the creditors position of
control over the government and the people.
The republic of Texas Constitution provides for gold and silver as tender of payment for debt.
Having seen the consequences of paper or fiat currency, the
republic strictly abides by all its constitutional provisions regarding
gold and silver.
I have heard that the republic of Texas is a white supremacy militia
group, who believe that they are above the law. Is that true?
Quite the contrary.
The republic of Texas Nation’s
Black, Latino, Indian, and Caucasian Sovereign Citizens will tell you
that our nation stands alone in its capacity to provide knowledgeable
law abiding men and women, of any color and creed who believe in the
law and government as established by the Texas American's organic
Constitutions - government of the People, by the People, for the
People. We believe in responsibility and freedom.
An integral part of our foundation
is the fact that I as a representative of the republic have no right to
tell you how to live your life. Further, I can not get 10,000 people to
join me and thereby subject you to my point of view and way of life
because you are in the minority. Conversely, no group of 10,000 people
acting under some supposed authority have the right to tell me how to
think and act either.
We respect the rights of our
fellow man and understand that our rights are given to us by our
Creator, not our government. Our Creator gave each of us the same
Unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit
of happiness (among them - these are not our only rights). We believe
in the fundamental tenet shared by all religions (and common sense) ‘Do
unto others as you would have them do unto you‘.
My rights are inviolable and stop
at the point that I infringe on your rights, and vice versa. Among
one’s rights are not included the right to have something that one has
not earned, yet is being provided by some politician who stole it from
another under the guise of a tax, to give to someone who will vote for
them.
As stated in the Constitutions, We
the People are the government, and those who hold positions in
government office are the servants of the People - not the Peoples’
ruler. How can the created (government) tell the creator (We the
People) what to do and how to live our lives? Simply put, we believe in
"truth in government".
Plutarch, the Greek philosopher
said over 2000 years ago "The real destroyer of liberties of any people
is he who spreads among them bounties, donations, and largesse."
As you read the following, please keep in mind what Thomas Jefferson said:
"Single acts of tyranny may be
ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day. But a series of
oppressions,...pursued unalterably through every change of ministers,
too plainly proves a deliberate systematic plan of reducing us to
slavery."
I am always amazed when I hear
someone tell me how great it is to live in the land of the free and
they are not allowed to marry, drive a car, operate a business, build a
house, change out a water heater, install new windows, or have a pet in
their private home without obtaining a license. After obtaining a
license (revenue generating act under the guise of being protected)
they then have to pay taxes on their earnings and sales tax on almost
everything they buy.
They have been indoctrinated in
the government school system to believe that paying half of everything
one earns in the form of fees and taxes is not a form of slavery.
Further, the ‘Land of the Free" has the highest per capita rates in the
world of the following: incarceration, police and lawyers.
Crime is the leading growth
industry in the UNITED STATES! Unconstitutional confiscation of
property by government (not authorized by the Constitution), and many
not-even-actual-government-agencies, is a multi-billion dollar per year
industry.
In fact, confiscation laws
allow government instrumentalities to take property without warrants,
criminal charges, or convictions - just the agency or instrumentality’s
whim. When a government officer, whether elected or appointed,
takes their position, they swear an oath to uphold the Constitution.
That officer should uphold that oath or be held accountable for not
upholding it. Their job is to uphold and defend the Constitution, not
pander to the money interests.
The united States Constitution
provides that the government shall provide a republican form of
government to each of the states. The pledge of allegiance states ‘to
the flag and to the republic for which it stands’. It does not
say democracy - it says republic. Article IV, Section 4 states "The
United States shall guarantee every State in this Union a republican
Form of Government".
Our government agents have
violated their Oaths of Office (betrayed their country and its
principles) by allowing us to be taught that we live in a democracy.
The government knows the difference and will go to many lengths to
obfuscate the truth. Looking in the United States of America U.S.
Government Training Manual, No. 2000-25, War Department, Washington,
dated November 30, 1928 and prepared under the direction of the Chief
of Staff. "Democracy: A government of the masses. Authority
derived through mass meeting or any other form of "direct" expression.
Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic -
negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the
majority shall regulate, whether it be based upon deliberation or
governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or
regard to consequences. Results in demagogism, license, agitation,
discontent, anarchy." (Demagogue - a leader who makes use of popular
prejudices, false claims and promises in order to gain power).
"Democracy is a form of government that can not long survive, for as
soon as people learn that they have a voice in fiscal policies of the
government, they will vote for themselves all the money in the
treasury, and bankrupt the nation." Karl Marx, The Communist Manifesto
"Republic: Authority is derived from the election by the people of
public officials best fitted to represent them. Attitude toward
property is respect for laws and individual rights, and a sensible
economic procedure. Attitude toward law is the administration of
justice in accord with fixed principles and established evidence, with
strict regard to consequences. Avoids the dangerous extreme of either
tyranny or monocracy. Results in statesmanship, liberty, reason,
justice, contentment and progress. Is the "standard form" of government
throughout the world. A republic form is a form of government under the
Constitution which provides for the election of the executive, a
legislative body (which legislates only for government) and a
judiciary." (Emphasis added) A republic is self-governing.
Another example; both the Texas Constitution (Article II, Section 2)
and the United States of America Constitution (Article 1, Section 10)
provide that only Gold and Silver (Coin or Specie) shall be offered as
tender and payment of debt.
Can you recall when you last
received gold or silver coin in payment? Both have been unlawfully
banned by Congress - yet there were no constitutional amendments
allowing the government to do so.
Back in 1918 the government wanted to ban alcohol. The Constitution was
amended (18th Amendment) to take effect Jan. 29, 1920. After ten years
of juries failing to convict the majority of alcohol related cases
Prohibition was repealed by the 21st Amendment effective Feb. 6, 1933.
Now you go to jail for smoking marijuana .
Where is the Constitutional Amendment that authorized that?
Under whose authority was that law
passed? Is there even a law passed that allows the enforcement of
incarceration of the We the People for smoking marijuana? The republic
of Texas does not advocate smoking marijuana or doing anything else
that may be harmful to your health, nor does the republic of Texas
believe that anyone has the right or authority to tell another what
they can or can’t do with respect to their values and lifestyle, nor do
they have the right to impose their values upon the Sovereign People.
The point in the previous
illustration is that something has changed! It is readily apparent that
our government is not following its Constitution - the document from
which it derives its authority. If the government is not following its
own rules of existence, then it is not a lawful government, but a
tyrannical anarchy using its force (guns, imprisonment, and theft ) to
extort property from its Sovereigns!
NOTICE
to all Texian Americans
You have only 3 1/2 years left to freely choose whether you wish to be
part of the republic of Texas Nation with freedom to retain all of your
rights;
-or-
REMAIN a corporate slave to your NEW MASTER NATION which will be:
THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION consisting of:
1. MEXICO
2. the UNITED STATES, and
3. CANADA.
~ These seamless borders will guarantee your loss of all rights.
~ You now have and will continue to have ONLY fees, purchased privileges, and a long list of taxes.
You are in charge of your and your family's destiny -
Gal. 5:14 All law is fulfilled in one word;
Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself;
Also called the Royal Law, James 2: 8-10.
The Republic of Texas Association
There is an association (organized
under the authority of THE STATE OF TEXAS) in OVERTON, TEXAS legally
known as "The Republic of Texas Association".
This association admits (in court
on the court record) that it exists under the laws of THE STATE OF
TEXAS, thereby owing its existence to THE STATE OF TEXAS.
As such, it is incapable of
representing the People of Texas, and can only represent residents
of THE STATE OF TEXAS.
The lawful reality is that for any
authority of THE STATE OF TEXAS to exist, such authority must, and can,
arise only from the republic of Texas Constitution.
Therefore, (a difficult concept -
reality) THE STATE OF TEXAS exists only as a fictional corporation
through its agreements and contracts with persons (not the same as
people) of Texas.
THE STATE OF TEXAS is an unlawful usurper on the land of Texas, a Sovereign Nation.
