It is funny that all of this is very well documented and quite obvious, when one chooses to look at it. But you and I would be labeled "crazy" by most Americans for holding these factually based opinions. They truly see only what they want to see, or what they have been brainwashed into believing.
The Constitution was the formative document for a new Crown colony, placed in the united States on a piece of ground ceded by Virginia. This gives the United States the same status under International Law as Canada. This was done by men who had no desire to see the "colonies" separate from Britain. Men who deeply felt the need for a "king".-- David Gould
On January 24, 1791, it was announced by George Washington the creation of the District of Columbia as the seat of the new government. This district, consisting of 10 square miles within the state of Virginia, was incorporated after the Civil War in 1871. Just like any other corporation, its operation is for that of profit. As most of you have learned in school, this district is it's own little country unto itself:
The Constitution of the United States of America, Article I, Section 8, Clause 17:
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;
Like "The City" is to London, the District of Columbia is the secret conclave that rules Amerika under the law merchant. The corporate district that houses the seat of our government and carries on the Roman commercial tradition, which makes our laws compatible with the Crown, while keeping the obligations and charters between the Crown and her incorporated District States valid.
