Way back in 1986 or so, I was given a bunch of 'legal' paperwork about common law courts, common law liens, and how to use those to fight against employees of the .gov if you got a ticket or letter from the IRS.
That was the very beginning of the Sovereign Citizen movement as we know it today, as far as I know. Back then, it was distributed to all survivalist type folks as they were known back then. For the unknowing, the modern 'Patriot' movement was created partially by returning Vietnam Vets who'se eyes were opened and getting sick and tired of the .gov getting away with what it does, as far as I know.
Somewhere along the line, they now refer to the fact that was referred to in those papers that we are under courts of equity in all matter because of some secret dissolution of the United States and it reforming as a corporation. They refer to the "Legislative Acts of 1871, Session 3, Chapter 62, Page 419, passed February 21, 1871", very specific. Which is cool, because then anyone can look it up. It is not the dissolution's of the United States as they claim. Yet it talks about incorporation, but in reference to Washington, D.C. and Georgetown, merging them into one city. Cities in this country are incorporated. If you've been around when folks start a new town, you'll see this as part of the process. So, I don't know know why folk mis-represent these things. You make up your mind.
The only thing "incorporated" was the city for Washington, D.C.
"In 1871 a sedious act was performed by the Government. A coup was made to rewrite the constitution and put WE THE PEOPLE in all capitals, under a new corporate contract transferring the United States of America into the new Corporation of the United States of America which transferred the power of We The People and the constitution over to the new corporation. When they did that, it placed the citizens in the United States as property of the Corporation which was centered in Washington D.C.. This action made Washington D.C. a FOREIGN ENTITY on American soil of sovereign states. It was established through a loan from the Vatican when D.C. was transferred into a city-state, and this corporate entity then ruled over the people. Citizens rights were taken from them in this process. No one realized this."
"Did the "Act of 1871" establish the United States as a corporation? No, that's not true: The District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 established a new, unified government for Washington, D.C. It "incorporated" that city, a common legal term by which areas are organized for governance by a single entity. In this case, two cities and a county were merged into the District of Columbia."
