A DECLARATION of GRIEVANCES AGAINST the CORPORATE FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION of AMERICA and OTHERS CONSPIRING TO SUBVERT the CONSTITUTIONAL FORM OF GOVERNMENT
Proposed by William A. Flatt of Indiana (July 20th, 2005) [updated and perfected April 19, 2008]


Our Federal Government, and quisling state governments, have deprived the people of the security of our Lives, Liberty and Property; replacing it with terror.

Citizens of the 50 states have been murdered, unjustly imprisoned, and tortured by agents of the government under the color of law and with the protection of 'sovereign immunity' under the government.



Federal Government
They have imposed upon us, without our consent, multitudes of laws, taxes, and regulations 32 that are most unnecessary and unwholesome for the public good, serving the venal interests of multinational corporations and international bankers, rather than in the honest representation of the people.



These laws and regulations are multiplied beyond all reason or humanity, deliberately subverting both the words and intent of our Constitution and Bill of Rights to the point where there is not a single American who could not be arrested, imprisoned and impoverished for violating any one of the millions of arbitrary and incomprehensible regulations, laws, and edicts now in force.



They have "erected a Multitude of new Offices, and sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People, and eat out their Substance."



They have created and combined agencies for the express and specific purpose of engaging in espionage against the citizens of this nation, and have encouraged commercial interests to engage in similar acts of espionage for their own profit.



The IRS, Justice Department, State and local 41 revenue authorities and a multitude of other government agencies have engaged in an escalating orgy of legalized looting and wholesale seizure of private property to feed the appetite of arrogant and rapacious bureaucracies.



They have burdened us with waste, corruption, and incomprehensibly massive government debt, which has brought our nation to bankruptcy at least once; and to prevent future bankruptcy they mortgaged the lives, liberty, and property of this and every future generation of Americans.



They have placed our nation’s key natural resources out of bounds, under the pretext of environmental protection, for the purpose of making dependent on foreign imports and deny to us the fair and productive use of the land.



They have issued edict upon edict, issued regulation on top of regulation, instituted fine after fine, treated us as if we were common criminals, seized our property, and destroyed our ability to make an honest living for ourselves and our families;



They have deprived us of representation by pandering to the interests of the obscenely wealthy and to multinational corporations; through bribery, graft, influence-peddling, and ignoring conflicts of interest.



They have abolished our covenants and subverted our form of government, replacing it with a form that is alien to us and entirely contrary to the form required by our Constitution, from the national and state levels all the way down to the lowliest local magistrate; For declaring themselves invested with the unlimited and general power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever, whether it be in the halls of Congress or from the court bench.



They have combined with foreign powers and international organizations to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving their assent to acts of pretended legislation under a framework for a global government.



They have abolished our just and proper laws by substituting them with unconstitutional and fraudulent treaties; submerging our laws under the laws, regulations & conventions of supranational organizations.



They have combined with organizations whose goals are the epitome of treason; whose stated goals are to betray the American people into the hands of a global government.



They maintain membership in organizations such as the 'Club of Rome', 'Council on Foreign Relations', 'Trilateral Commission', 'Bilderbergers', and the 'United Nations Association of America'. Outside of government service, members of these organizations maintain control over commercial and nonprofit corporations by means of interlocking directorates, through funding provided by foundations and banking institutions that are controlled by their affiliated cohorts.



Justice System
The supreme Court has given these bureaucracies, as well as quisling state and local governments, its official blessing to seize the property of anyone - for any pretext, and without full market value of said property.



They have hobbled and corrupted our system of justice by creating endless numbers of technical crimes against the State, and crimes without victims - making vices into crimes, dissent into treason, and sensuality into perversion.



They have seized billions of dollars worth of property without due process of law, imprisoned countless thousands without indictment or trial, and have made equal justice under law impossible by manipulating courts and juries, terrorizing our attorneys and seizing their fees.



They have made a complete mockery of our justice system by reversing jury decisions by fiat, and imprisoning jurors for resisting illegal judicial orders.



They have supplanted acts of legislature with court edicts and executive orders that upend the rule of law established by our Constitutions, and subverted the enforcement of the same.



Economic System
They have instituted oppressive and destructive taxes without our consent; stolen more than half of our incomes year after year; and compelled us to testify against ourselves by filling out endless compulsory reports.



They have also pressed business owners into unpaid service as government spies and tax collectors; destroyed our peace, security & freedom in order to finance their oppressive bureaucracies, failed social programs, and wars of aggression. This was accomplished by fraudulently claiming the consent of the people, and by substituting our incomes for tariffs and customs, as the source of the Treasury, obtained an unlimited power of the purse in order to control the people and further their other designs.



They have destroyed our financial security: They have debauched the currency, substituting worthless paper for gold and silver. They have clandestinely abdicated our banking system to a private cartel; inflating currency and credit and looting the real wealth of the people.



They have centralized control of our economy into their hands and have dictated every aspect of how our businesses must be operated.



They have destroyed our jobs by systematically dropping all trade barriers with foreign nations, creating a system of labor arbitrage with poorer nations with whom Americans cannot compete; and by flooding our markets with foreign foods and consumer goods that unfairly undercut domestic producers.



They have de-industrialized our nation by shuttering our factories, machine shops and mills; sending our productive capability overseas. To prevent domestic entrepreneurs from resurrecting our national ability to be self-sufficient, the machinery of our industries have been seized, and either auctioned or sold at fire-sale prices to foreign interests.



They have destroyed jobs and stifled private initiative with suffocating regulations and oppressive bureaucracies. These bureaucracies have aided & abetted corporate malfeasance, served the interests of multinational corporations at the expense of the consumer, and have generally succeeded in the opposite to the ends for which they were created.



They have used the extorted tax money of Americans to implement a design for global government, to promote and support communist governments throughout the world, and bail out financial, political and social institutions that engage in the same practices.



Electorial System
They have subverted the electoral process through unjust and exclusionary ballot access and campaign finance laws. Vast sums of tax-extorted funds have been used to create a Congressional Monopoly, Judicial Autocracy and an Imperial Presidency; which have crushed dissent and excluded any serious challenge to their power.



They have disparaged the will of the people upon the electoral process by diluting our representation through uncontrolled illegal immigration, and then rewarding these illegal immigrants with opportunities to vote. Then they heap additional insult and injury upon us by allowing these non-citizens to obtain welfare benefits from the tax-extorted wages of American citizens.



Military Abuse
They have kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies of military and police. In direct violation of the Constitution, US troops under the exclusive direction of the President have repeatedly invaded and reduced foreign countries to ruin without declaration of war by Congress.



They have used force to compel our children to fight and die in foreign wars far removed from their homes. In the name of various crises, such as a "War on Drugs", a "War on Crime", and even perversely, "a War on Terrorism" they have engaged in open war upon the people of the United States, invading farm and field, village and home, and spreading terror across the land.



They have used both uniformed and covert operatives to commit crimes against humanity, including but not limited to the covert use of torture; kidnapping; secret tribunals; political assassination; police snipers murdering unarmed adults, women and children; police & military troops assaulting churches with massive firepower, even to the point of using combat vehicles and tanks; laying siege to families, congregations, and communities - then murdering them wholesale; and the mass murder of hundreds and thousands of Americans in putative terrorist attacks, that are in fact ordered by the highest officeholders in government.



In the name of "keeping the peace", they have illegally waged war on many nations and used weapons of mass destruction upon innocent peoples, committing democide and other crimes against humanity abroad, making the United States the most hated nation in the world.



They have encouraged Islamic terrorists to attack us, whose known rule of warfare is the indiscriminate murder of all ages, sexes and conditions.



They have subverted our educational, social, religious, commercial, and other institutions, for the purpose of re-educating the population with beliefs, values, behavior, and conduct that is perverse and contrary to the well-being of a free republic.



They have perverted our relations with other nations, using their power to support foreign tyrants. They have bribed other nations with foreign aid, manipulated foreign trade, and exported massive quantities of weapons of death and destruction - fomenting discord, repression and war throughout the world.



They also excite the domestic insurrectionists amongst us, for the pretext of further depriving us of our Liberties and freedoms.



They have passed statutes for the purpose of legalistically disabling as many Americans as possible from owning and using firearms, the very tools that can be used to throw off this tyranny; and have passed bills to criminalize dissentful political speech and any other activity intended to restore government to its Constitutional limits. In the ultimate act of disrespect to the Rights of the people, this terrorist regime has enacted a multitude of laws and regulations redefining as terrorist the God-given Right of the People to resist and abolish an abusive, criminal government.



Findings
The government of the United States of America has so abrogated its sacred covenants to the people of this nation that our own government is commonly recognized as the greatest menace to peace, freedom, and prosperity; both here and throughout the world. More than half of all Americans regard the federal government as the single greatest threat to their life, liberty and property; and at least one third of all Americans believe the threat of federal power represents a clear and imminent danger.

We, the people, have lost all control of our societal institutions to this criminal, terrorist combine; and that government has ceased to be our servant. It has instead become a terrible and tyrannical master. To restore the freedom, peace and prosperity of the people, we have demanded:

1.) That the protections of individual rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights be strictly enforced. That all laws restricting freedom of speech, press, religion, assembly and enterprise; the right to keep and bear arms and the right to own and dispose of property be justly recognized as Null and Void, and thereby stricken from the law books.

2.) That Citizen Grand Juries not under the control of government-appointed judges or prosecutors be convened in each State with the power to indict government officials and employees who violate the rights of any citizen, and that all officials and employees so indicted be promptly brought to trial.

3.) That a "Citizen Veto" be created at federal, state and local levels, whereby all citizens can veto any new legislation they deem un-Constitutional – including revenue acts. Also, that the establishment of a national Citizen Power of Recall so that unscrupulous politicians may be removed from power by popular initiative when institutional safeguards against bad behavior should fail.

4.) That the Income Tax and the IRS be forever abolished and that all individuals jailed for charges of tax evasion be freed.

5.) That sufficient government property be sold to retire the national debt.

6.) That all government agencies which are not clearly engaged in the protection of life, liberty and property of the individual be disbanded.

7.) That the Federal Reserve, FDIC, FSLIC and currency laws be abolished, and that banking and insurance systems be left to the private sector in order to restore security to our economy.

8.) That all laws creating government monopolies in education, medicine, utilities, mail delivery and all other public services be abolished.

9.) That State and Economy be separated, and that federal control of interstate commerce be confined to prohibition of tariffs and trade restrictions between States.

10.) That freedom of association be restored to enterprise, including freedom to hire, fire, contract and negotiate; that all capitalist acts between consenting adults be legalized.

11.) That foreign trade agreements be abolished, such as NAFTA, GATT & WTO; and the restoration of constitutional tariffs, import duties, and customs laws.

12.) That all federal laws restricting gun ownership be abolished, and that a trained, well armed citizenry be encouraged, as a defense against domestic criminals, foreign aggression and domestic tyranny.

13.) That due process of law and the presumption of innocence be restored.

14.) That RICO statutes, and other laws enabling the government to confiscate 1 property without the owners being convicted of any crime, be abolished.

15.) That the Seventh Amendment to the Constitution, preserving the right to trial by jury in civil disputes be strengthened to include disputes between Citizens and the State.

16.) That all Civil Forfeiture laws, and other laws holding "property" hostage for crimes, shall be immediately and completely abolished, and that henceforth no citizen shall be deprived of any property (except as punishment for real crimes, of which they have been duly convicted by a jury of their peers).

17.) That all jury members be explicitly informed of their right to judge the law as well as the facts in every court case, and to acquit if they find the law improper or unjust.

18.) That 'Sovereign Immunity', which makes government officers and agents immune from prosecution for their crimes, be abolished, and that presumption in trials in favor of government officials, police officers and other agents of the State be ended.

19.) That government officials and agents, and citizens be treated as equal before the law in all cases, both criminal and civil.

20.) That all victimless crime laws be abolished, and all people imprisoned for these offenses be immediately freed and their records cleared.

21.) That the federal government be enjoined from all state or local police functions, and that State and local police executives be elected in the same manner as county sheriffs, so that they may be held directly accountable to the people.

22.) That the function of the military be confined to defense of the territory of the United States, and that all US troops be removed from foreign countries.

23.) That henceforth, the sole purpose of the military shall be protection of the lives and property of US citizens at home.

24.) That the United States withdraw from membership in the United Nations and that the United Nations be ordered to relocate its headquarters outside the United States.

25.) That all American members of Bilderbergers, Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, and other globalist combinations be arrested, indicted, and tried for Treason.

26.) That henceforth all executives, legislators or judges who knowingly violate their oaths to uphold and defend the Constitution & Bill of Rights be removed from office, and where necessary, tried for Treason.

27.) That all blatantly unconstitutional laws such as the P.a.t.r.i.o.t. Acts, the National Identification act known as “REAL ID”, et.al., be recognized as Null and Void, and stricken from the law books; and that every elected official responsible for these abominations being enacted be removed from office.

Attempts at redress
In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms: our repeated petitions have either been answered by repeated injury, or not at all. Any government – whose every act so markedly imitates the character of a tyrant – is unfit to govern a free people. Our government has failed to answer our petitions for redress because they are the malicious and intentional author of our injuries.

Nor have we been wanting in attention to our Congressional representatives.

1.) We have warned them repeatedly from their attempts to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us.

2.) We have reminded them of their specific powers delineated in the 1789 Constitution, and that all powers not specifically granted are prohibited to them under the 10th Amendment.

3.) We have appealed to their native senses of justice, duty, patriotism, and morality, but to no avail.

4.) We have likewise availed ourselves of correspondences with the President and petitions before the Courts, only to find they too are deaf to our pleas for Constitutional obedience.

Conclusion
In having War waged upon us by all branches of the federal government, their state-level quisling subsidiaries, various and sundry petty tyrants of unconstitutional regulatory agencies, collaborators in the corporate media, and in education, banking and commerce; and the agents and thugs of the multitudinous, unconstitutional standing armies, our forbearance has reached its limits. We, the People hereby declare that we shall no longer suffer these acts and shall resist and overturn the present tyranny until at such time our Constitutionally representative Republic is restored!
