Robert E. Lee, original owner of Arlington Cemetery?
This is a lengthy,yet worth the read, great article by Smithsonian Magazine, (click here for the article), both for its content and the timing of sending it out. This article deals with an out-of-control Congress passing unconstitutional legislation to take away property of private citizens.
“If justice & law are not utterly extinct in the U.S., I will have it back."~ Mary Lee
As chief magistrate of the reestablished body politic/state of North Carolina, I believe this article represents a direct parallel to our efforts. The soil of North Carolina was unconstitutionally taken from the original body politic and we have a right to reclaim it, in law, by both showing and proving the unconstitutionality of the unlawful seizure and occupation of our soil through the Reconstruction legislation. A few quotes from President Andrew Johnson, Commander in chief of the United States military in his veto of the third Reconstruction Act, July 19,1867:
“Another ground on which these reconstruction acts are attempted to be sustained is this: That these ten States are conquered territory;... that their territory is a conquered country and their citizens a conquered people, ...”
“A title by conquest stands on clear ground; it is a new title acquired by war; it applies only to territory;…”
“There is not a foot of the land in any one of these ten States which the United States holds by conquest… We have not conquered these places, but have simply “repossessed” them.”
Though it took the Lee's 20+ years to re-claim their property, in the end their legal battle was won. It is important to note here that the battle would have never been won had they not been willing to take a stand. Congress will maintain their unconstitutional occupation until such time as a rightful and dedicated people stand up and reclaim title to their stolen soil.
“After a six-day trial, a jury found for Lee on January 30, 1879: by requiring the "insurrectionary tax" to be paid in person, the government had deprived Custis Lee of his property without due process of law.”
“The government appealed the verdict to the Supreme Court—which ruled for Lee again. On December 4, 1882, Associate Justice Samuel Freeman Miller, a Kentucky native appointed by President Lincoln, wrote for the 5 to 4 majority, holding that the 1864 tax sale had been unconstitutional and was therefore invalid.”
I believe this is the same method, which should be used in every state of the American union, to bring awareness to the people of the true cause of the overthrow of the US Constitution and the subjugation of the citizens of the states to the Federal government. It is a legal argument directly parallel to that of the Lee’s. We believe that when this awareness motivates ½ of 1% of the American people to boisterously stand up for their right to lawfully re-claim their soil, we can peacefully put the American union back on its lawful foundation.
If your desire is to restore the union of American states and the lawful implementation of the United States Constitution, based on a peaceful, lawful and provable legal argument, please contact America’s Remedy so we can coordinate a unified effort.
“If justice & law are not utterly extinct in the U.S, we will have our states back.”~ John Ainsworth, Chief Magistrate of NCAR, borrowing from Mary Lee.
