Before August 7, 1953, the great state of Ohio was never properly admitted to the Union, as follows:

Text of a joint House/Senate resolution:

"Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That: The State of Ohio, shall be one, and is hereby declared to be one, of the United States of America, and is admitted into the Union on an equal footing with the original States, in all respects whatever.  This joint resolution shall take effect as of March 1, 1803. Approved August 7, 1953." -- Public Law 204, August 7, 1953.

As we know, Article I, Section 9, Clause 3 of the federal Constitution prohibits retroactive law making:  "No...ex post facto [after the fact] law shall be passed."

What does this mean?  (1) That some of the amendments to our federal Constitution are invalid, like the 17^th which converted the USA from a republic to a democracy!  (2) Treaties and other stuff which were enacted by the narrowest of margins are "NO LAW !"  (3) The rest of the ramifications are left to your imagination.

(We know that the 16^th Amendment is invalid, the 14^th is invalid, and just possibly the missing 13^th Amendment is law!)

But that brings us to the courts, which is addressed below -

Subj: Invalid Courts

Did Bryan Invalidate the Courts in 1913?

By Erastus Publius

If, by general knowledge, you knew, on a certain road, a band of robbers, thieves and murderers kept control, would you go by that place?  Of course, not.  For centuries, the wary have used their God-Given good sense to avoid such traps.

Yet, for decades, in this country, perfectly honest peaceful citizens have passed through courts on their way to jail, fines and life terms for contempt. Many of you have lost everything you own, including your families and friends to nothing more than outright liars and hypocrites. You lost when your neighbor did. You could be next!

These fancy way-stations, on that route to prison and ruin we call courthouses, lost their jurisdiction over you about 80 years and six months ago; to be precise on May 31, 1913.  On that infamous day, William Jennings Bryan, then Secretary of State, declared popular election of Senators a valid change to the Constitution.  He did this when he knew full well it was not true.  He knew, that to change our government from a Republic to a democracy flew in the face of the intent of the Founders.  He knew of the veto clause in Article V, that every State Legislature had to approve their collective loss of representation in the Senate.  Only 35 States agreed to the 17^th amendment.  Only 35 States agreed to give away their right in 1913 that the Forefathers had bestowed upon the State houses into perpetuity on September 15, 1787.  Did William Jennings Bryan lie to the people of America?

William Jennings Bryan counted 36 States by assuming that OHIO was a State in 1913. OHIO was a territory in 1913!  OHIO failed passing grades at least until 1953.  OHIO applied March 3, 1953 and was accepted by the 17^th amendment congress on August 7^th.  Again, for whatever reason, innocently, by neglect or intentionally, did William Jennings Bryan lie to America?  Did he lie in the sense school teachers fail the truth when they tell their pupils OHIO was admitted March 1, 1803, when on March 3, 1803, Congress rejected OHIO's original application?

Further, William Jennings Bryan knew, that on September 15, 1787, Roger Sherman expressed his fears that 3/4^ths of the States might be brought to do things fatal to particular States, as abolishing them altogether!!  We've seen the move to regional government.  We've seen a 55-mile speed limit imposed; State too impotent to object.  We've seen administrative procedure action with criminal sanctions imposed without a jury of your peers.

Article V (amendment process): "No State shall be deprived of its suffrage [vote] in the Senate without its Consent."  Folks, that's a veto clause. 3/4^ths is permissible for any amendment except for this one permanent exception as explained in Columbia Law Review, Volume 20, page 515:  "As Chief Justice Marshall said in Gibbons v. Ogden, 'it is a rule of construction, acknowledged by all, that the exception from a power mark its extent; for it would be absurd, as well as useless, except from a granted power, that which was not granted'."  It is clear, therefore, that ratification by three-fourths applies to every amendment except the one specifically excepted."

William Jennings Bryan knew this. What he did not realize was that on May 31, 1913, the Senate became a second House of Representatives, unlawful in its make-up, incapable of any valid legislation (except at the muzzle of a gun).  These representatives of the people were elected at great expense by the people at large in each State territory.  Each became a vast house district over which a person wishing to be "elected" roamed in search of votes.  It is not unusual for such parties to spend millions to convince from one to several million voters he is best to represent their pressure groups, trusts and interest in tobacco, dairy, drugs or abortion, just to name a few combines slopping at the public trough.

But most important for you, William Jennings Bryan did you a favor.  His infamous act prevented a lawful Senate from giving "... Advice and Consent ..." for "... Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States ...," Article II, Section 2, United States Constitution.

This means there is no supreme Court lawfully appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.  There is no U.S. appellate or district court lawfully in session.  This condition extends to every court as low as traffic.  None may command you.  However, most of you submit by appearing in court.  Then they dictate you.  You lose by default. You literally go through a Star Chamber.  Most courts dislike being called Star Chambers.  Thomas Jefferson knew the nature of 17^th amendment courts way back then, when he said, that federal judges were "a corps of sappers and miners steadily undermining the Constitution."  You know that courts of justice and righteousness no longer exist in the United States.

The reason 17^th amendment courts compromise the integrity of everything below is expressed by Alexander Hamilton in Federalist Paper #82:  "Agreeably to the remark already made, the
national and State systems are to be regarded as ONE WHOLE."  Rare capitalizations in the Federalist convey a message you ignore only at your peril.

Over the years since 1913, people have, like sheep, marched up to the judge's bench to be shorn. They have literally put themselves into a position of being robbed, stripped and even killed because that entity had no authority under the Constitution.  The sheep did not know this.  They gave up in ignorance.  They will learn it now.  That is changing!

When is the last time you have known anyone to challenge the jurisdiction of any court?  It happened here in Colorado.  The federal Court failed three times with the same person!  Not once did the judge obtain jurisdiction.  The 17^th amendment court dropped the criminal charge "unconditionally" -- "in the interest of justice."  Let's see that duplicated around the country.[!!!!]

The Constitution is the Law of the Land!  Marbury v. Madison is a valid 1803 court case, studied in the law universities, which, as expressed in American Jurisprudence (16 -2nd, 82), says: "Any attempt to do that which is prescribed in the Constitution in any manner other than that prescribed, or to do that which is prohibited, is repugnant to that Supreme and Paramount Law and is invalid."  The court put no time limitation.

If you know anyone to be hassled into any court, for any reason, have them send seven Federal Reserve notes (before it is too late) to the 17^th Rumble, Box 3125, Denver, CO 80201, for the complete story (Seven Elements of Jurisdiction) of how you might avoid the narrow place in the road. Tomorrow may be too late.  It can happen to you!

You must stop wasting jurisdiction as though it is just another world.  It's the most powerful expression in the English language; since antiquity.  17^th amendment courts are not worth your respect.  You must tell them you know.  When you assert your right not to appear in court, you have the blessing of William Jennings Bryan, the same populist/democrat who brought you the Federal Reserve, the income tax and popular election of senators.  He imposed these bad deals on you after 20 years of hard propaganda.  You can reward his efforts.  Stop giving jurisdiction to the courts!

Sequel:  We need a "Free-born " John to address the jurisdictional defect of the 17^th amendment (so called).  Until a courageous Realist raises the issue, attempts to depart the court, is arrested for it, and is ready to spend as much time as needed to get the matter before the people the defect will remain. John Lilburne, the spiritual and historical father of the Fifth Amendment, in one of his speeches at trial (one of three trials for his life) said:  "No lawful Parliament made that act (banishment)."  Today, Freemen can say the same for the present Congress.  The senate does not sit lawfully. We know this!

P.S. In the original print of the Constitution, the word "supreme" in "supreme Court" is not capitalized, why should you?
