Article 1 of 1783 treaty. Yes at face value what you say is relevent & true about copper, however the line, "that he treats with them as such, and for himself, his heirs, and successors".
The king was making a commercial venture when he sent his
subjects to America, and used his money and resources to do so. I
think you would admit the king had a lawful right to receive gain
and prosper from his venture. In the Virginia Charter he declares
his sovereignty over the land and his subjects and in paragraph 9
he declares the amount of gold, silver and copper he is to receive
if any is found by his subjects. There could have just as easily
been none, or his subjects could have been killed by the Indians.
This is why this was a valid right of the king (Jure Coronae, "In
right of the crown," Black's forth Ed.), the king expended his
resources with the risk of total loss.
If you'll notice in paragraph 9 the king declares that all his
heirs and successors were to also receive the same amount of gold,
silver and copper that he claimed with this Charter. The gold that
remained in the colonies was also the kings. He provided the
remainder as a benefit for his subjects, which amounted to further
use of his capital. You will see in this paper that not only is
this valid, but it is still in effect today. If you will read the
rest of the Virginia Charter you will see that the king declared
the right and exercised the power to regulate every aspect of
commerce in his new colony. A license had to be granted for travel
connected with transfer of goods (commerce) right down to the
furniture they sat on. A great deal of the king's declared
property was ceded to America in the Treaty of 1783. I want you to
stay focused on the money and the commerce which was not ceded to
America.
This brings us to the Declaration of Independence. Our
freedom was declared because the king did not fulfill his end of
the covenant between king and subject. The main complaint was
taxation without representation, which was reaffirmed in the early
1606 Charter granted by the king. It was not a revolt over being
subject to the king of England, most wanted the protection and
benefits provided by the king. Because of the kings refusal to
hear their demands and grant relief, separation from England became
the lesser of two evils. The cry of freedom and self determination
became the rallying cry for the colonist. The slogan "Don't Tread
On Me" was the standard borne by the militias.
Forgotten Amendment
The Articles of Confederation, Article VI states: "nor shall
the united States in Congress assembled, or any of them, grant any
Title of nobility."
The Constitution for the united States, in Article, I Section
9, clause 8 states: "No Title of nobility shall be granted by the
united States; and no Person holding any Office or Profit or Trust
under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of
any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever,
from any King, Prince, or foreign State."
Also, Section 10, clause 1 states, "No State shall enter into
any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque or
Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but Gold
and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of
Attainder, ex post facto of Law impairing the Obligation of
Contracts, or grant any Title of nobility."
There was however, no measurable penalty for violation of the
above Sections, Congress saw this as a great threat to the freedom
of Americans, and our Republican form of government. In January
1810 Senator Reed proposed the Thirteenth Amendment, and on April
26, 1810 was passed by the Senate 26 to 1 (1st-2nd session, p. 670)
and by the House 87 to 3 on May 1, 1810 (2nd session, p. 2050) and
submitted to the seventeen states for ratification. The Amendment
reads as follows:
"If any citizen of the United States shall Accept, claim,
receive or retain any title of nobility or honor, or shall, without
the consent of Congress, accept and retain any present, pension,
office or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king,
prince or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of
the United States, and shall be incapable of holding any office of
trust or profit under them, or either of them."
I want you to notice in the first paragraph that the king
refers to himself as prince of the Holy Roman Empire and of the
United States. You know from this that the United States did not
negotiate this Treaty of peace in a position of strength and
victory, but it is obvious that Benjamin Franklin, John Jay and
John Adams negotiated a Treaty of further granted privileges from
the king of England. Keep this in mind as you study these
documents. You also need to understand the players of those that
negotiated this Treaty. For the Americans it was Benjamin Franklin
Esgr., a great patriot and standard bearer of freedom. Or was he?
His title includes Esquire.
An Esquire in the above usage was a granted rank and Title of
nobility by the king, which is below Knight and above a yeoman,
common man. An Esquire is someone that does not do manual labor as
signified by this status, see the below definitions.
"Esquires by virtue of their offices; as justices of the
peace, and others who bear any office of trust under the
crown....for whosever studieth the laws of the realm, who studieth
in the universities, who professeth the liberal sciences, and who
can live idly, and without manual labor, and will bear the port,
charge, and countenance of a gentleman, he shall be called master,
and shall be taken for a gentleman." Blackstone Commentaries p.561-562
Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and John Jay as you can read in
the Treaty were all Esquires and were the signers of this Treaty
and the only negotiators of the Treaty. The representative of the
king was David Hartley Esqr..
Benjamin Franklin was the main negotiator for the terms of the
Treaty, he spent most of the War traveling between England and
France. The use of Esquire declared his and the others British
subjection and loyalty to the crown. All these men did is gain status and privilege granted by the
king and insure the subjection of future unaware generations.
Worst of all, they sold out those that gave their lives and
property for the chance to be free.
So what was agreed & signed, was created between British crown & British subjects as they had noble titles, not 3 men holding to be free Americans. Can you see the seriousness of thequestion arising from this issue?
Regarding the payments we see in article 2 of Jay's treaty 1794 that the crown still has troops on US soil
http://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyameric … aty/3.html& in article 6 of the treaty deals with debt and taxation to the British crown & article 12, well it is the British king dictating terms for US citizens, & this after so called independence. John Jay Esqr. (again the noble title arises which no US citizen was privy too).
Hey I'm still trying to get my head around considering the facts.
Apercentage of taxes that are paid are to enrich the king/queen of England. For
those that study Title 26 you will recognize IMF, which means
Individual Master File, all tax payers have one. To read one you
have to be able to break their codes using file 6209, which is
about 467 pages. On your IMF you will find a blocking series,
which tells you what type of tax you are paying. You will probably
find a 300-399 blocking series, which 6209 says is reserved. You
then look up the BMF 300-399, which is the Business Master File in
6209. You would have seen prior to 1991, this was U.S.-U.K. Tax
Claims, non-refile DLN. Meaning everyone is considered a business
and involved in commerce and you are being held liable for a tax
via a treaty between the U.S. and the U.K., payable to the U.K..
The form that is supposed to be used for this is form 8288, FIRPTA
- Foreign Investment Real Property Tax Account, you won't find many
people using this form, just the 1040 form. The 8288 form can be
found in the Law Enforcement Manual of the IRS, chapter 3. If you
will check the OMB's paper - Office of Management and Budget, in
the Department of Treasury, List of Active Information Collections,
Approved Under Paperwork Reduction Act, you will find this form
under OMB number 1545-0902, which says U.S. withholding tax-return
for dispositions by foreign persons of U.S. real property
interests-statement of withholding on dispositions, by foreign
persons, of U.S. Form #8288 #8288a
These codes have since been changed to read as follows; IMF
300-309, Barred Assement, CP 55 generated valid for MFT-30, which
is the code for 1040 form. IMF 310-399 reserved, the BMF 300-309
reads the same as IMF 300-309. BMF 390-399 reads U.S./U.K. Tax
Treaty Claims. The long and short of it is nothing changed, the
government just made it plainer, the 1040 is the payment of a
foreign tax to the king/queen of England. We have been in
financial servitude since the Treaty of 1783.
