It's a shame that since all citizens have sovereignty that the reporter doesn't have a clue of what it is. My ancestors, that came here in the mid 1700's fought & gave their lives IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR for it!!
Just because some radical idiot decided to use his sovereignty in the name of murder doesn't make us any less sovereign. Neither does it make us any less American because he was, it just makes him a murdering radical idiot & we have those in all walks of life. For those of you that don't have the knowledge of who you are here it is....by the way when finish finding out who you are you can hear it, stated here by rep. McCotter stated on the senate floor

What is Sovereign Citizenship? Sovereign Citizenship is the status held by our forefathers. George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and everyone else who won their freedom from the British Empire had this status. It was the birthright of all Americans, and we were generous in extending this most important right to foreign-born persons through the naturalization laws. With this status, our unalienable rights of life, liberty, and property couldn't be infringed. During the Civil War a method was discovered by the leading attorneys, financiers, and politicians of the day to deprive us of this status.
The word "sovereign" is defined in the 6th edition of Black's Law Dictionary, published in 1990, as being, "A person, body, or state in which independent authority is vested; a chief ruler with supreme power; a king or other ruler in a monarchy." Prior to the War for American Independence, the British king was the sovereign and the American people were his subjects. The war's outcome changed all this:
The sovereignty has been transferred from one man to the collective body of the people - and he who before was a "subject of the king" is now "a citizen of the State."
State v. Manuel, North Carolina, Vol. 20, Page 121 (1838)
Thus, the people became Citizens of their respective states. But more importantly, for the first and only time in recorded history, the people were recognized as being the true sovereigns:
It will be sufficient to observe briefly, that the sovereignties in Europe, and particularly in England, exist on feudal principles. That system considers the prince as the sovereign, and the people as his subjects; it regards his person as the object of allegiance... No such ideas obtain here; at the revolution, the sovereignty devolved on the people; and they are truly the sovereigns of the country, but they are sovereigns without subjects... and have none to govern but themselves...
Chisholm v. Georgia, Dallas' Supreme Court Reports, Vol. 2, Pages
471, 472 (1793)
Each individual, at least so far as respects his unalienable rights is his own sovereign. These rights weren't given to any government. In fact, they can't be. Perhaps you can give up all of your rights, if you so choose, but who has the power to give your rights up for you? In America, no one can, because we're all equal. In American this principle of popular sovereign is recognized by all governments - state and federal. When the states became independent, the state governments were formed, all of them based on the authority of the people, and not the will of one man or a small body of men. The federal government as we know it today was created in 1789 when the federal constitution went into effect. The constitution mentioned something previously unknown in American law: Citizenship of the United States:
The term, citizens of the United States, must be understood to intend those who were citizens of a state, as such, after the Union had commenced, and the several states had assumed their sovereignties. Before this period there was no citizen of the United States.
Manchester v. Boston, Massachusetts Reports, Vol. 16, Page 235
(1819)
Thus a Citizen of a state is, by the federal constitution, made a Citizen of the United States.
A citizen of one state is to be considered as a citizen of every other state in the union.
Butler v. Farnsworth, Federal Cases, Vol. 4, Page 902 (1821)
A Citizen of any one of the states is considered and treated as being a Citizen of all of them. The phrase "Citizen of the United States" does not refer to a separate class of citizenship:
A citizen of any one of the States of the Union, is held to be, and called a citizen of the United States, although technically and abstractly there is no such thing. To conceive a citizen of the United States who is not a citizen of some one of the States, is totally foreign to the idea, and inconsistent with the proper construction and common understanding of the expression as used in the Constitution, which must be deduced from its various other provisions.
Ex parte. - Frank Knowles, California Reports, Vol. 5, Page 302 (1855)

The producers and other staff members of 60 Minutes should be ashamed of themselves. No wonder Lowell Bergman jumped ship. Byron Pitts' inquiry into the doctrine of Sovereign Citizens was obviously biased. It is truly unfortunate that the responsible parties at 60 Minutes would allow the presentation of such a deterioriated standard of reporting. Additionally, I would like to comment on the specific issue raised in the interview with respect to the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. The comment was made that the 2nd Amendment was not created and/or included in the Constitution "so that we could go duck hunting"(or words to that effect). I would submit that the intended meaning of that comment, and related comments, is that we as American citizens have(or should have) the right to defend ourselves with the use of force if necessary. This would, I imagine, include the right to defend our personal physical safety as well as to defend the sanctity and safety of our personal freedom(s). If this is in fact an accurate assessment, then I would simply pose the question, is it our right to protect the sanctity and safety of our personal freedom(s) if they are in fact being threatened or are being attacked by our own Government? I would submit that the answer to this question is "yes, absolutely". The only other comment which I would like to offer is simply this: There will never be a "perfect government" just as there will never be a "perfect society". This is due simply to the fact that both are comprised of "human beings" and human beings are imperfect. It has been reported that humam beings utilize approximately 5% of their intellectual capacity. One look at the current global situation will confirm that assessment. Regardless of the origin, human beings possess the "gift of reason". Unfortunately, this gift has not matured, directly resulting in the reality that the current state of the human condition amounts to nothing more than a picture of sophisticated ignorance. You people are so lost. You deserve the world which you have created for yourselves. It is unfortunate that your descendants will be the ones who ultimately bare the brunt of your ignorance and, more importantly, your arrogance.

Sinistrare: from Latin; meanings - to cause damage, injury or harm.
Sinistra: from Latin; meanings - left, sinister.
We Americans "are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights."
unalienable = un-a'lien-able; two pronunciations, for the same word.
It means that no government may lawfully a'lien (place liens or claims) upon the fruits of our energy (our lives) or our property and its enhancement (the pursuit of happiness.)
As long as we do no damage, injury or harm to another we Americans are free to enter into lawful contracts and, free to generally do what we want. Lawful contracts are those entered voluntarily under mutual consent where all elements of the contract have been fully disclosed to all parties.
The United States Corporation was founded in 1868, 3 years after Lincoln was executed.
(Title 28 USC 3002 Section 15A states that the United States is a Corporation.)
In 1861 because the US government did not recognize the departure of the southern states it lacked a quorum to form a lawful Congress. Lincoln stepped in with the very first Executive Order called Field Order No. 100 to open a de facto Congress. That's what we have today, a de facto Congress and a country in a constant state of war ruled by Executive Order.
Before the Civil War and de facto US Corporation was founded, foreign central bankers made two attempts to control us through our money. Their first of two 20 year charters ended in 1811. In 1812 they financed the English Army to come here and burn down our nations new capital city. Their second 20 year charter ended in 1836.
After the Civil War the de facto US Corporation created a new class of citizenship in its 14th Amendment where all "US citizens" are liable for the debt of the corporation but have NO STANDING to challenge the debts. This new overlord made all "US citizens" subservient to it. It nationalized all negro slaves and made servants to it. Through guile and deceit it gradually (decades) converted all white people to "US citizen" class servitude too.
Add 50 years and the foundation is ready for a new (anonymously owned) central bank. In 1913 the US Corporation brought in our masters, the Federal Reserve. They replaced our lawful money with their "legal tender." To use their paper instead of our lawful gold and silver they force us to pay income and property tax. Their charter was 20 years old in 1933 when FDR stole all gold and property from the American people and gave it to the central bankers. He forced all newborn Americans to get Birth Certificates. As a result the energy of each and every "US citizen" is now collateral for US bonds.
The US Corporation is a for profit company doing business under color of government. If you think you own your house or car, try not paying the taxes or registration fee. They will lien your house and car, then confiscate them. If you think you own your body and your labor, try not paying income tax. If you don't they can garnish your wages and incarcerate you. If taxes are not enough they can just borrow and print as much "legal tender" into their accounts as they want and send you the bill for the principal and interest. Their corporate policies may be legal under their corporate law but they are wholly unlawful under the Constitution for the united States of America, 1787.
