Iowa Republican Breaks the Crazy Meter

A whackjob conspiracy theory for the ages:

A Republican state Senate candidate in Iowa has decided to bow out of the race and become a U.S. senator of an alternative form of government.

In a letter released Friday, Randi Shannon informs supporters of her new position as “U.S. Senator in the Republic of the United States of America.” You see, according to Shannon, the U.S. government has been acting unlawfully as the “‘official government,’ which clearly it is not!”

In a letter that thanked “my fellow Ron Paul for President Supporters, My Fellow Members of Liberty, My Friends who home school as did I, the many Pro-Life Members who have been so supportive of my candidacy over these past few months,” Ms. Shannon explains that the Original Republic for The United States of America, formed in 1787, was “abandoned” during the Civil War. Then in 1871 the 41st Congress replaced it by the UNITED STATES CORPORATION, the name of which apparently must always be typed in ALL CAPS. Perhaps this confuses the black helicopter pilots.

Anyway, a group dedicate to restoring the constitutional government of the Republic for the united States of America — and it’s “for,” not “of,” and they always lowercase “united,” which must Mean Something — organized in 2010, and this group has reconstituted the legitimate government:

On July 21, 2010 “We the People” of the de jure government proclaimed worldwide and made our “Declaration of Sovereignty for the Republic for the united States of America” to The Hague (a.k.a. the International Court of Justice), the Universal Postal Union (UPU) and the United Nations (UN). On September 23, 2010, the first session of congress was convened by the united free Republics of the re-inhabited united States of America. The seating of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches of the Republic government were successfully established. This was completed by more than the required two-thirds majority vote of “We the People” on the land of the independent Republics. Delegates from more than 42 free Republics (States) attended, and officers for all three branches of our government have been officially sworn into office, lawfully electing interim President James Timothy Turner and interim Vice President Charles Eugene Wright, along with other established cabinet members with a presiding majority vote of 94% approval. Thus, the Republic government is officially re-inhabited and staffed for the first time since 1868 by the will of “We the People”.

How they did this without “We the People” even knowing about it is not explained.

The de facto UNITED STATES CORPORATION was unlawfully established by the forty-first congress in 1871 by deceptive means and without proper consent from “We the People”. The American people were placed under involuntary servitude by a “Legal” system of laws that have continually violated the “Constitution for the united States of America”, “Bill of Rights” and the “Declaration of Independence”. The corporate constitution was changed from the original form, wherein Amendments were unlawfully added and removed without the people’s consent. Since 1871, the abuses of this corporation upon both the international community as well as the American people are inestimable and unconscionable. De facto Congress has repeatedly violated their Oaths of Office, fiduciary responsibilities, and in many cases, committed treasonous acts against “We the People” of the united States of America and the world.

We humbly come forward apologizing for the numerous atrocities we have unknowingly allowed the U.S. CORPORATION to carry out upon the international community. It is our mission to establish the American image of truth, honesty, integrity and honor around the world. Our plan is to rebuild our economy and support other economies around the world, fulfilling humanitarian needs. We will allow our military to withdraw from unnecessary conflicts around the world and promote world peace and prosperity. We intend to follow God the Creator’s command to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and care for the sick, irrespective of creed, religion or race. There is no law against these things.

We are calling on the support of all Nations around the world to help us end the tyranny that has been perpetrated by the unlawful actions of the UNITED STATES corporate government. We shall achieve this goal PEACEFULLY AND LAWFULLY, with boldness, integrity and truth, so help us God.

Not enough tinfoil in the world. Although what I really want to know is if the official FLAG of the united States — “united” must never be capitalized, remember, unless it is in ALL CAPS — has a gold fringe on it or not. Inquiring minds, etc.

BTW, the 1871 act that set up the UNITED STATES CORPORATION was the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871, which established DC as federal territory. Seriously. The act (read here, scroll down a bit to start) established the District of Columbia as a “body corporate for municipal purposes.” I regret I don’t have time this morning to read the act all the way through, but as far as I got I see that it spends a lot of time outlining the form of government for the District of Columbia. I didn’t get to the part where the federal government was re-organized.

Maybe one of you can find the part about the UNITED STATES CORPORATION, although you may need to wrap yourself in duct tape and recite the Magna Carta backwards to do so. Otherwise it might be invisible.

    Truth be told, I kind of like their goals.

    At least those goals weren’t given to them by a talking dog telling them to shoot people in Lovers Lane’s.

    And when you were taking about breaking ‘The Crazy Meter,” and I saw Iowa, I immediately thought you were talking about on of the most moronic assholes in Congresses history, nay, in American history – Steve “Salmonella” King, and his latest escapades in barking at the moon, and trying to ensure that ALL American citizens have equal access to salmonella, as is their right:

    http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/07/14/1109675/-Iowa-s-Steve-King-finally-plucks-the-chicken

    There’s also a King ‘abusing the chicken’ joke, or two, or three, or four, here – but it IS Sunday, and I’m a respectful kind of feller.

  2. Don’t be too hard on him. He wants comprehensive welfare (feed the hungry) and an end the America’s empire of bases. He’s almost a leftie! His naive error is that it’s not enough to ‘allow the military to withdraw from unnecessary conflicts’; in addition one must not order it to start those conflicts in the first place.

  3. I think one continually violates the Declaration of Independence the way this statement continually violates the grammar of the English language and the principles of sentence structure.

    I was amused that the first page I found in Googling to do more research had text at the top hinting that various different people were in a legal dispute (or is that a “Legal” dispute? I’m not sure) about copyright and plagiarism.

    That page goes on to rant about the use of the all-caps “THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA”, (“Note the capitalization, because it is important.”) which somehow managed to create an entirely new document, though, I must note, scanning through the images of the text of the bill at the Library of Congress shows no such all-caps passage.

    And, though I could imagine them wound up about the subtle distinction between describing a disparate group of States as united, in “united States of America” and the more singular entity referred to by “United States of America”, I also note that the Library of Congress shows the usage of the “United States of America” in bills earlier than the DC government bill, but again, none in all-caps.

    (or is that ALL CAPS!!!)?

    I hereby apologize to the screenwriters of the movies National Treasure and National Treasure 2, because clearly their plots are NOT the most ridiculous, threadbare and silly ‘hidden truth’ concoctions involving our national documents, as I had previously charged. Compared to this stuff, those movies seem like dry documentaries.

  4. If these idiots knew a single goddamn thing about US history other than what Ron Paul tells them, they would be able to trace the problem back to its real source–the Constitution. If you want to argue that the federal government is illegitimate, you don’t need some nutbag conspiracy theory, you just need to point out the convention that wound up drafting the Constitution wildly exceeded its authority by doing so. They were only supposed to be proposing revisions to the Articles of Confederation. So if you wanted to argue that the Confederation Congress is the only legitimate government of the united States, you would actually have a case that was based on something other than pure flatulence. You’d still be wrong, but at least you wouldn’t be making a total fool of yourself.
