What is an American State National?

The intent of this paper is to provide a brief overview for People, public servants, and other agents of government
to aid in their interaction with the rising number of Americans correcting their lawful status in this country.
According to FOIA requests performed in 2018 there were approximately 45,000 American State Nationals (ASNs)
in the united States, as of the beginning of May 2022 the Department of State reported just over 2.5 million. As
of December 2022, there are 15 million American State Nationals. This movement is rapidly growing because it is
inherently a peaceful, grassroots way to restore our Republic lawfully, in the court rooms, without violence using
the foundation laid down by our Founding Fathers and the weight of U.S. Code. The vast majority of ASNs despise
violence, we live according to God’s Laws, love thy neighbor, and do no harm. This movement shall not be
construed as anti-government, We the People believe in our founding papers and the rule of law, we are however,
vehemently against corrupt government. We the People are NOT US Citizens, and we absolutely are NOT
sovereign citizens. We the People have never renounced our lawful, Dejure, U.S. Citizenship, we have however,
repudiated and corrected our status.

To truly understand what an American State National is we must first go back to the founding of The united States
for America. In the beginning each of the colonies entered the union as sovereign and independent Nation States.
At the time of the founding of the nation, history books, especially those written around the 1850’s and prior refer
to the people living in this country as inhabitants (not residents) and statesmen (not citizens). The founding
fathers are referred to as Pennsylvanians, Virginians, New Yorkers, Ohioans, or more specifically, as American
State Nationals. That is why, to this day “American State National” remains a lawful status identified in Title 8 USC
Section 1101 (a) (21) & (23). Further evidence of the Lawful nature of this status is confirmed by the State
Department issuing passports which reflect this status. When passports belonging to ASNs are run by law
enforcement the Lexus Nexus system indicates “Do not detain, Do not Interrogate, 50 state concealed carry for
life”, this is due to the fact that ASNs have limited diplomatic immunity. Limited diplomatic immunity indicates
that unless there is an injured party, no crime has been committed, ASNs operate under Constitutional and
Common Law as well as Trust Law. As American State Nationals, We the People are the creators of government;
Maxim of Law: That which one creates, one controls. We the People are restoring our status, standing, and
jurisdiction.

Application of Law

To further understand the implications and scope of Limited Diplomatic Immunity we can establish how the
government currently utilizes the law through a series of questions.

1. What is the origin of LAW and how is it that someone can write something down on a piece of paper and
hold me, a man (mankind) accountable?
a. Natural law comes from Genesis Chapter 1 verses 26-28; where God created the Land, the Air, and
the Water and this is LAW. There exists a hierarchy of Law, as in nature, the Air is above the Land,
which is above the Water, these are the juris of law.
 2. So, then what does jurisdiction really mean?
a. Since juris means “of law” and diction means “the words we use” it is deduced that the words we
use determine the right form of LAW we are operating under.
b. LAND: The law of the Land is common law, common to all mankind, it pertains to all property,
equity, superior title, and Rights. This juris denotes supreme law laid down by We the People in
the form of Organic Laws which are identified in the Front Matter of the United States Code as
The Declaration of Independence (1776), the Articles of Confederation (1777), the Northwest
Ordinance of 1787, and the Constitution for the united States.
c. AIR: The law of the Air is ecclesiastical, or cannon law, also described as Trust Law. This juris
denotes superior law, the highest form of law, that which is held in trust is held for the benefit of
another. All governments are established and held in trust. The Bible is a trust indenture.
d. WATER: The law of the Water is Admiralty, or commercial law, also described as Contract Law.
This juris denotes the lowest form of law, it only applies to that which is incorporated.

3. What is the difference between legal and lawful?

a. Lawful is of the Land, while Legal is of the Water. Legal does not apply to a man or woman.

A simple, everyday example of Juris-diction is observed in the act of moving from one place to another through
the use of roads. One who operates a motor vehicle operates in commerce, thus indicating Water juris. One who
travels upon the roadway in their private automobile operates in the private, thus indicating the Land juris. Since
the average American obtains a driver’s license (commerce) and registers their automobile as a motor vehicle
(vehicle in commerce) by sending the manufacturer’s statement or certificate of origin (MSO/MCO) which is a
superior title (Land juris) to the state, they are beholden to Traffic (commerce) Laws. Since the state holds the
superior title they technically own the vehicle, which gives them the jurisdiction to administrate over the motor
vehicle’s use.

The Unlawful Conversions

For the first unlawful conversion, American State Nationals have a saying, “The 13 th Amendment freed the black
slaves, and the 14th Amendment made us all slaves”. Prior to the Ratification of the 14 th Amendment in 1868
there was no such thing or lawful status as U.S. Citizens. The root definition of a citi-zen: citi means municipal
while zen means servant; thus, a citizen is a municipal servant, or an employee of government. The US Citizen
status was created by government, enter the maxim of law: that which one creates one controls.

The second unlawful conversion began with the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 when the united States
went from a Dejure (of God) government of the Land (juris) to an Incorporated, Defacto (without fact) government
of the Water (juris). The Supreme Court has ruled that since government has chosen to incorporate they must
follow the rules of corporations, reference the Administrative Procedures Acts. Today nearly all entities acting as
government (under color of law) are registered as private for-profit service corporations (like Walmart) with a Dun
& Brad Street (dnb.com) number.

The combined effect of these unlawful conversions results in a constructive fraud converting We the People into
employees of a corporate system of government, beholden to its corporate bylaws, in the form of Rules, Codes,
and Statutes. Reference Supreme Court decisions (Dejure; Constitutional Article 3 Court):
  “All codes, rules, and regulations are for government authorities only, not human/Creators in accordance
with God’s laws. All codes, rules, and regulations are unconstitutional and lacking due process…”
[Rodrigues v. Ray Donavan (U.S. Department of Labor) 769 F. 2d 1344, 1348 (1985).1]
 “The common law is the real law, the Supreme Law of the land, the code, rules, regulations, policy, and
statutes are “not the law”, [Self v. Rhay, 61 Wn (2d) 261]

“A ‘Statute’ is not a Law,” (Flournoy v. First Nat. Bank of Shreveport, 197 La. 1067, 3 Sold 244, 248), A “Code’ is
not a Law,” (In Re Self v Rhay Wn 2d 261), in point of fact in Law, A concurrent or ‘joint resolution of legislature is
not “Law,” (Koenig v. Flynn, 258 N.Y. 292, 179 N. E. 705, 707; Ward v State, 176 Old. 368, 56 P.2d 136, 137; State
ex rel. Todd. v. Yelle, 7 Wash.2d 443, 110 P.2d 162, 165).

STATUTE. [Blacks law 4th edition] The written will of the legislature, solemnly expressed according to the forms
prescribed in the constitution; an act of the legislature.

Since American State Nationals are the rightful creators of government, not employees, we are not beholden to
the corporate bylaws (hence the source of the limited diplomatic immunity). We the People through our
cornerstone right of self-determination are electing to restore our lawful birthright status as American State
Nationals by the thousands. We recognize that the U.S. Citizen status was applied to us without full and honest
disclosure. Through the constructive fraud of the birth certificate, we are made the purser (persons) aboard
vessels (All caps name) which have a superior title (Certificate of Live Birth), which in turn is registered with, and
held by the respective “State of” corporation.

This overview also exposes the truth of sovereign citizens, since one cannot be sovereign (as a king) and a citizen
(slave to the corporate structure), the phrase in and of itself is an oxymoron. American State Nationals view
sovereign citizens as fools with no proper understanding of our Dejure government and the Defacto corporate
system that has systematically taken its place. Sovereign citizens cannot lawfully obtain a Passport from the U.S.
State Department that reflects their status because they do not hold a lawful status, they have renounced their
citizenship and effectively divorced themselves from BOTH the Dejure and Defacto systems of government.
