The Military Containment Field “All Is War”
The Trading With the Enemy Act, Military Occupation and Emergency War Powers
It is important to frame all of this discussion into the legal context to understand how the great American Dream of sovereign standing and free people was inverted into the American Nightmare of perpetual bondage and eternal debt containment. This of course is a vast subject requiring significant study, but there are essential building blocks that can be briefly discussed.
It all distills down to the mechanics by which a free people were converted to voluntary servants and enemies of the state. Following the Civil War and the abolishment of involuntary servitude (slavery) the process can be seen in its simple equation as transposing involuntary servitude into voluntary servitude. This involved the passage, enactment and implementation of various building blocks during the Civil War and afterwards into the 1930s (and beyond).
The primary building blocks are:
1. The Lieber Code issued under the authority of martial law commander-in-chief Abraham Lincoln on April 24, 1863 that established the manual for rules of war and military occupation for the United States. This later became the foundational template for international treaties for the same purpose on a global scale; and
2. The creation of the Civil Body (under federal control and jurisdiction) through the Civil Rights Acts of 1866, 1870, 1871 and 1875140; and
3. The Fourteenth Article of Amendment that defined a “U.S. citizen” as a “person born into or naturalized into the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereto”. The amendment also established the inviolate and uncontestable nature of the debt of the United States including “…pensions and bounty for services in the suppression of insurrection and rebellion” against the United States, thus tying together the two components of U.S. citizenship and perpetual debt; and
4. The Reconstruction Acts of 1867 ad 1868142 that established Military Districts that occupied the defeated Southern States (ten States placed into five Districts). Military districts were later extended throughout the United States by extending its jurisdiction into ten districts that correspond to the 10 ZIP code areas, where ZIP is actually an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan where the postal zones are fictional overlay territories in the federal zone created to be military districts.
