From the private papers of Woodrow Wilson:

“Very soon, every American will be required to register their biological property (that’s you and your children) in a national system designed to keep track of the people and that will operate under the ancient system of pledging. By such methodology, we can compel people to submit to our agenda, which will affect our security as a charge back for our fiat paper currency.
 

“Every American will be forced to register or suffer not being able to work and earn a living. They will be our chattels (property) and we will hold the security interest over them forever, by operation of the law merchant under the scheme of secured transactions. Americans, by unknowingly or unwittingly delivering the bills of lading (Birth Certificate) to us will be rendered bankrupt and insolvent, secured by their pledges.
 

“They will be stripped of their rights and given a commercial value designed to make us a profit and they will be non the wiser, for not one man in a million could ever figure out our plans and, if by accident one or two should figure it out, we have in our arsenal plausible deniability. After all, this is the only logical way to fund government, by floating liens and debts to the registrants in the form of benefits and privileges.
 

“This will inevitably reap us huge profits beyond our wildest expectations and leave every American a contributor to this fraud, which we will call ‘Social Insurance.’ Without realising it, every American will unknowingly be our servant, however begrudgingly. The people will become helpless and without any hope for their redemption and we will employ the high office (presidency) of our dummy corporation (USA) to foment this plot against America.”

Every Pennsylvanian should read and know our Pennsylvania Declaration of Rights.

And our Declaration of Independence - In Congress, July 4th, 1776

 We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.  That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

The purpose of this course is to provide background understanding relating to the fact that our identity as Americans has been stolen. Understanding that our identity has been stolen goes even deeper as we realize that during the civil war area, the original American Republic has been set aside and effectively replaced with a corporate (for profit) structure. It is clear that we must reconstruct our Lawful Government in order to bring the correct oversight of our employees back into balance, to bring American Common Law and our courts back into session, and reconstruct our Peacekeeping functions of State Militia, Land and Soil Jurisdiction County Sheriffs, and the Continental Marshals, so that we may address any trespass that occurs within our jurisdiction.

Familiarization with the contents of this training course will provide a “road map” that will enable Americans to more confidently live after they correct their political status, gain understand of self-governance and most importantly, come to value personal responsibility in the pursuit of lawful self-governance. It is your duty to Uphold the Public Law and Keep the Peace.

A private business operates outside the statutory or corporate system, adhering instead to natural law and private contractual agreements. This approach allows individuals to conduct business while maintaining their sovereignty and avoiding entanglements with government-regulated entities. Anna von Reitz and similar proponents emphasize the importance of lawful business structures aligned with land and soil jurisdiction rather than maritime or statutory law.

Starting your own common law private business involves:

1. Declaring your political status as an American State National.
2. Structuring your business as a private membership association (PMA), unincorporated business, or other private entity.
3. Drafting private contracts to govern relationships with clients or members under common law.
4. Operating without licenses unless engaging in specific regulated activities.
