The use of the word citizen in law, showing how a citizen is the subject of government and not the other way around as preached by patriots for centuries without understanding what the law actually says about citizen. I do not need to elaborate how you are a slave to the system that you yourself caused when wanting to be a citizen of anything, whether a town, city, county, state or United States.
Note the key word Allegiance.
This is why there are very few Christians left in America. I would venture that out of 350 million, maybe 10,000 really exist. You are not one of them if you are a citizen of any one entity that I mentioned four sentences back. You forsook the Lord when you left His citizenship, Eph 2:19 and clung to Mammon giving Mammon allegiance. You can give only one allegiance and that's why God said He cannot help you if you leave Him and clung to Mammon.
Now you can see why everyone loses when attacking Mammon in Mammon's courts. You are an insurgent, as I wrote in the War Powers acts. If you, as a citizen thereof, complain of taxes, ad infinitum as a "member of the community" who has given allegiance freely and voluntarily when claiming "my Constitution... yada, yada, yada, ...and the government protects my rights and so on.
Really? When you took back the allegiance owed to the Lord who gave you all those natural rights and transferred it to Mammon and got only privileges that they call rights of the subject (citizen), what did you expect, a better life?
Read on to see what you have done to voluntarily yourself.
So the question begs, did the government force you to Leave the Lord and cling to them? You got what all citizens want, someone to tell them what to do and repeatedly rob them over and over and incarcerate them in droves. Did the Lord ever keep prisons; make you register your means of travel and charge you for a license; ever charge property tax on the land he gave freely to everyone; to be forced chemicals in medical situations, to get a license to marry; to build a house?
How about the term UNDER IT'S CONSTITUTION? Did the Lord have but 10 commandments compared to all the laws the citizen has to abide by as a member of Mammon's community as a citizen? Did the Lord ever give out passports like Mammon does? How about birth certificates that put you in commerce?
See how you are looked upon in Black's fourth Ed, Law dictionary in legal terms, when the Lord only dealt in words. Civil rights are not natural law rights by any means. And, lastly; To the Lord, are you a MAN He created, or a person that mammon created? Do all statutes made by mammon address the Creation of the Lord, namely MAN or do they only apply to the fiction called person? Find any statute that uses a man instead of person, the artificial character they say you operate as? I put no comments in this but only highlight words and phrases so you can see how bad a hand you dealt yourself.
Did the "government" hold a gun to your head and say you owe me allegiance or we will shoot you if you don't become a citizen member of our corporation and deny the Lord Almighty? Then who do you have to blame?
