The Expatriation Act of 1868 and How Blacks Can Get Out from Under U.S. Taxes by The Self Determination Committee What is Expatriation? The U.S. Congress passed The Expatriation Act of 1868 one day prior to the pronouncement of the ratification of the 14th Amendment. The Expatriation Act of 1868 made official the Congressional view that every individual on earth has the absolute right to expatriate (remove) himself from one government to another if he so desires. The current Expatriation Act is based upon The Expatriation Act of 1968. The 1868 Expatriation Act was, in reality, an effort to cover up a substantial error contained in the 13th Article of Amendment, which reads: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereon the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Now by what international authority did the Congress of the United States have to place upon the Black People of this nation, who were, or whose ancestors and antecedents before them were brought into the Territorial Jurisdiction of this nation by force (not political/ social) in chains without their consent of mutuality? The fact was that the Congress knew they had no such jurisdiction, and so The Expatriation Act was their offer to the Blacks to expatriate themselves, i.e. to voluntarily abandon one’s country, renouncing one’s country and becoming the citizen or subject of another country. After over 200 years of slavery and forced illiteracy by the threat of death if caught reading a book, Blacks had 24 hours to make this decision. Where were Blacks to go, and with what? In this manner, Congress was attempting to free itself of the responsibility for slavery. Repatriation, Reparations and Self Determination should have been offered to the slaves. Since the ignorant Blacks knew nothing of this Expatriation Act, few, if any took advantage of it. A very few did sign papers for this act. The inaction of the remainder of the Blacks (most of us) did, however, in the eye of the Congress, make our future servitude "voluntary" thus conforming to the intent of the 13th Amendment. Contrary to the popular misunderstanding, the 13th Amendment did not free the slaves, but, in effect, removed slaves from the private hands of their Confederate slavemasters, who had lost the war, placing them into the hands of legislative government where African slaves’ descendants continuously to today have their "ownership" as legislated slaves without Self Determination. Blacks of slaves’ descent were without the political process under constitutional provisions until the ratification of the 14th Amendment under martial law as an adhesion contract, making Blacks "person after the law" which is to say that Blacks became legislatively granted citizens "after" the law was passed, without their participation, consent or mutuality, whereas Whites are Citizens "before" the law and their status does not depend on law but on their mutual consent to the law. The legal status of Blacks is continued enslavement, i.e. persons with no choice in their so-called citizenship who were forced to pay taxes with the 16th Amendment. White People pay direct taxes under the Constitution in Article I, Section 2, Clause 3 (1787): "Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States" As such, there are two citizenships in America, one for Whites and one for Blacks, and two direct Taxing structures, one for Whites and one for Blacks, which is racial discrimination. There is also legislated Civil Rights for Blacks and Human Rights for Whites, mutuality contracts for Whites and "adhesion contracts" for Blacks. These differences are in violation of International Law and serve to explain our continued confusion and apprehensions about our legal status in America. How Can Blacks Expatriate from the Racially Discriminatory Laws on Citizenship and Taxation and Get Out from Under U.S. Taxes? Attorney Dr. Robert L. Brock is helping African slaves’ Descendants to get out from under U.S. taxes and racial discriminatory laws, and while there has been no solution for slavery after the deaths of 100 million Blacks plus forced citizenship and forced taxation, by expatriating from the corporate U.S. Government you will not be obligated to pay U.S. taxes. Expatriation does not mean that you will have to leave the United States. You can maintain residency in the U.S. Our current residency is as captives of war. What more to have residency based upon choice via Expatriation, with an end to illegal taxation? Africans did not come to the U.S. to be citizens by choice as do immigrants. You can Expatriate yourself from the United States as a forced legislative person "after the law" as an African Slaves’ Descendant.
