I have discussed birthright citizenship in prior posts.
- Which United States? The States of the Union do not include Washington, DC, yet the “United States” of the 14th Amendment is the name of the federal government, excluding states.
- Where does the idea of Birthright citizenship come from?
- 14th Amendment citizenship
- So what rights does a 14th Amendment citizen have?
- the 14th Amendment citizen cannot complain
- Are you subject to federal laws?
Now we will study the hidden history of this false authority.
Where does the District of Columbia get the authority to grant citizenship to people in States?
States created the federal government by ratifying a Constitution. States are responsible for controlling what they created. So where does the federal authority come from?
The District of Columbia is a district within Maryland. The District of Columbia is land cession from Maryland. `Cession’ is not the word `ceded’. The word “cession” is used in your Constitution in Article 1, section 8 clause 17 for the government acquisition of Washington DC.
The Constitution does not use words that imply permanent federal jurisdiction, or even federal land title to Washington, DC.
Cession, in ecclesiastical law means, “… vacating a benefice without proper dispensation.” And just in case you were afraid to ask: The word “Benefice” is defined in Black’s Law Dictionary as “A term derived from the feudal law, in which it signified a permanent … estate held by feudal tenure.” Original States are church property. Maryland was the Catholic’s state. If the Pope did not vacate the benefice known as the District of Columbia, then the Pope still has a legitimate claim to this permanent estate held by feudal tenure, and all property attached to it, and all future income from that property.
You are that property.
- I want to remind you that you cannot complain. The Supreme Court says, 92 US 551, “It is the natural consequence of a citizenship which owes allegiance to two sovereignties, and claims protection from both. The citizen cannot complain, because he has voluntarily submitted himself to such a form of government.”
- Georgetown University was founded in 1789 by John Carroll, on land predestined to be become part of Washington DC. Perhaps he had an ulterior agenda, along with his wealthy Catholic neighbors. According to Chapter 17 of historian Dan Goodwin’s book, the Carroll family motto on their coat of arms was changed during this time to “Liberty in all Things”* to infer their liberty to kill Protestants. The Maryland State song still sings of Carroll’s sacred trust, to rhyme with “Thy beaming sword shall never rust.”
- Congress somehow knew when they passed the Residence Act of July 16, 1790 that a large tract of land along the Potomac would become available (By the way, according to British Legal dictionaries, the word `Residence’ means `agent’). And, right on schedule, on March 30, 1791 seventeen Maryland landowners signed agreements with President Washington to donate and sell, what were termed “reservations,” that would become Washington DC. The District of Columbia is a district in Maryland. A state’s border is not changed just because someone sells his property. The District of Columbia is still on Maryland soil. The current Maryland state constitution does not define its’ boarders. Maryland even kept Washington DC from freeing the slaves in 1850. [See Maryland archives Volume 102, Volume 1, Debates 660 at www.mdarchives.state.md.us/megafile/msa The original charter of Maryland www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/states/ma01.htm also see www.archivesofmaryland.net. Notice that the English charter for Maryland requires all exports from Maryland to go exclusively to England.]
Does their “liberty in all things” mean they can have their way with us? Don’t dismiss this distortion of the term liberty. After all, we were warned:
Abraham Lincoln Address at Baltimore 1864:
“We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing. With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men’s labor. Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names liberty and tyranny.”

As further proof that ceded lands remain under their prior law, The United States Supreme Court in 1908 in Ponce v. Roman Catholic Apostolic Church determined: “the municipal laws of the acquired country continue.”
If Maryland can keep Washington DC from freeing slaves in 1850, what chance do you have of being free after you swear an oath to be their permanent ward?
In the words of Lincoln, if you want congress to do as you please with the product of your labor, then you can ask for welfare. But it is incompatible with liberty.
