Status Options

There are three statuses that have always coexisted on American soil. Most Americans have never been told they had a choice between them — or that they were placed into one without their knowledge at birth. Learning which position you are currently operating from is where everything begins.

The birthright status

American State National

The freeborn birthright status. Free, sovereign, and independent. Operating on the land and soil jurisdiction. Claims constitutional guarantees and protections as the Secured Party Creditor of this country. Nationals are not obligors of U.S. Bonds, U.S. Bills, or U.S. Notes i.e. debt and instead exerts exemptions.

The first foreign status

U.S. Citizen / British Territorial Citizen

A voluntary foreign status for those loyal to the British Crown. The status most Americans have been enrolled into at birth — without disclosure, without consent. U.S. Citizens are the actual obligors of debt; as citizens they have an obligation to pay that debt.

The second foreign status

Citizen of the United States / Municipal Citizen

A second foreign status under the Municipal Government in Washington DC, operating under Roman Civil Law. Most Americans carry both foreign statuses simultaneously.

State nationals are learners and action-oriented people — not legal fictions. They are aware that claims of ownership and standing need to be declared in order not to be presumed a foreign citizen in their own country. The decision to claim this status is sometimes called a jurisdictional arbitrage — a shift from a position that blocks opportunity to one that allows the living man or woman to operate as the Secured Party Creditor they actually are. Source: The distinction between U.S. citizenship and American state national standing has federal legal basis. 28 U.S.C. § 3002(15)(A) defines “United States” as a Federal corporation. United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542 (1875) established that this corporate United States has its own citizens — a separate and specific class of citizenship distinct from the birthright standing of Americans on the land.

Who Can Become a State National?

Anyone born in this country can reclaim their birthright as an American — as a Texan, an Illinoisian, a New Yorker, a Californian — on the land and soil of the state they were born on. The rights of a state national are derived from the land upon which one stands and one’s relation, or status, to that land. For those born in another country, a minimum of seven years in America with documented proof is required to adopt a state and establish state national standing. If you were born in Washington DC, you can claim your birthright through your parents if they were born in America.

The historical basis of state national status Historically there are two paths to record a claim: by birthright — being born on a Union State — or by adopting a Union State as your country of domicile. In America, each Union State is considered a country, and the people born on each state make up the nation of their nation-state. One’s rights are derived from the laws of Descent and Distribution. In order to guarantee the protections of one’s inheritance and birthright, proper public record of claim and standing must be made — while rebutting and predating false claims made by other entities asserting foreign citizenship claims of custody over your name and person. These rights originated with the Articles of Confederation and the Declaration of Independence and are attached to the land called America. They have never been extinguished. They have only been obscured.

Record vs Registration — The Distinction That Changes Everything

When you were born — as a living boy or girl — two things could have happened. Your birth could have been recorded in the land and soil jurisdiction, identifying you as a living child with a birthright status tied to your family and your origin. Or it could have been registered — entering a corporate legal entity in your name into a foreign administrative system, carrying a political status that was never truly yours. American children were supposed to be recorded. What happened instead, beginning in the 1920s, was that their births were registered — without disclosure to their parents of what registration meant, what political status was being assigned, or that any alternative existed at all.

Your birth was registered, not recorded. Registration created a separate legal identity in your name and placed that identity into a system of obligation — without your knowledge and without your consent.

Source: Kitchens v. Steele, 112 F.Supp 383 (1953): “A citizen of the United States is a citizen of the federal government.” This legal finding clarifies what U.S. citizenship actually means in federal parlance — a relationship with the federal corporation, not with the land and soil of the several states. It underlines the importance of Americans declaring their allegiance to the land of their nativity rather than to a federal citizenship status. The birth certificate you were given is not a record of your life as a living person. It is evidence of a registration — the creation of a corporate entity in your name. The all-capitals name on that document — JOHN MICHAEL DOE — is that entity. It is not you. It carries presumptions, obligations, and limitations that belong to it, not to the living man or woman standing behind it.

Your Trade Name — The Asset That Was Never Yours to Lose

Your Trade Name is the name your parents gave you at birth — the name they spent time thinking about and gifting to you. It is your given name. It should have been recorded, not registered, at the time of birth. Instead, it was registered by a foreign corporation — creating what amounts to a copyright claim on the name itself. That name, recorded in all capital letters on your birth certificate and on every government document you have ever been issued, was enrolled in a foreign jurisdiction as a corporate asset. The living man or woman bearing that name was left without a properly recorded claim to it. Reclaiming your Trade Name is the process of reasserting your interest in it — recording it properly as a land asset, in the upper and lower case form that corresponds to a living man or woman rather than a corporate entity. Your name is your asset. The process of state national status begins with learning and reclaiming it.

The Three Persons — Me, Myself, and I

You have heard the phrase your entire life and never knew what it meant. There are three components to your full lawful identity — and most Americans are only aware of two of them.

The Lawful Person

The foundation of your full lawful identity — and for most Americans, the completely missing component. The Lawful Person is what connects you to your land. It creates the standing to assert the rights, guarantees, and protections that belong to a properly declared, recorded, and published American. This is the position state national status restores.

The Legal Person

The incorporated legal entity created by registration at birth. Subject to codes, statutes, and administrative obligation. This is the entity the system has been administering on your behalf — and for its own benefit.

The Commercial Person

The entity through which commercial activity is conducted — contracts, transactions, and commerce in the sea jurisdiction. The position from which most Americans unknowingly operate their financial lives, subject to the rules of the commercial system.

The complete picture — Lawful Person, Legal Person, and Commercial Person — is sometimes described as a non-statutory trust between all three. The Lawful Person is the bridge and the foundation. Without it, the living man or woman has no established standing in the land jurisdiction — and the other two persons operate entirely within foreign systems, subject to their rules.

The Constitutional Foundation — What Was Actually Created

The Constitution for the united States of America — note the exact name, which differs from what most Americans were taught — is a document of dual nature. It is both a trust document and the articles of incorporation of a unique inheritance. Learning it as a trust changes how everything else is read. The Preamble fulfills the requirements necessary to establish a trust. It identifies the Grantors, the Statement of Purpose, the Grantees, the Statement of Intent, the Written Indenture, and the name of the entity being created. The founders followed the common law of England — stretching back a thousand years — in structuring this document so that it would have the force of ageless law. The founders’ intent was to secure and pass on the sovereignty of the people to the people of future generations of Americans, in perpetuity. That sovereignty — the standing of the people as the source of governmental authority rather than its subjects — is what state national status reclaims.

What was done — and what can be undone You have been unlawfully converted off of the roster of the people. By your own hand — without knowing it — you have signed off on decades of undisclosed contracts, acquiescing to vacating your claim to your birthright by adopting a foreign country’s citizenship deceptively named to impersonate your inheritance. This is not irreversible. As things are bound, so too they are unbound. The process of correcting your status on the public record — for the American General Public — is exactly that: a correction. A restoration of what was always yours. Not the creation of a new status, but the recovery of the one that has been obscured. Source: Congressional Record, June 13, 1967, pp. 15641–15646: “A citizen of the United States is a civilly dead entity.” This statement entered into the federal Congressional Record further clarifies the nature of U.S. citizenship as a legal status — and why declaring one’s standing as an American on the land produces a fundamentally different legal position.

Where Most People Stop — And What Is on the Other Side

Most people who discover state national status begin with paperwork. Some complete a basic declaration with a few other supporting documents. Others go further — reclaiming their Trade Name, establishing their Lawful Person, filing UCC documents as a secured party creditor, and building the full foundation of their corrected standing. The most common failure point is not the paperwork. It is what comes after. Someone completes the documents, feels the weight of what they have done — and then waits for something to change. Nothing does. The bank account is the same. The purchasing power is still eroding. This happens because standing without strategy is filing, not freedom. The corrected status opens access to a different set of tools and positions. Using them requires learning the financial system, the monetary system, assets such as precious metals i.e. silver/gold, where the exemptions live, how to assert them, and how to operate as a living man or woman rather than as a corporate entity subject to foreign administration. Using them requires learning the financial system, the monetary system, where the exemptions live, how to assert them, and how to operate as a living man or woman rather than as a corporate entity subject to foreign administration. That learning is what comes after the paperwork — and it is where real change begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a state national?

A state national is someone who has published and recorded their intent to operate on the land and soil in an unincorporated manner. In this educational framework, it means correcting status, reclaiming the name, and learning how to operate privately instead of being presumed into federal citizenship obligations.

Who can become a state national?

Anyone born in this country can reclaim their birthright as an American state national. For those born in another country, a minimum of seven years of continuous residence on American soil with documented proof is required. If you were born in Washington DC, you can claim your birthright through your parents if they were born in America.

What is the difference between record and registration?

Recording identifies the living man or woman on the public land record — preserving birthright political status, tied to land, family, and origin. Registration creates a corporate legal entity in your name, enrolled in a foreign jurisdiction, carrying a foreign political status. Your birth was registered, not recorded. That distinction determines what obligations attach to you and what exemptions are available.

What is a Trade Name in this context?

Your Trade Name is the name your parents gave you at birth — your given name. It should have been recorded, not registered, at the time of birth. Instead it was registered by a foreign corporation. Reclaiming your Trade Name means reasserting your interest in it and recording it properly as a land asset in the upper and lower case form that corresponds to a living person rather than a corporate entity.

What is the Lawful Person?

There are three components to your full lawful identity: the Lawful Person, the Legal Person, and the Commercial Person. The Lawful Person is the foundational component — what connects you to your land and creates the standing to assert the rights, guarantees, and protections that belong to a properly declared, recorded, and published American. For most Americans it is the completely missing piece — the one the system has never helped them establish. State national status restores it.

Is paperwork enough to become a state national?

Paperwork is part of the process — but it is the beginning, not the end. Learning how to operate after your status is corrected is equally important. The corrected status opens access to a different set of positions and tools. Using them requires learning the financial system, the monetary system, and the exemptions that belong to your standing. Paperwork without that learning is filing. With it, things actually change.

What does state national status actually change financially?

Inside the correct status are undisclosed financial exemptions that have always existed and were never disclosed. Asserting them — through revocations, tax-exempt strategies, and reclaiming what belongs to you — often returns dollars to the household immediately. For many people it produces results that feel like a part-time job that was always there, waiting for someone to show up and claim it. The exemptions do not come to you. You assert them — or they remain unclaimed.
