The greatest fraud ever perpetrated on the American people is the idea that the “States” are sovereign governments.

They’re not. They are corporations. They operate in commerce. They enforce policy under color of law. And they abandoned their lawful authority the moment they traded the republic for revenue.

This State Fraud Series is not opinion. It’s legal fact—proven with founding documents, constitutional quotes, Supreme Court rulings, government records, and the State’s own admissions.

We expose how every “State” today is just a federal franchise, operating under corporate charter, enforcing unlawful statutes as if they were law. Every property tax, every license demand, every police stop, every courtroom hearing—it’s all part of a massive jurisdictional fraud.

You were never under their authority—unless you consented. This series shows you how to prove it.

What You’ll Learn in This Series – The hidden corporate structure behind every State.

Why “sovereign immunity” is a legal fictionHow State courts are Article I contract tribunals—not real courts. The fraud of state-issued “laws,” licenses, and taxes.

How to destroy jurisdiction claims point by point using the Constitution and Supreme Court rulings.

Why your rights come from God—not government—and how to assert them without fear.
