Citizenship in the United States is constitutionally defined by the first
provision of the Fourteenth Amendment.
All persons born or naturalized in the United
States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United
States and of the State wherein they reside.—from the Fourteenth Amendment U.S. Constitution |

What does it mean to be subject to the jurisdiction of the United States? Here are two simple definitions, from about 30 years after the amendment was
enacted.
SUBJECT ... adj. under the
power of another: liable, exposed: subordinate: subservient....—The American Dictionary of the English Language, 1899 JURISDICTION ... n. the distribution
of justice: legal authority: extent of power: district
over which any authority extends....—The American Dictionary of the English Language, 1899 |

In school, they taught us that the citizens control the government. They even taught us that the citizens ARE the government. Nothing more
is required than the first provision of the Fourteenth Amendment, and two
simple definitions, to show that the teachers lied to us. The citizens
are not the government. The citizens don't control the government.
The citizens don't even have much influence over the government, except to
legitimize it by voting. Rather, the citizens are subject to the jurisdiction
of the government. They can't possibly control the government because
they're controlled by the government.
If citizenship is a choice voluntarily made, then the jurisdiction is legitimate. If citizenship is mandatory, if it's imposed on people against their wills by force, fraud, or coercion, then there isn't any difference in principle between citizenship and slavery.
The alternative to citizenship or slavery is sovereignty. It isn't
offered or granted. To request it is foolish. It exists only
when it's achieved in fact, unilaterally declared and exercised, and successfully defended. If the government proclaims that such a person is within it's
jurisdiction, then the government must prove it. The only possible such
proof is for the government to forcibly control such a person's behavior. It's very simple. Either a person has the power to make his own decisions and control his own behavior, that is, to be a sovereign, or the government must use force, fraud, or coercion to control him. That's the delightful aspect of the situation. The only way that the government can disprove a person's sovereignty is by proving that it's a slave state.![10x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/10x5_Page_Background.gif) An Excerpt From Corporate surveillance This is an excerpt from Surveillance, by Wikipedia.

I downloaded this article on Friday, February 3, 2012.
I expect that, by now, most people are aware of the data collection activities
of Google, and others. Nevertheless, the article remains relevant.
Notice, in particular, how the final paragraph of this excerpt refers to
the grocery store discount cards about which I expressed concerns more than
ten years ago, in my article Hay and Barley Cards. That article is available
on page 1 of the December 2003 issue. For an update, to see how much
worse things are now, I suggest the recent episode of America's Book of
Secrets, titled Big Brother.—editor ![5x5 Page Background GIF Image](../../Images/5x5_Page_Background.gif)
Corporate surveillance is the monitoring of a person or group's behavior
by a corporation. The data collected is most often used for marketing
purposes or sold to other corporations, but is also regularly shared with
government agencies. It can be used as a form of business intelligence,
which enables the corporation to better tailor their products and/or services
to be desirable by their customers. Or the data can be sold to other
corporations, so that they can use it for the aforementioned purpose.
Or it can be used for direct marketing purposes, such as the targeted advertisements
on Google and Yahoo, where ads are targeted to the user of the search engine
by analyzing their search history and emails... (if they use free webmail
services), which is kept in a database....
For instance, Google, the world's most popular search engine, stores identifying information for each web search. An IP address and the search phrase used are stored in a database for up to 18 months.... Google also scans
the content of emails of users of its Gmail
