United States Of Bitcoin — Invoking Article 5 Of The US Constitution

USA/USB Declaration Of Independence & Territory Expansion

Then in the Course of all events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Mathematics and of Nature’s Way entitled to them, a decent respect to the opinions of consciousness requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all beings & entities are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator & as Creators with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Existence — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among beings & entities, deriving their just powers from the consensus & consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government, ruling, terms or guidance becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, new Corporations, new Banks & new Process, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Existence. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly, all experience hath shewn that mankind is more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these States, Nations, Networks and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present United States of America is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over its own States & other Nations. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

It has refused its Assent to State Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

It has forbidden its own Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till its Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, it has utterly neglected to attend to the state laws.

It has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people & special interests, unless those people or interests would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

It has called together Congress at times unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records & Attention, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with its deceptive measures.

It has ignored Representative Consensus repeatedly, for opposing with blatant ignorance, propaganda, and pressure with its Federal invasions on the rights of the people.

It has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of financial strangulation from without, and convulsions within.

It has endeavored to prevent the population of its own States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands controlled by a benighted land manager.

It has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing its obligation to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers & the selection of Judges.

It has made Judges dependent on its Will, public intimidating through propaganda and its approval alone for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

It has erected a multitude of New Offices, Departments, Agencies and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people and eat out their substance.

It has placed among us, in times of peace, mercenaries & propaganda without the Consent of our legislatures or the people.

It has affected to render the Intelligence Agencies independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

It has affected to render the Banking Institutions independent of and superior to the Civil Power.

It has combined with others to subject us to an interpretation foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving its Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

For quartering powerful bodies of dangerous corporations, banks, technology conglomerates & armed forces among us:

For protecting them, by a classification from punishment for any Murders, Espionage or Infringements which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:

For cutting off our Internet access with all parts of the world through censorship, term violations, access manipulating & fear of incursion.

For imposing Taxes, Fees & Fines on us without our Consent:

For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury with coercion, blackmail or plea deals.

For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offenses:

For the abandonment of habeas corpus, posse comitatus & Glass-Steagall.

For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighboring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Territories & States.

For manipulating our options, abolishing our most valuable morals and altering fundamentally the Forms of our national objectives.

For suspending our own State Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

It has abdicated Government everywhere by declaring us within its jurisdiction and waging War against us in courts, online & in our neighborhoods.

It has plundered our bank accounts, ravaged our businesses, overtaken our state lands, arrested users of substances, spied on our networks and destroyed the lives of our people.

It is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & Perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.

It has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the grounds of Federal Law to bear Arms & Code against their Country, to become the executioners, spies & judges of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

It has excited domestic insurrections amongst us with propaganda, economic manipulating and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless algorithms & databases, whose known outcomes & information are an undistinguished destruction by manipulation of all ages, sexes, races and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions, We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury, repeated ignorance & repeated arguments. A Federal Government whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyranny, is unfit to be the ruler or representative of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their own Federal legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the United States of Bitcoin, in BitCongress & The Blockchain, Assembled & Confirmed, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Addresses, solemnly publish and declare, That these Bitcoiners & Bitcoin Users are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent People & Users, that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the United States of America and that all political connection between them and the Federal Government, is and ought to be totally dissolved; in agreement with Article 5 of the US Constitution, to formulate a new government for the people, all people, all entities, all beings, from the United States of America, to all earthly nations, into a new boundary that includes the radius of the Kuiper Belt in its entirety, the solar system as its boundary of 50 AU, to expand past the continental United States of America into the vastness of outer space and that all people within this boundary are as interconnected by the Bitcoin network & the radio waves that connect us together, this modification to our currently dysfunctional government is vital in form and title, that all Free and Independent People, Users & States have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. — And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Bitcoin and our sacred Honor.

Signed — The Free People Of America, The United States & Bitcoin.
