Hi, Jack.
Oooops! I'm glad that I'm not greeting you in an airport...
I find your research to be pretty outstanding...I have only some points to add. Where I don't have any specific reply to your posts, simply means
that I've not found any fault to your posts.

I am suspecting that ol' Honest Abe might have been getting his pockets lined working for someone besides the American people.
I'm more inclined to think that he was pressured into the wrong choice, because he actually tried to
warn the People what was going on: "I
have the Confederate armies in front of me & I have the banks behind me. Of the two, the banks are more dangerous."

Throw away all your notions of what you have been taught in school about the Civil War, and what you have read in textbooks. The propaganda of the
victor is also highly revered.
IMO, this is the key to
Deny Ignorance. Public schools operate under Federal subsidy & my own school experience indicates that there's too
little emphasis on the
intent & meaning of the Constitution & the true cause & effect in American History.
Personally, I would recommend the following reading material to suppliment any public school education
suffered by American ATS readers:
Magna Carta. The basis of bringing official recognition to the ruling power that the People
have certain Rights...And that foremost truth of Natural Law is that the mere
threat or use of violence can enforce those Rights.
Declaration of Independence. The American Colonies provide detailed
examples of the English Crown's violations of the Magna Carta & therefore exercise the Rights of Natural Law to severe their ties to England.
Articles of Confederation. The new nation's first attempts to codify the Natural Law &
establish the rules of how the government must operate under Natural Law...Sort of a "first draft" of the Constitution, simply put.
United States Constitution. A specific codification of limited powers & duties for each of the 3
Branches of government & (more importantly) specific limitations on each Branch. Also sets guidelines of State powers & limitations. Specifies certain
individual Rights under Natural Law (which are specifically
immune to government interference). Although it must be admitted that most (or all)
of these powers & limitations have been violated by government over the past couple of centuries, the Constitution also specifies certain Rights that
must be exercised by the People in order to keep the government in line with Natural Law.
Another body of reading material that greatly explains the
meaning & intent of the Articles of Confederation & the Constitution as the Supreme
Law of the Land (as written by the Founding Forefathers) are the
Journals of the
Continental Congress.

Now we move on to the creation and establishment of the ubiquitous Federal Reserve.
You've done a good job of providing the historical foundation of the Fed Res, but a simple ATS Search, using the keywords "Federal Reserve" and/or
"Fed Res" supplies a lot of info on how they operate today & explain just how deeply the Constitution was violated by the Federal Reserve Act. I
recommend using the Search function because, frankly speaking, there's just way too many threads & way too much researched info to list all pertinent
threads here.
According to what research I've done in this matter, I'd describe the modern US economic system to operate like the use of "corporate scrip"
during the height of the Industrial Revolution...Literally speaking, Monopoly Money.
One other "mistake" made by the government that's closely related to the Fed Res is when corporate entities were granted the equivalent of
Citizenship status...The Founding Forefathers' fight against the dominance of the English Charters was a very large part of why the War of
Independnce was fought in the first place!

It was not only the Federal government that became the private property of the elite international bankers. State government as well, having already
relinquished their sovereignty to the Federal Government in the Civil War, are included as default payment.
The Fed Res, being a "corporation" in its own right (& also affected by the granting of "corporate citizenship"), is what forced the Natural Law
of the Constitution to be superceded by other bodies of law (mostly foreign laws in origin), such as the Admirality Courts & the UCC (Universal
Commercial Code)...As a result, the entire Judicial Branch operates under
corporate law systems instead of Constitutional Law. If you must ever
enter a court in the US, you must be very cautious of the court's
juridiction, because if you try to invoke the Constitution in your defense,
you will be charged with contempt of court & they can make it stick! The descriptions of the variable jurisdictions of the courts were posted slightly
below the spot where I grabbed your quote are accurate.
Even though all Government Officials must swear/affirm a legall-binding Oath to obey the Constitution, they consider it to be a "lesser Oath" when
weighed against the
foreign laws in which their
true loyalties lie. For some examples of how this "hidden law" system effects
everybody in the USA & Quintar's references to people becoming property, refer to
this
thread.

These sovereign individual rights now remain suspended and superseded, by the privileges and immunities of the incorporated U.S. Citizen, as a matter
of public policy, as designated under the 14th Amendment.
What you say about the 14th Amendment is true, as far as
how it's been used against us...However, a look at the Congressional Journals of
those legislators that framed this Amendment specify their
true
intent with it:
While clearly establishing a national rule on national citizenship and settling a controversy of long standing with regard to the derivation of
national citizenship, the Fourteenth Amendment did not obliterate the distinction between national and state citizenship, but rather preserved
it.
And from
Constitution.org:
The Civil Rights Bill was debated on March 8 and 9. Representative John Broomall of Pennsylvania identified "the rights and immunities of
citizens" as including the writ of habeas corpus and the right of petition.[50] Representative Henry Raymond of New York, the editor of the New York
Times and a member of the Joint Committee, proposed an amendment to the bill declaring that all persons born in the United States are "citizens of
the United States, and entitled to all rights and privileges as such."[51] This formulation is similar to what would become the Citizenship Clause of
the Fourteenth Amendment. Raymond explained:
"Make the colored man a citizen of the United States and he has every right which you or I have as citizens of the United States under the laws
and constitution of the United States. ... He has defined status; he has a country and a home; a right to defend himself and his wife and children; a
right to bear arms"
Primarily, they stated that this Amendment was only to provide citizenship to those who did not have it at the time...Including the freed slaves.
However, since it did
not supersede or modify any portion in the main body of the Cosntitution, this Amendment could not be applied to People
who
already had citizenship under the State of birth or current established residence. The problem is that the government generally applied the
14th Amendment to arbitrarily include
everybody for federal citizenship, regardless of any prior citizen status already established!

How can information like this get filtered down to the average American so they can reclaim their sovereignty?
This may be a good
place to start, but I haven't yet found a place that doesn't charge for the specific
info.

Further proof that the Constitution has no basis in the American court system, even in the highest court in the land:
U.S. Supreme Court Denies Certiorari
Another example is how the 1st Amendment has been seriously undermined, particularly concerning the
Right to Petition for Redress of Grievances. This is the primary (& last) recourse
that the People have to
peacefully get the government back on track, but it's being completely
denied by the Supreme Court. Without
this Right being enforced, violent upheaval is the only Constitutional recourse left.
