On June 18, 1452, Pope Nicholas the V issued the Dum Diversas Apostolic Edict declaring war on the people living on the African continent. This initiated the invasions and warfare that resulte in 12 million people being enslaved in the Americas. The trafficking of these prisoners of war was deliberately called the “Trans Atlantic Slave Trade” in order to disguise it as a matter of commerce and not warfare. Rather then admit that prisoners of war were being trafficked and enslaved, they created the narrative that slaves were being bought and sold as new products using the trademarks “slaves”, “negroes”, and “blacks”. The truth is, they were prisoners of war!
The 1949 Geneva Convention: Article 4 (1) defines prisoners of war and Article 5 states, “the present Convention shall apply to the persons referred to in Article 4 from the time they fall into the power of the enemy and
until their final release and repatriation”
Now ask yourself: have you been released from alien domination? Do you still live in the territory and jursidction of a government created and dominated by an alien people? Have you been returned or repatriated to your ancestral homeland? Were you ever given a choice? Under international law, you still have the status of a prisoner of war until these things happen or you waive your right to claim the prisoner of war status.
Now, if you ask most black people in America if the are citizens of the United States (and hence NOT prisoners of war), they well say, often proudly, yes, I am a citizen of the United States. If you ask them why, they will say “because I have the right to vote”. A few may also mention the 14th Amendment and state that they have a US passport! Some will even boast that they served in the military!
However, even the United States government admits that they can’t positively answer the question regarding the citizenship of black Americans!!!
The US Government has stated in the Brief in Support of Motion to Quash Indictment for Lack of Jurisdiction Under Article III, U.S. Constitution Brought by the Defendant (Imari Obadele and Gaidi Obadele) that
"the issue of whether black folks now within the United States have ever been converted, in accordance with settled principles of universally established law, into United States citizens, and divested altogether of their original foreign African nationality". . . . "is a matter of law."
Recently, a reparations activist in Guyana made the following statement in a WhatsApp forum: "you have voted and hence have voluntarily accepted [that] you are a citizen....prisoners of war don't vote....." In response, I quoted the author of the New Afrikan Military Sciene Institute MSI 2-2 Report (2010): who recently discussed this issue with me:
"To more particularly articulate the point regarding consent, consider:
I did not give my consent to be part of the the polity, US or USA, therefore, imposed exercise of power against my choice or will constitutes force/duress. To employ force to control someone is compelled performance, by definition of US law. Compelled performance is defined as involuntary servitude, which is defined as slavery, which is a violation of the laws of the United States and most State republics. Now, the law , which protects rights of the individual, restrains the imposition of force except in "due process" of law (and a process was established). However, this applies because the people of the polity have all agreed, i.e. given their consent that this is the system and that they are all compliant with it. Now, when people immigrate to this country with minor children, they may get Green Card and then citizenship, and all is well. But, when the child is no longer minor but attains the age 21, he or she must obtain a Green Card and go through the process, or be deported (here unlawfully). I have actually seen this done. It is interesting because, when slaves were purportedly freed, they were never asked (except by Sherman) if they wanted to participate. Matters not how many times your father and mother voted, the logic of the polity's system suggests that upon reaching 21 years of age, you should have been put to question regarding your choice. Why??? "Scott vs Sanford!" At the founding of this polity African descendants, whether free or enslaved, were not considered a part of the polity. At no point have Blacks ever been considered as part of the Founding polity. You are included under the operation of law, 'failure to rebut'. Of course without your full knowledge of the terms such a contract is voidable. Because of Chief Justice Taney's very articulate dissertation in Scott, the 14th Amendment was deemed necessary to create a legal status for Blacks. This is not my opinion, its history. Our history, which the Creed reminds Us of, holds all of the legal points when We recognize contract law and its operation on or condition.”
