Why Do People Think the United States is a Corporation?
In 1871 Congress incorporated the District of Columbia, and the wording of the Act (along with a few bits of supposed evidence featured below) caused some to speculate that the United States had become a corporation controlled by the international banks.
The simplest rebuttal to this, aside from understanding how things work (as presented above), is pointing out that the Act incorporated and organized D.C., not the United States. D.C. and the “United States” are not the same entity any more than Nashville is the same as Tennessee.
I'm not sure this proves their point.
They're still saying that DC is a corporation.
And this could oddly make sense, seeing as it's now occupied by a hostile power and the military is surrounding it.
As you can see at that thread, the OP (moderator u/NessInOnett) removed it from general circulation after I posted an expansion of the evidence I started here. The OP said:
Your response seems entirely reasonable, and for that reason I've removed the post until I do more research.
What you said seems to line up with the certificate of incorporation (managing US corporations) https://imgur.com/a/mE5uHnP
Definitely don't want to mislead if it's bad info. I need to do some more digging on this. Thanks!
That link from the OP reveals that for USCC in 1925, "the nature of the business and the objects and purposes ... are as follows: To prepare ... articles or certificates of incorporation ... and other instruments relating to the incorporation and organization of corporations." It's a company that creates US corporations. It's not a government agency. The interactions herein should be considered in that light.

Hmm.
No answers.

Yes. Redpill78 does a great job explaining this. I encourage everyone to watch. It's only about 17 minutes at the beginning of the video.
