Again, there was no ratified amendment.

I've seen several copies of it. Doesn't take much research to find these. But that's all fake, right? Because the grifters and liars say so? I mean, like 70% of people in Washington D.C. have LEGAL DEGREES just by coincidence, right?

You do understand that 'Esquire" is a "Title of Nobility", right?

Its ratification would have unnecessarily opened a giant can of worms for potential partisan abuse.

What is this "abuse" you speak of? As if we couldn't be abused by our former tyrants? Please make sense of this statement for me. WIth all the ABUSE we received from our former masters that we fled from, it's now ABUSIVE to prevent these same people from holding offices of leadership over us? You're making zero sense man. I don't think you can justify this remark.

Or, they simply realized that protecting citizens from potential abuse from federal government overreach, was wiser than buying into the anglophobia of the Jeffersonian Jacobians?

Ah, your true colors finally shine. You're a Hamiltonian Federalist at heart!!! aka, a GLOBALIST then. Seeing as how this was the great rift of that time. You're either one or other, right?

When did I say I wanted the British Empire to regain rule over us?

As soon as you said the original 13th was a STOOPID idea. That was the whole point of it. Are we even speaking the same language here?

Constitution already prohibits members of the US government from holding title, receiving gifts etc, unless consent is given from Congress.

No they don't. Hundreds of thousands of "ESQUIRES** infest the district. That's a "Title" my man. A step above Gentleman and below Knight.

I do love sammies. But not noblemen.

Well you love your esquires. Let me ask, are you one of them?

Far from it. I defend the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, and the principles of American republicanism.

And you defend attorneys/esquires holding positions of authority over you. And look what a fine job they've done all these years. Endless deception has ensued.

You ironically seem to enjoy being conned by grifters peddling fake history about what they wrongly allege to be fake history. Both are equally as bad.

So lemme get this straight. You're accepting your servitude and your masters version of history. Do I have that right?

Oh I think you know exactly what it means, but unwilling to accept it.

Nope, I quite literally have no idea what you were trying to say. It made no sense.

Unfortunately yes. But if you want to peddle Benson, good luck.

You're taking the current tyrants word for it. There's literally no evidence two-thirds of the states ratified the 16th. You can't find it anywhere other than somebody "saying so".

Poor dupes dying for such an evil cause.

That's a cool story bro, but you forgot the part about how the union was in hock to the tune of $90Million to the Crown Corporation (City of London), aka your "agents of disunion", and the bill came do 70 years after the Constittion was signed with the original debt of $6Million (Livre). Them's the international banking laws. Our "Federal government", at the time, a "company" ran in the red and just ran up the bill then, just like they do now. The "Civil War" was all about money, as all wars really are. War is commerce and commerce is war. There's nothing new under the sun. None of it had to do with slavery, only a tiny parasitic class could tolerate such an inhuman act in the first place.

This is true. But you don't need to perpetuate fake history to prove it.

So you believe conventional establishment history IS TRUE? Do I have this right? The very people that have lied to us about everything under the sun that we can't easily verify for ourselves haven't lied about our history? You're on the GA board taking this stance? Are you kidding me?

Do you know how many things I've discovered are lies these past 15 years? When I only mention a few things to people, it makes their heads spin. They run for cover because they can't handle even a whiff of what I'm suggesting. And history is about the easiest thing to lie about of them all. That's rookie-level deception.

They've managed to deceive us on dozens upon dozens of far more complex and difficult ruses to pull off. You can take that to the bank. Look what they did with Covid. Not only did they make trillions on one hand, but also reduced some of their liabilities on the other. And to think viruses don't even exist!!! But 99% of the population out there still believes in these boogeymen. And it's a slick deception. Far more complicated to pull off than changing the story around some historical events.

Now, I certainly can't argue that the "conventional historians" BELIEVE in aggregate that the original 13th was NOT ratified and the 16th was. I mean, duhhh, here we are. But I don't happen to agree with this group of brainwashees, unbeknownst to them. Instead, I look at the logic, rationale and reason around why or why not these would have been ratified or not. And I've never seen a compelling argument for the "why not" of the 13th, nor the "why" of the 16th. No conventional explanation makes even a lick of sense!

Not that the 16th matters to me. I'm not a "U.S. Citizen", nor a "taxpayer", those slick LEGALESE words brought to us by the Temple Bar in Westminster, City of London at the Inns of the Court (aka the "Legal System").

Maxim of Law - Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

If you don't know what's going on, then that's your choice. What I can tell you with absolute certainty is that the "American Government" was supplanted by the "Federal Government" (Federal = contract = corporation) after the Civil War coup.

A few years later the "corporation" was invented. And a few years later the "American Bar Association" was formed (1878(. And the rest has been downhill from there. Now, everything our "Contract Government" has done since then has been "LEGAL", although now LAWFUL. Inventing the bogus "U.S. Citizen" status with the 14th amendment got the ball rolling. Then they formed the "Department of InJustice" in the mid 1870s. Then they formed the FBI in 1908. Then came the Federal Reserve in 1913. Then they invented the birth certificate in the 1920s. Then the "Republic" suffered it's 2nd international bankruptcy in 1929 (70 years from 1859) Then FDR declared all "U.S. Citizens" (not men and women) "enemies of the state" in 1933 and collateralized our blood, sweat and tears to appease the creditors. Then they merged REAL common law and equity law in 1938 eliminating any chance of LAWFUL remedy.

The list is a mile long. None of the above is "Constitutional" and I don't think I need to spell out for you why that is as you seem to be knowledgeable enough. They've just walked right over it without a care in the world. To claim "defense of the Constitution" at this stage is really pointless. The Constitution holds no power with these tyrants.

They do and have done whatever they wanted to sidestep it. That a few people can still own guns today is hardly a testament to it. It's all a facade. At the rate they're going, they can hold a vote and just abolish the thing in its entirety and there's nothing anybody could do about it. Seeing as how they can rig elections, open borders, print fake fiat currency at will, and whatever else they please. Sometimes I hope they do it as at least things would be honest at that point. Maybe this will be the "precipice" everybody is looking for. All I can say for sure is they don't care about it and do whatever they please, and have been doing so since 1865. Granted, they've cleverly encroached over long timelines, boiling the ignorant frogs along the way.

Summing up, conventional history is almost all lies, regardless of whether the 99% believe in it or not. If that's your standard for truth, "belief", then there's nothing to argue about. I agree, nearly everybody believes what you're saying. But that doesn't make it the truth.
