That's what I started pondering after reading THIS article.

I started this thread before watching THIS video originally posted by DCGRITS in his thread HERE.
It all makes perfect sense now. JFK created the special forces before he was killed. He knew there had to be a section that wasn't controlled by the Deep State. I now believe there is a section of our military that is still part of the Republic. The rest of the military is owned by the corporation.
I find this to be much more factual and succinct take on the CORP US topic: https://teamlaw.net/Mythology-CorpUS.htm.
It is not a counter argument to OP's article, in fact it backs up most of what it says. But it stays out of the theory side of it, such as "you own nothing, born in debt, essentially a slave, etc.).
One key difference is, this take (the one I posted) posits that it was all legal and essentially loop holes (my words) that allowed US CORP to be formed and take so much control. It also seems to conclude that our original federal government is still legally intact (nothing was dissolved), just compromised by layers of contracts and laws.
I also think it is a better source of material if you are going to attempt to engage a normie on this topic.
