I understand that the act abolished the cities of Washington and Georgetown and made a consolidated government for the entire District of Columbia, but how exactly does this affect the rest of the United States, let alone turn it into a business corporation?

It didn't transform the USA. Instead it created a corporation, established to govern the United States. Ever since, the regular USA Republic has been unstaffed, with positions unfilled. But the corporation called USA Inc has been fully staffed, effectively overseeing and usurping the sovereignty.
That's the eagle's eye view. Reading the actual laws gets very thick in the weeds. But I did read some of the old opinion pieces written about it at the time, and it's clear that some people at the time saw it as selling out the country and enslaving the citizenry. Sorry, no sources but that's what I got after looking into it.
You're one of the few I trust when you say "sorry no source, trust me". Thanks for a broad overview. o7
Thanks. Very kind of you. I read and remember a lot, but I'm bad at keeping my sources. I admire the anons that post with sauce.
For those who want to dig, start with the Organic Act of 1871.
I am very much the same as you like this.
Me too, except for the remembering part.
Kek. Yeah, that happens too.
And the gas lighting that happens.
Same here
People who read a lot of history probably don't recall much of where they read specific items. Or if they do, trying to find 1 paragraph in 1000 pages isn't easy to do.
This is a research board. On important issues like this, you shouldn't even post if you haven't any sources. Human memory is frail, and fanciful to what you would LIKE to believe.
Do yourself a favor. Make this the first post to which you add sources.
Get out your shovel and start digging, anon.
I've done posts that were well-sourced. It seemed that the OP was asking for an explanation of the basic idea not a proof. I think there's room on the board for theory and summary, especially when stated as such.
But if you have proof this concept is wrong, don't hesitate to bash it. Tons of good proofs are uncovered by back-and-forth. Other anons have already chipped in a few data points.
There's a lot of junk out there for the casual googler, and it's all messy and can take a few years off the eyeballs. I made an effort to find some decent ones. https://greatawakening.win/p/16c2425ucg/the-whole-1871-thing-with-decent/
"The only absolute and unqualified right of a United States citizen is to residence within the territorial boundaries of the United States." Supreme Court: US vs. Valentine 288 F. Supp. 957
"The privileges and immunities clause of the 14th Amendment protects very few rights because it neither incorporates the Bill of Rights, nor protects all rights of individual citizens. Instead this provision protects only those rights peculiar to being a citizen of the federal government; it does not protect those rights which relate to state citizenship." Supreme Court: Jones v. Temmer, 89 F. Supp 1226
"..the first eight amendments have uniformly been held not to be protected from state action by the privileges and immunities clause [of the 14th Amendment!." Hague v. CIO, 307 US 496, 520
US Citizenship is Slavery
WE NEED TO OPT OUT!

I firmly believe this is the meaning behind WWG1WGA
Almost .... the positions are being filled.
Yeah, I was wondering about that. It's possible the 2020 election had correct results actually entered in the 37 states that existed at that time (since any states admitted after 1871 wouldn't be in the Old Republic) even while the fraudulent ones were allowed to stand for the corporation. I remember Trump meeting with state legislators after November 2020, and if he met with a quorum from 3/5 of those state, that might have qualified him to be president 19, after Ulysses S Grant while Biden became president of the Corp. Makes me wonder if we have shadow state governments operating as well. (New California anyone?)
If anyone has records or digs of those meetings between Trump and state legislators, we could try to see which states were represented.
Here's a little snippet:

That's a good reminder. Wow, that NPR spin, though. There was a time I really enjoyed their take on things.
I missed that one. Thank you, for this intriguing addition!
Maybe this is a dumb thought, but when Trump on Jan 6 said he would walk with us to the Capitol, did he mean a different Capitol??
Trump is very careful with his words. I don't think it's at all dumb to revisit and analyze them carefully. If he didn't actually join the walk (he didn't, did he?), he might've been referring to a time in the future, and a different place.
Just blown away, wow! Ty for this anon.
Oh. You just kind of u/#MindBlown
So, it was operating "in effect" as a corporation, with the actual certificate of incorporation being filed in 1925? This has always been of interest to me, despite wading through murky documents!
