DECLARATION
OF DE JURE STATELESS STATUS
EFFECTIVE UPON RENUNCIATION OF MARCH 1 2001
Quilibet
Potest Renunciar Juri Pro Se Inducto
Anyone May Renounce A Right Introduced For His Own Benefit
WHEREAS,
citizenship is synonymous with Allegiance, I have absolutely no Allegiance
to the UNITED STATES of AMERICA;
WHEREAS, citizenship is synonymous with Residence,
I maintain no Residence in the UNITED STATES of AMERICA;
WHEREAS, citizenship is synonymous
with paying taxes, I pay no tax to the UNITED STATES of AMERICA;
WITH REGARD TO HAWAII, by virtue of "UNITED
STATES PUBLIC LAW 103-150", the U.S. has legally confessed to
the international crime of conspiracy by overthrowing the "sovereign and
independent Kingdom of Hawaii";
WHEREAS, PUBLIC
LAW 103-150 further concedes that "the Hawaiian people never
directly relinquished their claims to their inherent sovereignty" as a
people or as a nation;
WHEREAS, in accordance with PUBLIC
LAW 103-150, and superior Public International Laws, I recognize
the Kingdom of Hawaii as the de jure (lawful) Government of Hawaii, as will
all individuals and nations that honor law;
WHEREAS, Independence is synonymous with Freedom,
the human right of Self Determination embodies the essence of Freedom;
WHEREAS, UNITED STATES Law, Public International
Law, and Human Rights Law all affirm the right of Self Determination;
WHEREAS, every nation, state,
or person violating the right of Self Determination is an enemy of Freedom;
WHEREAS, "We the People," out of fear,
have unwittingly relinquished our superior power in the face of a tiny minorities
greed, manipulation, threats and violence;
WHEREAS, "We the People," can take that
power back at the very moment we realize that it is ours, and many of us have
already done so;
WHEREAS, I call on the people of the world to exercise
their inherent dignity and inalienable right to Self Determination in defiance
of the "New World Order."
WHEREAS, I call for non-violent lawful resistance
in every form;
WHEREAS, I recognize oppression as the primary
cause of violent resistance;
WHEREAS, the IMF, WTO, World Bank and the UNITED
STATES create and enforce oppression;
WHEREAS, I embrace all my brothers and sisters
around the globe, whether black, white, yellow or brown, who bravely resist
oppression "By any means necessary." But I urge all such warriors
to hit the oppressors at their most vulnerable weaknesses, non-violence, truth
and law;
WHEREAS, the UNITED STATES is the only Western
democracy in the world that opposes the newly founded International Criminal
Court (ICC);
WHEREAS, the UNITED STATES stands side by side
with China, Libya, Israel and two thirds of the "Axis of Evil," North
Korea and Iraq, in opposing the establishment of the International Criminal
Court;
WITH REGARD TO SO-CALLED "TERRORISM",
we must distinguish between true terrorism and politically defined terrorism.
The true definition follows:
· terrorism, n. The use or threat of violence to intimidate or cause panic, esp. as a means of affecting political conduct. Black's Law Dictionary
WHEREAS,
the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Nation was terrorism;
WHEREAS, the extermination of aboriginal Americans
was terrorism;
WHEREAS, the enslavement of Africans was terrorism;
WHEREAS, Hiroshima and Nagasaki was terrorism;
WHEREAS, the bombing of Southeast Asia was terrorism;
WHEREAS, military and economic supplying of Suharto
was terrorism;
WHEREAS, the loyal support and aid of Apartheid
South Africa was terrorism;
WHEREAS, the entire U.S. foreign policy of Central
and South America is terrorism;
WHEREAS, the invasion of Panama is terrorism;
WHEREAS, using Depleted Uranium in Puerto Rico,
Iraq, and the Balkans, is terrorism;
WHEREAS, the "Patriot Act" is terrorism;
WHEREAS, the "American Servicemembers Protection
Act" is terrorism;
WHEREAS, the "War on Terror," is terrorism;
WHEREAS, the overwhelming majority of "U.S.
Foreign Policy" is based on terrorism;
WHEREAS, the UNITED STATES of AMERICA, by virtue
of the historical facts, is the "Greatest Terrorist" of the 19th,
20th and 21st Centuries;
WHEREAS, I call on the unrepresentative, fascist,
de facto, terrorist government of the UNITED STATES to be abolished and replaced
by its opposite;
WHEREAS, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
is the single greatest terrorist organization of the 20th and 21st Centuries,
and I call on the CIA to be abolished, as did John F. Kennedy shortly before
his assassination;
WHEREAS, the true terrorists of this world, the
CIA, the U.S. Federal Government, and others, are vile cowards and dupes who
hide behind lies and secrecy in the name of "National Security" and
the "War on Terror";
WHEREAS, I HEREBY REJECT the farce known as the
"War on Terror," which is in reality the ultimate "War on Freedom";
WHEREAS, the UNITED STATES has no lawful authority
to designate any individual, group, organization or nation as a terrorist;
FURTHERMORE, I hereby declare that I will support
whatever individual, group, organization or nation I choose regardless of the
absurd labeling of the UNITED STATES;
WHEREAS, the continued designation of Cuba as a
"Terrorist State," by the UNITED STATES, is yet another embarrassing
farce;
WHEREAS, I stand with the Cuban people and they're
highly respected and popular leader, Fidel Castro, for whom I have tremendous
respect;
WHEREAS, Cuba is a truly independent nation, a
nation whose leaders have not sold out the interests of their people to "Foreign
Investors" who would rape and plunder. A nation whose leaders, unlike virtually
all other puppet governments of the world, have not become rich for their "Service";
WHEREAS, the "New World Order" as carried
out by the UNITED STATES for over half a century and most notably by George
Bush Sr. and George W. Bush Jr. is the single greatest threat to all life and
freedom that the world has ever known;
WHEREAS, "If you're not with us, your with
the terrorists" (George W. Bush - Sept. 20, 2001), I hereby declare that
I am not with George W. Bush nor the U.S. Government, nor any entity loyal to
them;
WHEREAS, under the so-called "Patriot Act,"
"Law Enforcement Agents" in the U.S. can legally kidnap "Suspected
Terrorists" with no "Due Process" (by law), forcibly and indefinitely
imprison them on U.S. military bases (by law), beat them (by law), torture them
(by law), be denied chosen legal representation (by law), denied all contact
with the outside world (by law), found guilty of "terrorist" crimes
based on secret evidence and witnesses in a secret military tribunal (by law),
and yes, executed (by law);
WHEREAS, the traitorous actions of the U.S. Federal
Government through the passage of the "Patriot Act" has destroyed
all civil rights the UNITED STATES Constitution and Bill of Rights were intended
to protect;
WHEREAS, the UNITED STATES serves as a model for
the "New World Order," and is now officially a "Police State"
and will likely be under full "Martial Law" during George W. Bush's
presidential term;
WHEREAS, the UNITED STATES
has officially declared by law, that the President reserves the right to use
"all means necessary and appropriate" to bring about the release from
captivity of U.S. or allied personnel detained or imprisoned by or on behalf
of the ICC. Literally interpreted, the U.S. has threatened to invade the Netherlands,
a comparatively free and democratic society, should it employ the mandates of
Public International Law;
WHEREAS, a world that allows the U.S. to "Lead"
a so-called "War on Terror" in the name of "Freedom" and
"Democracy" and the "Rule of Law" dooms itself to increasing
terror, murder, and self-destruction;
WHEREAS, the UNITED STATES has no regard for its
own laws or International Law, unless it works to the benefit of the U.S.;
WHEREAS, the UNITED STATES fears more than anything
a mass awakening of human consciousness and a true and equal application of
the "Rule of Law";
WHEN THE TRUTH BE KNOWN, George W. Bush will be
identified for what he is, a traitor. A traitor whose will to power caused him
to sacrifice his own people for untold profits through the Carlyle Group and
oil interests. A traitor who by legitimate law, and even his own fascist laws,
could be imprisoned for life or executed for high treason and mass murder;
WHEREAS, I publicly charge George W. Bush with
active participation and/or direct involvement in the events of 9-11 for the
purpose of advancing the "New World Order" and his personal wealth
and power;
WHEREAS, I publicly charge George Bush Sr. and
the UNITED STATES Government with "War Crimes" for its systematic
Human Experimentation on myself and 600,000 other "Servicemembers"
through the use of Pyridostigmine Bromide pills, Anthrax and Botulinum Toxoid
vaccines, and exposure to Depleted Uranium during the "Gulf War";
WHEREAS, I publicly charge George Bush Sr. and
the UNITED STATES Government with "Crimes Against Humanity" for its
systematic use of Depleted Uranium (DU) in Iraq, the Balkans, and Puerto Rico,
with full knowledge of the hideous biological affects of DU radiation exposure
on the health of the civilian population;
WHEREAS, I and others have proof of every charge
made within and I challenge any and all persons, especially within the U.S.
Government, to a public debate on these accusations;
WHEREAS, the current absence of a permanent international
court with the power to address legitimate 20th Century Crimes demands that
the newly formed ICC fulfill this necessary role. Should the ICC neglect to
do this, myself and others will work for the formation of an independent tribunal
to file legal charges against the UNITED STATES for the above crimes, and more;
WHEREAS, as a peaceful, lawful person I pre-emptively
denounce any future criminal charges against myself as a political attack intended
to silence me;
WHEREAS, I denounce true terrorism and will never
be a terrorist;
TO THE CITIZENS OF WESTERN NATIONS, it is our fear,
inaction, and blind ignorance of propaganda that has thus far led us to endorse
(through acquiescence) the UNITED STATES in "Leading" the so-called
"War on Terror";
TO THE CITIZENS OF NON-WESTERN NATIONS, some of
us from the West are truly ashamed of the historical and ongoing crimes of our
nations and are committed to a process of true justice for all past and present
crimes;
REGARDING POLITICAL ASYLUM IN HOLLAND, I was compelled
to leave my home, family and Nation of Hawaii in order to avoid imprisonment
and continue my role in the peaceful and lawful struggle for Hawaiian Independence
and Global Justice;
WHEREAS, UNITED STATES Judge, David L. Fong, unlawfully
issued an $11,000 Bench Warrant for my arrest on November 30, 2000;
WHEREAS, this $11,000 Bench Warrant is proven unlawful
by the official audio recording of court proceedings on Nov. 30, 2000 and the
official court transcript. (tape #W00-146: 414-464, Wahiawa);
WHEREAS, the action of the dishonorable Judge Fong,
a sworn agent of the U.S., is a direct attempt by the UNITED STATES to intimidate
and punish me primarily for my participation within and Allegiance to the Lawful
Hawaiian Nation;
WHEREAS, this arrest warrant remains active to
this day, in spite of its unlawful issuance and several attempts by myself to
effect a legal remedy;
WHEREAS, I am not a criminal and am not fleeing
any lawful prosecution;
In Recognition of the Above Facts, I acknowledge
the nation of ones birth as an involuntary consequence, not duty. Therefore,
I Kenneth Roy Nichols have Lawfully Renounced my UNITED STATES citizenship in
accordance with U.S. Law, Public International Law and Human Rights Law, in
favor of Statelessness; effective March 1, 2001;
WHEREAS, I have legally and voluntarily Renounced
my U.S. citizenship and relinquished my US passport, # 120689595, to officials
of UNITED STATES Consulates, twice (Us Consul Steve Giegerich - Vancouver 3-1-01/US
Vice Consul Carl Risch - Amsterdam 11-26-01);
WHEREAS, I have publicly burned US passport #120689595
at the UNITED STATES Consulate in Amsterdam because it was returned to me for
the second time;
WHEREAS, I claim the rights of no passport for
any nation,
WHEREAS, I hold no US Social Security card;
WHEREAS, I hold no US drivers license;
WHEREAS, I claim no benefit, OF ANY KIND, from
my former US citizenship;
WHEREAS, the might of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA
is powerless in denying my Free Will, and therefore, there is no slave,
subject, puppet or citizen for the UNITED STATES in Kenneth Roy Nichols;
WHEREAS, I will exercise and defend the Human Rights
inherent in all people no matter who would attempt to deny them and no matter
what the risks;
WHEREAS, I Kenneth Roy Nichols am a Self Determined
Free Person of Planet Earth, and hereby pronounce my lawful status, effective
March 1, 2001, as Stateless.
