Anna Von Reitz and the American State National Movement
Who Is Anna Von Reitz?
Anna Maria Riezinger, known publicly as Anna Von Reitz, serves as the self-proclaimed Fiduciary for "The United States of America" - a distinction she makes from what she describes as the corporate entity operating as the U.S. government. Her work has been instrumental in popularizing concepts within the American State National movement.
The American State National Movement
The American State National (ASN) movement is built on the premise that there are two distinct political statuses available to Americans:
U.S. Citizen (14th Amendment)
- Created by the 14th Amendment in 1868
- Subject to federal jurisdiction
- Considered a "franchise" of the federal corporation
- Limited constitutional protections
American State National
- Original political status of Americans
- Sovereign capacity within their state
- Full constitutional protections
- Not subject to federal statutory law
Key Claims from Anna Von Reitz
The Three Governments
Von Reitz describes three separate governments operating in America:
- The United States of America (unincorporated) - The original government of the people
- The United States (incorporated) - A municipal corporation
- THE UNITED STATES (incorporated) - A territorial corporation
Birth Certificate Fraud
The claim that birth certificates create a corporate "strawman" identity that is traded on financial markets, while the living person remains unaware of this dual identity.
Remedy Through Paperwork
Von Reitz advocates for filing specific documents to:
- Correct political status
- Reclaim the "strawman" identity
- Establish standing in common law courts
- Opt out of the corporate system
Connection to Constitutional Restoration
The concepts promoted by Von Reitz connect to broader constitutional restoration efforts:
Prerequisites to Office
Her work emphasizes that officials must meet constitutional prerequisites - oaths, bonds, and proper credentials - to legitimately hold office. Officials who fail these requirements are acting in private capacity.
Void Ab Initio
The principle that actions taken by illegitimate officials are void from the beginning connects to her claims about the fraudulent nature of the current governmental structure.
Quo Warranto
The constitutional remedy of challenging an official's authority to hold office aligns with her emphasis on proper credentials and accountability.
Practical Applications
For those interested in these concepts, practical steps include:
- Research: Study the historical documents and legal frameworks
- Status Correction: Consider filing documents to clarify political status
- Community Building: Connect with others pursuing similar goals
- Official Accountability: Use public records requests to verify official credentials
- Constitutional Remedies: Learn to use tools like Quo Warranto effectively
Critical Considerations
While these concepts resonate with many, it is important to note:
- Courts have generally not accepted sovereign citizen arguments
- Filing improper documents can have legal consequences
- The complexity of these claims requires careful study
- Professional legal advice should be sought for specific situations
Conclusion
Anna Von Reitz's work represents one perspective within the broader constitutional restoration movement. Whether one accepts all her claims or not, her emphasis on accountability, proper credentials, and citizen sovereignty aligns with fundamental American principles.
The tools provided by Unalienable Redemption - from the Public Records Generator to the Quo Warranto templates - offer practical ways to implement these concepts within established legal frameworks.
