INTERNATIONAL NOTICE
Kenneth O’Keefe

Updated 11/05/11

“Resist always the defeatist views of the cynics who voluntarily relinquish their power and claim that nothing can be done to create a fair and just world.”

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 was terrorism;

WHEREAS, the invasion of Panama was terrorism;

WHEREAS, using Depleted Uranium in Puerto Rico, Iraq, and the Balkans, was 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,” 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;
