WHAT is the
NATIONALIST
MANIFESTO?


The Nationalist Manifesto is the legal document that is the basis for the movement to restore the national constitution of the United States. Like any legal document it is somewhat technical, but in that technical detail it constitutes an iron-clad guarantee to the American people that the integrity of the government in the United States shall be restored. Legal principles evolved over thousands of years through experience and practice, but the establishment of the republic after 1776 constituted a departure from the common law that had prevailed in the United States for over a century; the Restoration movement is an effort to restore those legal principles to American life. The purpose of this paper is to explain the Manifesto to laymen, who have no legal education. Unlike the platforms of political parties, or the promises of politicians, the Manifesto is a rock-solid legal document, signed, sealed and guaranteed.

The preamble of the Manifesto sets out the general reasons that the issuance of the Manifesto is necessary. It describes the state of America in the late 20th century, as it "now sinks in an ocean of crime and violence, under a system of government that is powerless and impotent, and unable to restore social peace, or law or justice." Starting out with an appeal to Americans to answer the call of their bleeding homeland, the reader is reminded that this is the "hour of need" that patriotic Americans must respond to with action. "The time of indecision is over."

Americans are reminded that the origin of the republic was as an outlaw, a bastard child born from defiance of constituted law. We are reminded of the ancient heritage of the American people, and of how that heritage has been sold off by a political system that has no anchor in law. The failure of the republic "in the basic purpose of serving the national interest," is invoked as the cause of the issuance of the Nationalist Manifesto, which is an attempt to remedy this flaw by the restoration of constitutional institutions.

The restoration process centers around the revival of the institution of the Crown, which is provided for by the terms of the Nationalist Manifesto. The Manifesto is an appeal made by the claimant to the American Throne, calling upon the people of America "to restore the integrity of the leadership of government." The first actual clause of the document, following the preamble, the Government clause, states forthrightly that the republic has failed and must be dissolved. The failure of the republic is explained as originating in "the corruption and embezzlements of its leadership." The alternative proposed is a restoration of traditional values through the vehicle of a "non-partisan monarch restrained by a constitutional order…" The foundation of this new government is to be a non-political monarchy that delegates political power to the elected representatives of the nation. Of course, the basis for this monarchy is the fact that it is consistent with the customs of Anglo-American law since time immemorial.

The strength of the Manifesto derives of its foundation in the ancient customary law of the American people, which offers a prima facie case against the republic based on its history. Instead of serving as a form of continuity with the ancient laws of the American nation, the republic is a point of departure, a deviation. However, it has also been deliberately misrepresented to modern people, because the founding fathers were not lovers of democratic values, for the state they crafted was a bona fide police state. The bottom line is that any society which is possessed of the institution of slavery is automatically a police state, because that is the only way it is possible for slavery to be perpetuated.

The intent of the Manifesto is to restore popular acknowledgment of the supremacy of the ancient constitution of America, constituted of the observance of the inalienable and immutable legal rights of individuals by the royal government of a national king. The Manifesto, in effect, is the declaration of the intention of the claimant to the American Throne to govern in accordance to law. This necessitates the convening of the nation in a parliament, the traditional representative institution, to give form to the national will. The republic, in contrast, cannot give voice to the national will because it was never designed to treat with the American people as a sovereign nation.

The law as it has been known in the Anglo-American world for over a thousand years is formulated by the king in council, in parliament. This is not as a result of arbitrary arrangements, but because of the evolution of constitutional principles of law over millennia. The republic fails to fulfill these ancient conditions, and therefor "the republic cannot bind the American people to its law." Having no legal authority, the republic cannot be the source of any process for the restoration of legal authority in the United States. Instead, the authority to restore the monarchy in the United States - the executive native to the ancient constitution of America - exists in the people, as "represented in a duly authorized and lawfully assembled parliament of all the estates of the people of this realm." For that purpose the claimant to the Throne has summoned a parliament to meet on January 1st, 2001, on the first day of the first year of the new millennium. And the first order of business for the parliament shall be "to establish such that the laws and liberties of this realm might not again be in danger of being subverted, by passage of An Act Restoring the Crown of the United States of America and Settling the Succession of the Crown."

The claimant to the American Throne is the chief of the common law association Nation of America, who by virtue of the Nationalist Manifesto established a claim upon the American Throne. The Manifesto describes an intensely personal relationship between the American people and their chief, Marc Eric Ely-Chaitlin of the House of David. The document is signed, "Marc Eric, by the Grace of God, King of the organization called the Nation of America… do hereby pledge on Our Sacred Honor, to abide by this Charter of 1993, upon the sitting of a lawfully assembled parliament, should it see fit to invest Our Person with the Office of King of the Government of America." But it also lays out the operating principles of a transition from an illegitimate republican system to the system provided for in great detail by ancient law. The title of "Regent" assumed and used by the traditional chief of the Americans, is used explicitly for the purpose of describing the transitional state of the nation. It indicates the acceptance of the claimant to the Throne of the existence of the republic as the constituted authority, providing the Regency as a focal point for a national dialogue regarding the future of the American nation. The Regency is, in effect, a legitimate political opposition to the institution of the republic, based on the constitutional restoration of the ancient and traditional American kingdom.

One of the most important things the restoration of the American kingdom guarantees, is continuity and freedom. The restoration of the American nation cannot take place upon the ash heap of a civil war, because violence can never solve real problems. The binding force of the American people, that combines them and makes them into a nation, is "the customary and traditional rights, liberties and obligations, and basic political freedom of individuals, as embraced in all forms of putative American law, and the Common Law." By the terms of the Continuity clause, the Manifesto guarantees that the new government that shall take form under the authority of the king shall observe all those rights Americans possess not only due to English common law, but also due to the practices of the American people for the last 220 years, since the independence of the nation from Great Britain. While the republic can never be viewed as legal, the practices of the people during its existence do have legally binding effect, so that the freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, etc., all continue to be guaranteed even more solidly than the Bill of Rights to the Constitution of 1787 guaranteed them. The only difference is that under the constitution of the American kingdom these rights are observed because they represent the exercise of sovereignty by the people, which they have always possessed as a birthright, in contrast to the legal theory of the republic, which views the civil rights of the people as a "gift" of the Bill of Rights, which the American people would otherwise not be entitled to.

The language of parliaments also shows this difference, because when the delegates of the nation meet in a legitimate parliament they do not assert the right to make law, they assert the right to re-claim rights that the people possessed in antiquity. The fiction of the republic is that law is something the Congress makes, which the President must sign. The "legislation" of the republic, couched in the pseudo-legal terminology of the republic, deceives the people, so that the existence of the ancient submerged constitution is obscured. Then when the dictator of the system sets out to carry-out the "legislation" of the Congress, the President is set on a collision course with the nation, for the oath of the President is to protect and defend the Constitution of the republic against all enemies, "foreign and domestic." The oath of the king, on the other hand, does not set the king up against any of the American people. The Regent of the United States observes no domestic enemies among the American people.

The foundation of the American kingdom is based on the reconciliation of the American people of all ethnic backgrounds. The Regency is a concrete alternative to the gaudy decadent republican regime sinking into the Potomac in a swirl of its own sewage. Where the republic embodies a perpetuation of fixed politics, the restoration of the monarchy embodies a democratic representative option that stands to electrify the political landscape of the United States by empowering individuals through recognition of their ancient, ancestral rights and traditional liberties. The Regent cannot become king without the full participation of the nation through a parliament, and as a just and merciful man, the Regent has guaranteed the safety of all the supporters of the republic by the terms of the Amnesty clause, granting them amnesty in an appeal to the common bonds of nationalism. By pardoning the adherents of the republic the Regent demonstrates his intention to found the restored kingdom upon goodwill and goodfaith, instead of recriminations over political differences. The only exceptions being in cases of serious high crimes, once discovered by the legitimate government of the king upon its establishment, prosecutable by due process of law.

The real spirit of the Manifesto is contained in the National Service clause, which states unequivocally that "America is in a state of crisis." The Government of the King shall be founded upon patriotic service to the motherland, America. The king commits to serve the nation for the entirety of his life, and the monarch must, in turn, call upon the whole people to "commit themselves to the service of the Nation," to resolve the crisis. The Service clause declares the intention of the claimant to the Throne "to call on the best minds of the living generations, to utilize the true powers of America, to end the escalating crises which now bury us, and which threaten the very existence of America."

The National Service clause, naturally, is followed by the Political Corruption clause, which states that "any public servant or representative who conducts business to his or her own interest or benefit, at the expense of the national interest, shall be prosecuted for violation of the public trust…" However, it should be understood that the way these principles have to be applied is dependent upon the formation of an American national parliament, which will be entrusted with carrying into effect the clauses of the Manifesto, which upon the restoration of the Crown would become the Charter of 1993. The Manifesto is in fact a kind of contract offer to the American people, and upon their acceptance of this offer, the Manifesto would become a charter, binding upon all succeeding monarchs of the Kingdom of the United States of America.

The Manifesto sets forth a theme that the American people can comprehend, providing for the transition from the republic to the kingdom. The first burden of the restored kingdom is to address the debts of the corrupt and collapsing republic. The kingdom will accept responsibility for the affairs of the republic, but "all funds traceable to the treasury of the republic shall be subject to repatriation to the Government of America of the King." Because the history of republics has included massive embezzlements, should the legitimate and patriotic Government of America of the King find that the bureaucrats of the republic entered into hasty transactions in the final days of the republic, to transfer national wealth to themselves or others, those transactions shall be reversed. The most important authority the Government of the King of the United States must possess is moral authority.

By ancient and established laws the legitimate Armed Forces of the nation may only be recruited in the name of a lawful king. The dissolution of the republic by legal process shall necessitate the transfer of the command of the Armed Forces to the King of the United States of America. The king as commander-in-chief of the nation's Armed Forces obliges the king - a civilian - to stand at the head of the fighting men and women of the nation, and to share with the veterans of the Army, Navy, Air Force and Special Services, the same risks of his person, as they are obliged to make by their oaths of loyalty to the American Nation. The king is not a paper leader, like Presidents of the republic.

The Government of the King is a personal relationship between the people and the king, it is not a ritualized relationship, such as the American people have had with their Presidents, which has elevated the Presidency to the position of near idolatry. Royal authority obliges, it is part of the compact between the king - the living fountain of law - and the people. The exercise of royal authority is dependent upon the conventions of the ancient constitution, which put the authority of the king at the disposal of the ministers of the elected Government in parliament. Integral to this obligation of the king to the nation is the upholding of the fundamental human rights of all the people of the nation, charging the Government of the king with the ancient duty of guardian of the people's rights. The Human Rights clause of the Manifesto asserts that the foundation of the king's authority is based upon protecting and defending the equal human rights of all American nationals. "The violation of any person's human rights shall not be tolerated, and all individuals shall be entitled to the equal protection of the due process of the law, which may be called the Protection of the Crown."

The restoration of the ancient constitution of the American kingdom shall involve the unification of the country into a single nation, which will have the end effect of reducing the independence of state governments. The State Governments clause of the Manifesto establishes a basis for the transition of authority from the republic to the monarchy, without obliterating the historical divisions of the country. "No government of any state shall be of the force of law, unless accredited by the assent of the king-regnant. The monarch may determine, in consultation with the constituent assemblies and duly elected representatives of the people, the boundaries of any state… For the Order of the Nation, states, counties, cities and towns and other governmental units, shall continue to operate, as if under the assent of the King's Government, under the color of law." This is to say that the new Government of the King shall not interfere with the processes of local government, although pursuant to the practices of the ancient constitution, all authority of government shall be subject to the royal authority of the King of the United States, once established. Of course, that authority would only be exercised by the democratically elected Government that would derive from the American parliament.

The Welfare and Education clauses of the Manifesto address the spirit the Regent wants to kindle within America, whereby the country is strengthened by its investment in the people of the nation. The republic uses welfare to buy off the discontent of the masses of poor; the kingdom will offer welfare as a device for making dependents capable of attaining independence; and people who have genuine needs shall be cared for on the humanitarian basis that civilized nations do not allow their own people to perish by neglect. The republic has historically been threatened by a unified population, but the American kingdom shall only be able to thrive if the population attains unity. Therefore the kingdom shall feed on the dissolution of the republic. Education is the primary origin of the notions most people possess regarding their country and its institutions, but the Manifesto derives of the true experience of history, instead of the creedal fictions of the republic. To empower the American people, it is required that they come to comprehend the genuine historic record of the republic, so that they can act to protect the ancient constitution which guarantees their freedom under law. It is for that purpose that the Manifesto sets forth terms that will preserve the principle of public funding of education, for the purpose of promoting an enlightened population. The Manifesto also puts into legal terms the principle that public schools shall be dedicated to education, instead of indoctrination, and unnecessary bureaucracy. Educational institutions should not maintain vast wealth in stock portfolios and art collections, while the costs to students in fees are rising. Instead, the resources of educational institutions should all be dedicated to fulfilling the role of empowering individual Americans with the knowledge they require to function in a free society, something the existing school system has failed to do with flying colors. Again, the specifics on how these changes would be carried into effect would be left to the terms decided by a democratically elected national parliament.

The most important clauses of the Manifesto have to do with how the Nationalist Movement shall address the dissolution of the republic. The Nationalist Movement derives all strength from the patriotism of the American people to the traditional law of the nation, which was restored on 11 April, 1993, by the Cry of Stillwater Bay. The progress of the Nationalist Movement is cumulative, as individual Americans discover the restoration of traditional institutions, for simple knowledge of the existence of the traditional nation has the end effect of inducting the patriotic individual into it. There is no "joining" of the Nation of America. There is no loyalty oath or pledge of allegiance, and no one is sworn to uphold a divided nation, as the republic's oaths swear its officers, who are obliged to protect the Constitution of the republic from all of its enemies, "foreign and domestic." The Nationalist Movement gives Americans the benefit of the doubt that as Americans, they are loyal to America.

The very nature of the republic causes its public support to erode, and the very nature of the American kingdom causes its public support to increase, and the ultimate victory of the restoration of the ancient constitution is just a matter of time. Therefore it is necessary for the Government of the kingdom to take into consideration how it shall address the transition of the country to a constitutional monarchy. For that purpose the Taxes clause of the Manifesto starts out with a definition of the "Spirit of the Government of America of the King." This Spirit has to be carried into effect by the Acts of Parliament, but it is a direct statement of the will of the claimant to the American Throne, should he succeed to the Crown of America.

The intention of the Taxes clause is to draw a distinction between the financial regime of the republic, and the financial policies of the restored American kingdom, so as to make it clear that the kingdom shall constitute a total breach with the past. The tax structure of the republic has been confiscatory for the majority of America's working people, followed by expenditures by the republic without accountability. The "Spirit of the Government of America of the King shall be to protect national resources for the good of the Nation, and to conserve the national treasure, never to waste it." This defines the government as a caretaker of property that belongs to the whole American people, which it must actually use to their benefit, instead of against them.

The Taxes clause flat out declares that the new Government of America of the King would abolish the income tax and inheritance tax, and the Internal Revenue Service. The specific wording of the clause reads: "The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) would be unilaterally abolished and disbanded." The purpose of this is to answer the cries of anguish at the outrages committed by the IRS against the American people, which will only be satisfied with the complete and total abolition of the IRS as a governmental agency. A national sales tax of 5% is provided for, pursuant to implementation by Act of Parliament, which is to supplement a National Trust constituted of the assets of the nation now held by the republic, including land, minerals, timber, oil and real estate, which shall be dedicated to filling the needs of the American people. By cautious management of the assets of the American people, there is no need for them to pay an income tax. The financial organization of the kingdom provides for the collection and accounting for all public funds by the democratically elected Government in parliament, with the assent of the king. These simple acts will bring order to the finances of the country, and enable forensic accountings of the republic to take place, to give the American people a truthful understanding of the real scope of the embezzlements that have taken place since 1776.

The bottom line is that the Federal Government is out of control, and the only way to really get it under control is to shut it down, something that must be done by the majority of the American people by acts of passive non-violent resistance. The only way to coordinate mass actions of passive resistance is to organize a legitimate transitional institution, which is what the Regency of the United States was organized to provide. The goal of the kingdom is to peacefully confront the republic with its own obsolescence, so that the Congress shall actually vote for its own dissolution. In practical terms by the time this takes place the Congress will be irrelevant.

The Federal Employees clause of the Manifesto was designed specifically to address the actual transition of the republic's officials to the new kingdom. The spirit of the transition embodied by the Manifesto is one of magnanimity, and the Employees clause releases Federal Employees from the civil service of the republic, who are obliged by their association with the republic to "patriotically swear or affirm allegiance to the Government of America of the King." The Employees clause sets forth the circumstances for the termination of the legal authority of the republic, which "shall expire upon the investiture of the King by Act of Parliament," all agencies of the government "subject to renewal by Act of Parliament." The purpose of this is to cause a real, ground-up reconstitution of the national government to restore the confidence of the American people in their own government. The Federal Government is so sprawling and monolithic, no one is really sure how extensive it is, how rich it is, or what its agents have been up to. By shutting it down, and boxing up all the documents and archives of the Federal Government, it will be possible for the new Government of America of the King to assess the damage done to the American people by the institution of the republic. The Royal Court of the Regent of the United States sits at Stillwater Bay, in Dana Point, California. When the parliament meets at Dana Point in 2001, the heart of the traditional nation will be at Stillwater Bay, and the Capitol in Washington, D.C. will be a mausoleum to the republic, with the relevance of a museum.

The Charter clause binds the claimant to the Throne to regard the Manifesto as a legally binding promise to the American people, conditioned upon the claimant being invested with the Office of King of the United States of America by Act of Parliament. The effect of the Act of Parliament would be to accept the Manifesto, which would become law as the Charter of 1993.

The final clause of the Manifesto, the Representation clause, sets forth authority for the dissolving of the Congress of the republic, and the "representation of the people… to take place in accordance to the ancient laws of this nation, by a parliament of all the estates of the people of this realm." The Representation clause also re-affirms the principle of the supremacy of parliament, empowering parliament with the jurisdiction to carry out the policies enunciated in the Manifesto, "according to the will of the American people."

The Manifesto sets out a legal guarantee that binds the claimant to the American Throne, so that individuals who accept the authority of the Regent of the United States know what shall take place when the Crown is restored, and the Regent is invested with the full legal office of King of the United States of America. The Manifesto is a public proclamation to all Americans that offers them an alternative to the republic. The Manifesto offers America hope, while the republic implodes from its own overbearing weight. The Manifesto ends with "Time is of the essence… If the thought of Restoration can be thought, the deed is also close at hand."

The Manifesto, however, is not to be thought of as a replacement constitution for the Constitution of 1787. Instead, it is closer to the Magna Carta of 1215, a declaration of legal principles as they have always been, rather than any kind of source of institutional power. The Manifesto initiates a dialogue between the people and the monarchy, and their acceptance of the restored monarchy has constitutional significance. Legal authority exists in persons, and their rights to exercise that authority is derived of ancient conventions. That is why scholars say that the Anglo-American constitution is "unwritten," because it is not contained in a single enactment. Instead, it is a body of legal principles and statutes and conventions that define the constitutional powers of legal persons, and the guarantor of those legal persons, the monarch.

The Manifesto is the appeal of the American chief to the American people, to come together and become a nation. If the American people answer this call, and form a nation by coming together, their actions will give life to the nation. Deeds are written in blood and sweat, while words are lost in the wind. The republic is predatory and punitive, and every day it turns Americans away from loyalty to it. In desperation they come upon the Nation of America, where they are welcomed and honored. The vision of the Regency of the United States gives hope that the American future shall be positive and humanitarian; the Regency is founded upon the notion that the American people are innately good, which it invokes by its very existence. By calling forth the nobility in people, it stimulates individuals to make contributions to humanity that make them immortal by the greatness of their hearts. In the end, the armies of the republic can seize territory, but they cannot hold the land. The land exists in the hearts of the American people, and like a jealous lover, once spurned they will never return to the republic's iron grip.
