Republic of Texas PO Box 460554 San Antonio Republic of Texas TPZ 78246 (2l4)-524-2173 (214)-524-8997 fax Jeanette Kinman, Under Secretary of Public Relations FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 19, 1996 Republic of Texas Finalizes Steps Under Law of Nations for International Recognition In a series of three filings addressed to the United Nations dated June 1, June 5 and June 13, 1996, the Republic of Texas has completed all the steps necessary to secure its independence from the United States of America by lawful process under international law. Texas gave notice with respect to Article 12 of Resolution 263 passed by United Nations general assembly December 9, 1948 and ratified by the U.S.A. in 1988, which covers the prevention and punishment of the crime of genocide. Thereby, Texas has perfected its prior standings in foreign relations with the united States and reverts to the April 25, 1838 treaty between them. Thus, agents of the U.S. and officers of its sub-corporation State of Texas can be tried and punished for imposing laws and policies extinguishing the national and ethnic character of Texans. Texas gave the U.N. notice that all treaties, conventions or international agreements which the U.S. may have represented to extend as the contracting party over the territory of Texas by acts of foreign relations are revoked. Hereafter, the Republic of Texas is no longer a member of the United Nations, NAFTA, GATT or military alliances, and no federal bureau may lawfully operate on the soil of Texas. All federal laws are now null and void in the Republic of Texas. Texas demands that the U.S.A. and its political subdivision, the State of Texas, immediately cease and desist their attempts to continue to exercise foreign relations acts and law on the land and territory of Texas and demands that the U.N. general assembly formally recognize the independence and sovereignty of the Texas nation and force its signatory, the U.S.A., to comply forthwith. All people domiciling on the soil of Texas for at least six months prior to June 13, 1996 are now considered the People and Citizens of the Republic of Texas except for foreign nationals and imported prisoners. All private and public debt owed by Texas Citizens to Federal Reserve banks, United States Treasury, the International Monetary Fund or their third-party agencies are cancelled since these loans were made out of created credit instead of based on money. This does not revoke contracts or obligations held between private parties that constitute lawful debt based on lawful exchange and demand. The nation of Texas, its People and its government known as the Republic of Texas will not be responsible for the illusory debt created by the United States or its entity, State of Texas, by and through the acts of March 9, 1933, as amended. This is reciprocal in accordance with the previous acts in color of March 1, 1845, where the United States did not accept the debts of the Republic of Texas. All existing military armaments, equipment, and facilities on, over, or under the soil and waters of Texas are hereby deemed the property of the People of the Republic of Texas, and an immediate notification is to be served on all base commanders, advising that these properties will be absorbed into the Texas defense system. The Texas State Bar Association is hereby dissolved, and shall have no legal tie to courts of the Republic of Texas or to any operation in transition for the extradition of cases from the absorbed former Texas state courts. This does not limit the right of the former attorneys' association to reorganize and operate as a common law guild for purposes of legal education and setting standards for their private membership. The General Council of the Provisional Government is organized and prepared to assume the administration of the restored nation of Texas. Its members have been assembling the necessary personnel and information to immediately begin the transition of government functions. The entire legal system of the Republic will be based on Common Law, and the financial structure is to be based on natural resources with gold and silver deposits in the treasury. No foreign troops will be allowed within the borders of Texas. Homes and farms of Texas Citizens will be held in absolute allodial title rather than by deed. Personal freedom of all sovereign Citizens will be greater than anywhere else in the world; and with relief from taxes, prosperity should soar throughout the Republic. May God bless the Republic of Texas!
