2010 - A "Sovereign Citizen" Tax Fraud "Official Treaty"
A “sovereign citizen” treaty that supposedly provides ‘documentation’ for people living within the territory of the United States can use to become one of “The Sovereign People of America,” and thus unaccountable to any federal or state laws including those requiring the payment of taxes.  James Thomas McBride.  Sevierville, Tennessee: Divine Trust, 2010.
This 35-page document, “Universal Postal Treaty for the Americas,” published by the “Office of the Postmaster General, Trustee of the Global Trust, Divine Province,” is mounted within a black leatherette portfolio. A printed letter from “James Thomas McBride Postmaster General” is laid in. The document and portfolio are in excellent shape; the letter has some minor wear.
The impressive document is filled with excerpts from the Constitution, U.S. law, and court cases as well as illogical gobbledygook that purports to document that anyone can use to declare themself a ‘sovereign citizen’ thus becoming unaccountable to all U.S. and state laws. In his letter, McBride reports that
“We are now recognized by the United Nations as a sovereign nation with the full support of the Military to bring . . . the United States of America back into Original jurisdiction. We have established a new banking system . . . established to discharge debts . . . and return the property to the people [and] discharge of all debt of the American people. . . . We [will] fund the currency . . . to be issued by the de jure Treasury . . . replacing the federal reserve Notes. . . . This summer promises to be one that will go down in history [with] the end of the Federal Reserve Banking system, the Internal Revenue Service and the income tax. . . . ”.
The sovereign citizen movement consists of about 300,000 tax resistors, financial schemers, and anti-government activists bound by a belief that they are not subject to any federal or state statutes. They do not recognize U.S. currency and claim they are not subject to any taxes. Most consider county sheriffs to be the only legitimate legal authorities. The federal government has successfully prosecuted many for tax violations, perhaps the most notorious being the actor Wesley Snipes.
McBride, a convicted cocaine dealer, discovered the movement while jailed in the 1990s and upon his release began to sell a fake Identification cards and other documents that he claimed would provide immunity to federal and state tax laws. Before he was convicted of conspiracy and impersonating a diplomat in 2012, he made over 0,000 from his scheme.
A fascinating document detailing the bizarre thought process and misguided legal justification behind the sovereign citizen movement.
Quite scarce. As of 2019, noting similar is for sale in the trade, nor are there any records of similar documents having been sold at auction. OCLC shows no institutional holdings of this treaty or any other similar sovereign citizen documents.

Payment
PayPal is preferred for both US and international payments.
Other methods of payment may be possible.
Shipping
Domestic Shipping.
Most orders are shipped to locations in the US at no additional cost. If not, shipping costs are set at a flat rate on an item-by-item basis.
Media mail shipping--when available and appropriate--is inexpensive but may take between two and four weeks, especially if delivery is to the west coast. If a quick delivery is important to you, please request USPS Priority Mail or some other expedited delivery service before paying.
International Shipping. International shipping is usually done through the eBay Global Shipping Program.  I know that this can be expensive, but I've switched to this method because I've had too many claims of non-receipt by international buyers.  If you contact me in advance of purchase it may be possible for me to ship directly to you.
If I ship directly, I will only ship overseas using a trackable method; this can be expensive, and it is non-negotiable.  Also, I will only enter true information on customs forms; if you  have a problem paying your nation's customs fees, that is beteen you and your government, I have nothing to do with it.
If you pay by PayPal, I will only ship to the shipping address specified by PayPal.
All shipments are covered by my business insurance at my expense, however if you would like to purchase additional USPS insurance at your expense, let me know, and I'll adjust your invoice accordingly.
