Declare Peace....Put Up A Peacetime Flag....and Stop The War

Did you know that we have been at war ever since 1860 when Abraham Lincoln bankrupted the original united States of America and declared war upon this land with his first executive order? The Leiber Code. This is also when the first 'war' flag was flown.....what we know to be our current flag of the United States. In fact, the original civil flag of peacetime was erected on this land shortly after 1779 to declare we are at peace. Here is a brief history of our flag ......

The United States Of America Civil Flag of Peacetime

We the People of the United States Of America actually have two national flags, a military flag and a civil flag for peacetime.

They have several important distinctions and meanings. Almost all Americans think of the Stars and Stripes "Old Glory" as their only flag. The Stars and Stripes originated as a result of a resolution adopted by the Marine Committee of the Second Continental Congress at Philadelphia on June 14, 1777, for use on military installations, on ships, and in battle, directing that a United States Of America flag consist of 13 stripes, alternating red and white; that a union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new Constellation.

Prior to, during the War for Independence, and after under the Articles of Confederation, smuggling was seen as a patriotic duty of the citizens of the thirteen independent and sovereign states, but after the ratification of the Constitution and the establishment of a new nation, smuggling needed to be stopped. The new nation depended on the revenue from customs tariffs, duties and taxes on imported goods in order to survive.

Through usage and custom, horizontal stripes had become adopted for use over military posts, and vertical stripes adopted for use over civilian establishments. The Civil Flag, intended for peacetime usage in custom house civilian settings, had vertical stripes with blue stars on a white field. By the Law of the Flag, this design denoted civil jurisdiction under the Constitution and common law as opposed to military jurisdiction under admiralty/military law.

Although intended just for Customs house usage, the new Civil Flag became adopted by both customhouses and merchants, and others who could afford them, to show their civilian nature and not under military control. The practice of using the Customs Flag as a Civil Flag became encoded in law in 1874 when Treasury Secretary William. A. Richardson required all customhouses to display the Civil Flag.

Before 1940, no U.S. flag, civil or military, flew within the forty-eight states except in federal settings and installations. Only state flags did. Since the 1935 institution of Social Security and the Buck Act of 1940, 4 U.S.C.S. Ch. 4 Sec. 104-113, by clever legal maneuvers the feds have entirely circumvented the U.S. Constitution, and have overlaid federal territorial jurisdiction on the sovereign States, bringing them under the admiralty/military jurisdiction of Law Merchant, the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), the law of Creditors and Debtors.

Since then the U.S. military flag appears beside, or in place of, the state flags in nearly all locations within the states. All of the state courts and even the municipal ones now openly display it. In the last half century they have more openly declared the military/admiralty law jurisdiction with the addition of the gold fringe to the flag, the military flag of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. Such has been the path that has brought us under the Law of the Military Flag. This should have raised serious questions from many of the people long ago, but we've been educated to listen to and believe what we are told, not to ask questions, or think for ourselves and search for the truth.

In addition to the above mentioned, when you fly the war flag on your property, it is said that the federal government can view this as an invitation to have soldiers move into your home/property for military use. The symbolism of the civil flag of peacetime brings a clear message to the federal government that we are a peaceful people and we declare and demand peace in this nation. When the military sees the peace flag, they should know that this is not a home or property to take refuge in. We need to keep in mind that much of our history has been lost so it is now up to we the people to remind the agents of the federal and state governments to know the origin of the American Flags.
