AS it seems rather evident, not everyone is capable of READING a BOOK or even looking past what the fuck some Search Engine decides to throw at you for FACTS and DETAILS as they pertain to YOUR OWN DAMN PROTECTION AS A UNITED STATES CITIZEN or INTERNATIONAL CITIZEN IN SOME CASES.

So, Since I ACTUALLY GIVE A SHIT, I am not "PRACTICING ANY LAW", I am PROVIDING YOU KNOWLEDGE WHICH IS PUBLICALLY AVAILABLE AND SHOULD BE BEING USED BY YOU ALL "TOGETHER" AS ONE NATION OF LEGAL CITIZENS. If Not Globally As Global Citizens.

Yes, the Capital Letters and Words are Necessary, because another STRANGE fact is, nobody listens when someone "talks", they have to YELL to get your attention. Apparently, the same holds true in typing and social media releases.

READ The FOLLOWING as THESE ARE STRAIGHT FROM THE RECOGNISED SOURCES OF LAW THEMSELVES, and NO LAY-TERMS APPLIED:

(*Yes, some of you may have to look up a few words yourselves to get a better understanding, but that's good. It MIGHT just help you realize HOW SCREWED OVER YOU ARE BEING PRESENTLY, and HOW TO STOP IT, not just fix it, END IT).

'TERRORISM is a term used a lot. Unfortunately, it has MANY arenas in which it can AND IS literally argued as both a PRO and a CON. Because of this, PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED AS FUCK, and Courts Tend To SIDE WITH THE MONEY or RELIGIOUS LABEL OF MANS DOCTRINES to avoid having to make a REAL CHOICE. So, that being said, HERE ARE THE TERMS AS DEFINED BY THE SOURCES AND HOW TO USE THEM SHOULD YOU ALL DECIDE TO GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER AS ONE NATION OF PEOPLE, or Internationally, as some rules apply to various COURTS Internationally by way of TREATY, or UNITED NATIONS AGREEMENTS'.
