It is time to invite you
into an unfolding drama with the Department of State and what I perceive as
discrimination.
In September, a South African-born naturalized US citizen entered a post office and submitted her passport card and book application and an affidavit stating evidence of citizenship. (People in the “becoming a national” movement have uncovered that within the Department of State, the affidavit stating you are changing your status to US national, which aligns you with State citizenship, is called “Citizenship Evidence.”) This woman received a phone call saying that they do not have passports for US Nationals and something about a naturalized citizen not being a US national. The following are correspondences with the Department of State and her and the Inspector General’s Office.

Dear Secretary of State Blinken,
The Department of State reached out to me two weeks ago to inform
me that I could not be a National. I am not identifying as a non-citizen
Samoan. I am able to choose my status. I choose to be a
National. The Department of State is holding my affidavit, my citizenship
evidence. I am already a National with Constitutionally protected Rights
just by that department holding that paper. In fact, the second I
received my receipt for my passport from the postal worker, since my affidavit
had been received, I have been a National.
You have already accepted me as a citizen naturalized under the
Fourteenth Amendment. It says in your policy statement that when I
am that (a US citizen), I am automatically the other (a US National). Are
you discriminating against me? Is this blatant discrimination from a
government agency—the Department of State—on my political status, which is my
choice, not yours? Are you assuming the position of tyrant? Are you
obstructing my Law of Nations Rights to choose my political status? It is
not the Department of State’s choice. It is my choice. If you are
telling me that I can’t be a US National, you—in your designated,
authoritative, administrative position—are acting as a tyrant.
Please see the Certificate of Non-Citizenship Nationality policy
statement below. (The Samoan part, the "small number of persons acquire
U.S. nationality without becoming U.S. citizens" is not the part of below
to which I am drawing your attention.) “As defined by the INA, all
U.S. citizens are U.S. nationals but only a relatively small number of
persons acquire U.S. nationality without becoming U.S. citizens. Section
101(a)(21) of the INA defines the term ‘national’ as ‘a person owing permanent
allegiance to a state.’ Section 101(a)(22) of the INA provides that the term
‘national of the United States’ includes all U.S. citizens as
well as persons who, though not citizens of the United States, owe permanent
allegiance to the United States (non-citizen nationals).”
With the chips in the
passport books and cards, the Department of State could demonstrate that my
God-given Rights are Constitutionally protected, that I am not identifying as a
US Citizen under the Fourteenth Amendment; however, you do not have to show I
am a National on the passport. But as said in 1835, “It [a
passport] is a document which, from its nature and object, is addressed to foreign
powers; purporting to only be a request that the bearer of it may pass safely
and freely, and it is to be considered rather in the character of a political
document, by which the bearer is recognized in foreign countries as an American
citizen(sic), and which, by usage and the law of nations, is received as
evidence of that fact. But this is a very different light from that in which it
is to be viewed in a court of justice where the inquiry is as to the fact of
citizenship. It is a mere ex parte certificate; and, if founded upon
any evidence produced to the Secretary of State establishing the fact of
citizenship, that evidence, if of a character admissible in a court of justice,
ought to be produced upon the trial as higher and better evidence of the
fact..." [Urtetiqi v. D'Arbel, 9 Peters 692 (1835)
Just be certain that you
have my affidavit firmly placed in my administrative file and process my
passport application. If there is a problem, I wish to exhaust my
administrative remedies. The paperwork in my administrative file is
important and is admissible in a court of law. Please place this
correspondence firmly in my administrative file, as well.
Thank-you.

To Secretary of State Blinken:
The Department of State cashed my passport application fee on
September 3, 2021. I have been in touch with workers in the passport division
and written you a letter. I still have heard nothing.
Further, I paid an extra fee for expediting my passport.
Family members received theirs in a timely manner while your department
consciously chose to holdup my application. I had an international flight
scheduled and was assured I would have my passport (whether old or new) in
time, but that did not happen.
Please see to it that I receive my new passport book and card
soon. Thank-you.
Please place this letter firmly in my administrative file.
Sincerely,
Written on that same day
was a letter to the South African from the Department of State.
The second last sentence
says, “Based on the information submitted, you are a U. S. citizen and your
application for a U. S., passport as a national is denied.” This proves
that there is such a thing as a passport for a US national.

Dear
Ms.,
As I stated in my letter of October which I had requested to be
placed in my administrative file and is obviously a letter you have not read, I
will restate a very important point. I am not identifying as a
non-citizen Samoan. You read my
proof and interpreted it as if I am claiming to be a Samoan national
non-citizen when in my letter, which I am resending, my stance is very clear.
I am able to choose my status. I choose to be a National. The
Department of State is holding my affidavit, my citizenship evidence as it is
called by the Department of State. I am already a National with
Constitutionally protected Rights just by your department holding that
paper. In fact, the second I received my receipt for my passport from the
postal worker—since my affidavit had been received—I have been a
National. As I have said before, you
do not get to decide my status and I do not need a passport in order for it to
be true.
As for returning my passport and naturalization
certificate, thank-you. Now please issue me my new passport and card
since I purchased them, and my paperwork was in order. I said that my
intention was to be a national not a citizen under the scope and purview of the
14th Amendment, which is permitted language in an
affidavit. You say that I cannot identify as a US National when
you accepted my son doing the same process and using the same words that I
chose. With me, you misunderstood what I wrote. Now, perhaps I
should have been clearer as this: "I, Charleen
Beatrice Hillebrand, being duly sworn, hereby declare my
intention to be a national of the United States of America but not a citizen of
the federal UNITED STATES under the scope and purview of the 14th Amendment.”
The reality though, is that you accepted my son while denying me. Are you
discriminating against me because I was born in South Africa?
As
it says on State.gov, “The United States seeks opportunities for increased
U.S.-South African cooperation on regional and international issues.” So
why are you discriminating against me when my son, Australian-born, used the
same format and became a national? (We have a paper from the
Department of State to my son that says “US nationals” when in reference to him
as proof when we move on to exhausting my remedies with this issue.)
Vattel’s Law states “Every man has the right of
personal political self-determination.” According to Section 308 on Travel.state.gov,
“As defined by the INA, all U.S. citizens are U.S. nationals but
only a relatively small number of persons acquire U.S. nationality without
becoming U.S. citizens.” Section 101(a)(21) of the INA defines the term
‘national’ as “a person owing permanent allegiance to a state.” Section
101(a)(22) of the INA provides that the term ‘national of the United States’
includes “all U.S. citizens as well as persons who, though not
citizens of the United States, owe permanent allegiance to the United States
(non-citizen nationals).” As a US national, I am a State citizen.
It is not acceptable that you play God and state that this is over sorry no
refund. I have asked repeatedly to those who called and in the letter
that I sent for my administrative remedies to be exhausted, and they have not
been. What is the next step to exhaust my administrative remedies?
I sent
this correspondence certified. I also have included the letter I sent in
October. I also have sent the letter that you sent to me to Mr. Blinken
certified with a green card to be signed, along with this that you have
received. Please place all of this firmly in my administrative file.
Looking
forward to hearing from you in a timely manner. Thank-you.
Sincerely,
The next correspondences
were sent certified with green cards taxe percue, meaning her signature was the
stamp that got cancelled.

Re:
Freedom of Information Act Request
Dear
Secretary Blinken:
The
purpose of this letter is to request information pursuant to the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C., section 552.
Please
provide me with a copy of every item in my administrative file.
· My affidavit of
citizenship evidence stating that I am a US National
· My correspondences with
your office
· The envelope this
request came in
· Notes made by your
department
As
provided for by section 552(a)6(A)(i) of the Freedom of Information Act, please
provide your reply within twenty (20) business days. Thank you for your prompt attention to this
matter.
Please
place this letter and the envelope in my administrative file. Thank you.
Sincerely,

court since nationals cannot step foot into a fiction. In both these last two letters, she signed

Dear Ms. Shaw:
I am writing to request you to look into discrimination that
I am receiving from the Department of State.
The only full names that I have in our months-long correspondence is
Heather B. McHugh and of course Secretary of State Blinken.
I sent in an affidavit stating that I am a US National,
which they received. Though my naturalized
children (both born in Australia) received passports and cards when doing the
same, I was denied a passport and card and given no refund.
I did not renounce citizenship. I identify as national, which any citizen may
do. I have no recordings of the phone
calls, but please read the letters that have gone back and forth and help me to
get them to understand that they cannot decide my status, and that they need to
issue me my passport and card. Thank you.
I request that you place this whole communication firmly and
permanently in my administrative file including the envelope. Thank you.
Your site states, “We promote diversity in the workplace and treat
people with dignity and respect.” I feel
that because I was born in South Africa, I am not being treated with respect. Your site also claims the “Offices of
Inspectors General (OIGs) serve a critical role in accountability and
transparency in Government.” Please hold
those at the Department of State accountable.
Thank-you.
Sincerely,
(She
signed her name in red. All these letters you have read here were
sent to Ms. Shaw. The lady signed the
back of each paper in red. On this
actual letter and Blinken’s sent on Dec 6, a On Her Majesty sticker like what
is used to send the post was placed on the backs and dated in blue. Again, we are holding in consciousness that
what we have done makes the correspondence the court. We know that not hearing from agents of the
government is their norm. If they
respond and in a timely fashion, then we finally figured out their “code.”)

They have referred me to the USCI. It is the Department of State that calls a
status change “citizenship evidence,” and it is related to the passport. 8 FAM 505.2-1 Endorsement Code Procedures and 8 FAM 505.2-2 LIST OF CURRENT ENDORSEMENTS are
codes within the passport that show status.
09, for example, may refer to a Samoan non-citizen who is called a
national. https://fam.state.gov/FAM/08
FAM/08FAM050502.html, but according to https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/Certificates-Non-Citizen-Nationality.html, “As defined by the
INA, all U.S. citizens are U.S. nationals.” I had sent in an affidavit stating that I am
identifying as a national, not a citizen under the 14th Amendment,
which they in the Department of State need if there is a special number or code
related to the passport.
Please
send me all information within my administrative file or inform me that one
does not exist. Thank you.

Re: #-###-###-###
Dear
Lori Hartman:
You
say that my request does not reasonably describe the records I seek. Yes, I did. I requested all
information in my administrative file with the Secretary of State. I asked for all information, if an
administrative file exists. If no administrative
file exists, I expected them to admit it.
I mentioned how I have been having a back and forth with Ms. McHugh and how
I wanted each permanently and securely placed in my file. I asked to see a copy of the affidavit of
citizenship where I declared a status change, the correspondences with McHugh,
and the envelope that I sent correspondence in, and any notes the Department of
State may have made and placed there. My
affidavit was sent in with my passport application to this department.
So,
to place it here again for you in a manner that will be easier for you to see, I
asked for:
· if
no file exists, state that no file exists
· correspondence
between Ms. McHugh and myself as I requested these letters be permanently and
securely placed in my file
· the
envelope that I sent correspondence in since I use the Judicial District and wrote
as Private, living man
· the
affidavit of citizenship evidence where I declared a status change to national
Please send me all information within my
administrative file or inform me that one does not exist. Thank you.
I have also reached out to the OGIS.

Re: substantive
law and evidence
Dear Secretary of State Blinken:
Please disaffirm the
following facts using substantive law and evidence.
1)
After the Civil War, the Fourteenth
Amendment was passed to protect the newly freed slaves giving them the
political status of US Citizens.
2)
The passage of the Fourteenth Amendment
did not affect or change existing political status of white citizens known as
State Nationals and now known as US Nationals.
3)
I have the Right to choose which political
status I want to be.
4)
The Department of State stole my money and
refused to give me my passport and card and said I cannot be a National.
You
have thirty (30) calendar days from receipt of this Notice to respond to me in
notarized affidavit form with a man or woman signing the affidavit. Failure to reply within thirty (30) calendar
days to this Notice disaffirming the above statements means you acquiesce to
their validity. As per number three, my status is as US National.
Sincerely
yours,
