Here is an example of the odd appearance of some reality:
There are some people who actually refer to the territory of the United States as "Statum Unitent of America" citing as grammatical authority that "united" is past-tense and "states" is a verb.
Those people do not recognize the authority of public officials of the United States nor any oaths taken to uphold the statute of the United States. They consider public officials to be little more than theatrical performer providing entertainment for their sheep.
Their entity of organized crime is their only government. Their oath would refer to the "Statum Unitent of America".
The government of the United States has become just a disposable collection of the fool and stooge providing cover for organized crime.
The United States is a country where the sheep are too scared to ask: Question - - Who did you kill to get that job?
