Corporate Government - Knoxville

Here is more on the corporations we call our government. Knoxville is actually two corporations. One called Knox County, and another entitled City of Knoxville. Please don't take our word for it, look up the charters online at their websites. Part 1, Article I of the City of Knoxville charter states,

“The municipal corporation, as hereinafter described and defined, shall be known as the City of Knoxville, Tennessee, and shall have perpetual succession.” Article II of the city charter is titled “Corporate Powers”.

Our city is a corporate entity with corporate powers, and it's laid out in the first two parts of the charter. This means two things; first off they've been lying to us, and secondly they operate under different rules than we normally assume. Our other corporation is Knox County. From part 1, Article I of the Knox County charter section 1.03:

“ The government described herein shall be a public corporation vested with any and all powers which counties are, or may hereafter be, authorized or required to exercise under the Constitution...”

And then the next section 1.04:

“The government of Knox County shall be a public corporation, with the right of perpetual succession, capable of suing and being sued, capable of purchasing, receiving and holding real and personal property and of selling, leasing, or disposing of the same to the fullest extent permitted, and having all express, implied and inferred rights necessary or convenient to the exercise of its public corporation powers.”

These are corporate business entities with more power than permitted under the original constitution. They don't need to abide by any limitations set forth by said constitution. The same situation is true for every city across the nation as they become annexed or “incorporated” . They are conducting business as corporate subsidiaries of the US and abide by merchant law. Business is in the game for profit, they have switched the rules, and we pay to play and to lose. Now that we know the rules based in merchant law, we may begin to fix our government problem. What say you of our corporate government?
