I just got an email from my old friend, Larry, who got me interested in personal sovereignty in the mid-90s, then sold me my first zapper, later on (March, 1996).
At the time, Larry was working with Gary Anderson, who had beaten the IRS in several states when his case had been appealed to the state supreme courts. The way one knows he has defeated the IRS in court is that they simply lose the records and stop showing up in court. It’s not like some IRS schmuck hands you his saber in a ceremony
Larry helped me set up a trust so I could bank without using a social security number. I later paid off some old debts and sent that slave number back to teh IRS in a certified letter. I probably would have kept using the trust but that was set up during the time I lost my family and home in a bloodsucking divorce and I lived in my car for a few years after that, so had no money other than what I earned travelling around, painting signs–pretty much hand to mouth in my crazy/griefstricken days.
Gary taught some people how to successfully drive around without a driver license and he even had an airplane that was unlicensed, which he flew back and forth to Costa Rica in. He didn’t use a pilot license, either. It took him twenty years to figure out how to do all of this successfully, then he started teaching others.
Pretty romantic. In those days I was able to get driver licenses in three states without using a social security number but the capricious IRS slammed an iron door on life without the slave number by 2000. You can’t even cash a check in a bank, nor even a money order in a post office, without a ‘government ID card,’ now. For years I had used ‘non-official’ IDs to do that.
That’s the trend: every scrap of personal sovereignty has been ‘legally’ eliminated, by now and some states, including California, have made it ‘unlawful’ to appeal to common law in their courts. Common law is universal law. The US Constitution is a common law document.
The US courts operate under corporate law, which is essentially rebellion against universal law; we are property of the corporate state in those courtrooms. Under common law we were sovereign individuals. We will be again, as soon as this horror show is stopped.
I had to resurrenct that slave number to get a state ID card, years ago, which is what I use to cash checks and money orders now. I immediately got a letter from the IRS as soon as I got that card but I just tossed it in the trash, of course, and I haven’t heard from that murdeous corporation again. Carol uses her slave number and has bank accounts but she’s never filed for an income tax return, even when she was employed, so they’ve never bothered her. We don’t pay voluntary taxes, of course. Income tax is purely volutary–that’s something that even the IRS hasn’t been able to alter by constantly changing their alleged laws.
Larry’s doing fine and he’s got an interesting blogsite about conspiracy stuff: http://freesyncracy.com
Gary narrowly avoided being abducted in Costa Rica by a team of IRS thugs, some years ago. HIs accountant caught a beating from those frustrated gangsters, though. A gov’t official in Costa Rica had warned Gary that the IRS was after him. Corporate gangsters are sore losers.
Here’s the deal about personal sovereignty in the present: most of the people who beat the system in the past are in prison, now. A few of them got released and are on a tether, giving public talks while the feds go around and photograph everyone in the audience. They also photograph all the license plates in the parking lot.
A fellow whose name I won’t mention tried repeatedly to get me to drive without a license, five years ago, but he and his wife were obviously being used to set me up and to break our marriage apart. I drive without a license, of course, even on long trips, but I do it sparingly. I’m risking imprisonment, every time. I can’t get a driver license any more because during my crazy years I was unable to pay child support, so the state racked up a big bill. As soon as I could, I started sending them money, of course, usually more than the court had ordered. I had even spent some time in jail on account of that alleged debt but something in me recoils at the idea of giving Big Brother that money. I still help my kids whenever they need it, even though they’re all adults, living on their own. I help my kids a whole lot more than my folks helped me.
That said, If I were a stronger person I wouldn’t have lost my mind when I lost my kids. DB has done a lot better than me under those circumstances. In one way or another I think we’re all among the walking wounded in the physical realm until our last breath.
I keep my Uganda driver licence in the car but it’s probably just good for one cop interaction and it expires next month.
I published my divorce history in my book but I asked the publisher to stop printing it a couple months ago, so I’m putting it in the public record, again, in case my enemies want to create a ‘deadbeat dad’ scandal. That’s one of the corporate world order’s favorite PC red herrings, along with ‘abortion’ and ‘homophobia.’ . I’ll get the book online as a free PDF after I black out the reference to DB’s dad.
Nobody is successful driving, risk free, without a license any more, and common-law tapdancing in front of judges may be entertaining but it doesn’t keep one out of prison, any more.
The answer to this advancing tyranny, of course, is to abolish the federal corporate government, hopefully through state secessions. Violent revolt would probably just substitute one monster for another; perhaps worse one: a bornagain-chump theocracy, most likely on the Khomeini pattern).
