No, being outnumbered three hundred million to one is what enslaves you. What’s delusional is your belief that some magic words will change this.
There’s two possibilities in life. Either we all live under a system of laws, in which case you’re subject to the same laws as everyone else. You don’t get to declare that you’re not subject to the laws but the laws have to protect you. You’re either in or out.
And if you’re out, you’re like I described. You’re not subject to the laws but you’re also not protected by them. It all becomes a matter of who’s stronger. And that’s where the three hundred million to one odds come in. Unless you’re the last son of Krypton, you’re not going to win that fight.
Finally, God isn’t your wingman. If he created the entire universe then he has no special interest in you.
…then you are a perfect candidate to be a Freeman on the Land, since their entire raison d’etre is to remove the one and only thing that actually protect the smallest of the small.
For your sake I hope that that part is outside the magical thoughts.
Although you don’t dig them, The Southern Poverty Law Center. linked already by **BrainGlutton **does point to the evidence and reasons why that movement you are considering has a lot of connections with racist groups. You are warned also of that.
God: "The difference between statute and color or force of law and all the individual corporate courts and corporate status of ‘persons’! Beliefs can be changed but facts are facts. Right? It would be very harmful to the illusion if a court of record showed otherwise, wouldn’t you agree? What is PERSON? A man considered according to the rank he holds in society, with all the rights to which the place he holds entitles him, and the duties which it imposes.
Who says freeloader where did that come from ? Just the opposite I dont want babies to die at the hands of a goverment employee it is you that want to dismiss good common moral laws to be safe in you gilded prison. We are our own answer to our own problems . and you silly cheezers want to kill a messenger that’s willing to take the heat of the first couple of blasts I don’t get it…And yes I want you to be free also and YOUR KIDS! Lemurs (i/ˈliːmər/ lee-mər) are a clade of strepsirrhine primates endemic to the island of Madagascar. The word “lemur” derives from the word lemures (ghosts or spirits) from Roman mythology and was first used to describe a slender loris due to its nocturnal habits and slow pace.
Soooo you think you own your property now, thought you had a deed in trust your car is owned by the state you are the registered user so you personally helped write the state statutes we now have under color of law. I didn’t make this up mate. To me it seems like there was a magic act performed and the free people lost their in-a LIEN- able rights I am not looking for sanctuary in the occult, the blind folks are finding their persons in the superstitions that the government has your best interests at heart. Why do you keep saying law when it is statutes? "
I actually do have some sympathy for you the freeman of the land guys/gals, at least to the extent that what you do is not motivated solely by greed (i.e., getting access to that big pot of cash money the government is keeping for you).
If you are motivated by finding out what happened to society since the days where tribes/families wandered the land as they pleased and settled where they wished, well those small freedoms have been taken away and replaced by even greater benefits, by and large, and we are better off as individyuals and as a society these days, even if some of the duties expected of you, like paying taxes which supports causes that you don’t agree with, are onerous and distasteful to you.
But there are no secret legal arcane fomulae that will give you the independant status that you want. They don’t exist.
However you can go out Christopher McCandless style, give up all your property except the barest essentials, and that’s the closest you’ll get to a freeman of the land.
I find that to be one of the strengths of our laws. The people who create laws should be willing to live under them. The problem is when people pass laws for others but declare themselves exempt.
“I was a free man in Paris, I felt unfettered and alive. Nobody was calling me up for favours, no ones future to decide. You know I’d go back there tomorrow, but for the work I’ve taken on, stoking the star maker machinery, behind the popular song.” Joni Mitchell
It’s always the sound track to these threads, in my head…it’s probably just me.
The problem (for you) is that not everyone believes in your magical sky pixie. And then there are people who believe in different gods than yours. They all have there own version of “laws of the highest order” which are not exactly the same as yours.
Because a lot of people are stupid and exercise poor judgement, thereby creating pain and suffering and requiring the rest of us to either support their paralyzed backside the rest of their days or bury the bits of their corpse and hose down the road afterward. And the rest of us got tired of the needless carnage.
Although I hasten to point out that you don’t need to wear a seatbelt when driving on your private land. Really, you don’t. Hell, you don’t need a license to do that, either. It’s when you drive on public roads that the requirements kick in. Don’t want to wear a seat belt? You’re free to do without on your own land, where you are a free man. You are not, however, free to do that on land owned by anyone else.
You’re a free man on YOUR land. You do not get to make up the rules for anyone else’s land. When you’re a free man on someone else’s land you need to live by their rules or leave.
So… let me get this straight, you’re “free” because you made up this imaginary being in the sky and you accuse the government of “hocus pocus”?
You’re claiming to be god now?
Somehow, I expected god to have a much better grasp of spelling and grammar, not to mention clearer composition and use of appropriate capitalization…
You’re not stupid. I suspect you may be delusional (see belief you are god) but not stupid exactly…
So, is the whole dying in the back of an abandoned bus of starvation/freezing/possible unintentional consumption of poisonous wild foods a “bonus” feature of that existence?
To paraphrase Hobbes, the life of a free man on the land would seem to be nasty, brutish, and short…
Do you know who else wants their interpretation of God’s Will to be the supreme law of the land?
That’s right, the Terrorists.
If you deny that American laws apply to you, then the terrorists win. Why do you hate America?
So here would be my question for you. Haven’t you entered a contract with the United States and your own state when you left you house and:
Used a public road?
Benefited from police patrols and traffic signals to make your drive safe?
Driven while using a government issued driver’s license?
Also:
Did you ever attend public school in the United States?
Benefit from any decision made by Congress, your state legislature, or local (city/county) government?
In other words, why do you feel that contractually you get to benefit from living in the United States and yet do not have to reciprocate by obeying their laws? Are you willing to literally never leave you house (assume for a second that your not benefiting for government enforcement of contract law there) and enter into the US and give up fire/police protection of yourself, your property and your home?
