Only you own your life, your property, your
thoughts and your labor and all is sovereign to that which is you. You
are not a pawn that can be battered about at someone else's will, or a whim, or
for entertainment, or for the pure exercise of absolute power. You are
not a slave to the collective, or the elite and you owe nothing to humanity
other than which you choose to give, as a free spirit, endowed with free
choice. Your only responsibility is to take care of yourself and those in
your charge and to treat others with the same respect and dignity, as you desire
to be treated.
"I was born a sovereign. No
one owns my body or my soul. Not a person, not a group and certainly not a
government or a nation because neither of these are the cause of my
existence. My allegiance to that nation is my voluntary choice."
"Although I am part of a nation, by nature I am a
free spirit and that free spirit belongs to me and no one else. The nation
of which I am a part does not own me and I only owe that nation what I choose to
give freely and of my own volition. I only do so because I believe that
nation shares my code."
"I choose to live by the code of honor, integrity
and justice. When that nation of which I am a part ceases to be honorable
and just, I withdraw my allegiance to it and will resist that nation with all my
heart and soul because that nation no longer shares my code and has destroyed
the trust of the people and broken the bonds on its power."
"I choose to live in peace until such time that my
local environment or the government will not allow me to live in peace. I
have determined that government will no longer allow me to live in peace and I
now must fight government."
"I find that the American government, at every
level, has shattered the trust of the people and broken the bonds on its power
with malice, in pursuit of absolute power over the masses. Government has
become corrupted by special interests and international ambitions, has abused
its power and no longer represents the true interests of the once-free American
citizen in a sovereign land. Government has become almost a virtually
lawless heavily armed police force for absolute control and has ceased to
preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and the
individual freedom of its citizens as is its fundamental duty and
obligation. I further find that the solemn oaths taken by the operators of
the American government, at every level, with the pledge to fulfill that duty
and obligation, are hollow and without substance. These are harsh
allegations, but those concerned individuals who have watched the steady
degradation of America over the last 100 years, know the charges are
true."
"Consequently, I shall comply no more forever with
this nation, or until ….."
* All agencies of government, at every level, start abiding by
constitutional and statute law and that government, at every level, will clean
up and sunset archaic law and remove conflicts, confusions and ambiguities from
existing law.
* Constitutional law is adhered to by every level of
government, according to the original intent of the Founding Fathers.
* All politicians, judges, bureaucrats and government employees
shall be bound by and comply with the same laws that apply to every American
citizen.
* All politicians, judges, bureaucrats and government employees
make a solemn pledge to the American people to remove waste, fraud, abuse and
corruption from all government agencies by all means possible.
* All American taxpayer funding to the United Nations ceases
and the UN headquarters is sent to Europe where it belongs. 191 of the 192
nations belonging to the UN act against the interests of America and yet America
funds 22% of the UN budget.
* All benefits of any kind and nature are terminated to any and
all illegal aliens who have broken our laws by coming here without the operation
of law. The borders are closed once and for all. A clear and unambiguous
government policy should be aimed at self-deportation for illegal aliens by
enforcing current law. No comprehensive immigration law is required.
The 14th Amendment should be revised by U. S. Supreme Court action or by
Constitutional Amendment to eliminate the Anchor Baby interpretation.
* The Obama Health Care law is repealed and a constitutional
replacement implemented that recognizes and adopts as an absolute mandate, the
doctor - patient relationship and a free market solution to health care.
All health care insurance can be sold across state lines and personal-injury
lawsuits will be severely limited by law in health care cases. There shall
be no collection of private medical data by any government agency
whatsoever.
* The Internal Revenue Service, the Internal Revenue Code, the
Federal Reserve and the 16th Amendment are repealed and a simple constitutional
replacement for taxes and national banking are implemented. The IRS and
the Federal Reserve are way too powerful.
* The American judicial (court) system is based on
constitutional common law and precedent law is abolished. The Cannon of
Ethics should be revised such that the attorney's allegiance is solely to the
client and not the court system as it is now. Remove the current legal
impediment to citizen grand juries.
* Environmental law, local, state, or federal, is codified to
be subservient to constitutional property rights as literally defined by the
Founders under the 5th Amendment to the U. S. Constitution where compensation
for ANY and ALL taking of private property is fully paid by government at a true
and fair market value at its current zoning at time of declaration of eminent
domain.
* Violations of the true intended purpose of eminent domain are
eliminated. Government shall be prohibited from invoking eminent domain to
increase the tax base from property, as that was not the original intent of the
Framers of the Constitution when inserting the eminent domain clause in the 5th
Amendment.
* The federal government implements a balanced budget by law,
except in time of war.
* All foreign aid, of any kind and nature to any foreign
government, is only paid when fully authorized by Congress and administered by
U. S. authorities in country.
* Congress shall approve all wars, no matter where or for what
reason. A clear threat to national security will be dealt with harshly by
an act of Congress, either nationally or on foreign soil, and enforced by the
president, with the full power of the American military. The only solution
to foreign aggression is the fear of our rapid retaliation with a massive
force. Don't fight a single war without the full intention of winning them
decisively.
* Every single entitlement or government welfare program shall
be rolled back over a time certain (10 to 15 years) such that the trend will be
a steadily shrinking budget item. It is high time Americans returned to
self-reliance and stood on their own feet again. For those who, through no
fault of their own, are seriously ill or disabled, should be supported by
limited government programs. Those with two arms, two legs and a
reasonably functioning brain do not deserve help from the taxpayer. Life
is tough and it is about time the population began to re-learn that
lesson. Subsidizing the able bodied weakens the individual and the fabric
of a nation.
* Several Federal Cabinet Level bureaucracies are to be
abolished. Among those to be abolished are to include but not limited to the
Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, The Department of
Education, the Labor Department and the Housing and Urban Development.
These services should be a function of the individual states.
* Criminals serve their full sentences with no plea bargains or
parole. Criminals judged to be a danger to society after serving a full
term, will be forced to live under strict supervision after release from prison
until their threat to society has passed.
* Public education and the curriculum are removed from federal
control and returned to state and local government control and teacher's unions
are not allowed to blackmail local governments into signing egregiously
lucrative contracts that break the backs of the taxpayer.
* No voter shall be allowed to vote without first registering
at least 30 days before any election with proof of U. S. citizenship and
provides legal identification at the voting booth prior to being allowed to
vote, without exception. Provisional ballots and election-day registration
are to be eliminated.
"I make this pledge without reservation and of my own free
will."
There are more things we could add to the list, but the point
has been made. We do not intend to go quietly into the night like good
little compliant robots. Until these things we have listed come to pass,
we stand in opposition to government.
It is clear from America's history that the individual rights
guaranteed by our Constitution can be and have been compromised or ignored by
our government. A federal judge decreed that as citizens, we must fight for
those individual rights if we hope to have any standing against an all-powerful
government, as true sovereigns in a free land. In United States v.
Johnson, 76 F. Supp. 538, 539 (D. Pa. 1947), Federal Judge James Alger Fee
ruled that...
"The privilege against self-incrimination is neither
accorded to the passive resistant, nor to the person who is ignorant of his
rights, nor to one indifferent thereto. It is a FIGHTING clause. Its
benefits can be retained only by sustained COMBAT. It cannot be claimed by
attorney or solicitor. It is valid only when insisted upon by a
BELLIGERENT claimant in person." McAlister vs. Henkel, 201
U.S. 90, 26 S.Ct. 385, 50 L. Ed. 671; Commonwealth vs. Shaw, 4 Cush. 594,
50 Am.Dec. 813; Orum vs. State, 38 Ohio App. 171, 175 N.E. 876.
Pursuant to the Judges decree, as a Belligerent Claimant, we
are committed to preserve our rights through FIGHTING and COMBAT if necessary,
by resisting every effort by government to subjugate us by law, or by force of
arms. In addition to our above pledge, part of that resistance is setting
up an organization to fight corruption in government. That organization is
known as the "
Exclosers" (from EXpose and DisCLOSE) and it is dedicated to rooting out
corruption in government wherever it is found with the sole purpose of restoring
trust in government and our institutions. If you feel that you must be a
Belligerent Claimant in order to preserve, protect and defend your individual
rights as the judge has decreed, OR, if you wish to no longer comply until
government restores the trust in the people and reduces its power to those
limits placed upon it by the U. S. Constitution, please join those of us who are
doing more than just talking, we're acting!
If you see no reason to resist government, one day you will
find yourself in handcuffs being led away to jail and you will be wondering why.
Or, your kids will be taken away from you. Or, you will be forced to have
an identity RFID chip implanted under your skin, or in your ear lobe, or a
number tattooed on your arm. OR, one day you will wake up to
find that you are being forced to buy health insurance by
government.
The path to freedom has been and always will be,
resistance. If we lose the will and the courage to question and resist
government, then we lose our ability to preserve and maintain freedom.
