The Most Important Election Of Our Lifetime...Again

As we head into this election, and opt to vote for our favorite team, recall if you can what America is supposed to be about. Its not about owning people through the proxy arm of the government. It's not about existing under a never ending feudal system of debt servitude. It's about having the freedom to secure a livelyhood unencumbered. Period. That's it. No other guarantees. You may not get your little pink house and your white picket fence. What you should be able to do is to earn a living without someone in your pocket.

The definition of tax is this - a compulsory contribution to state revenue, levied by the government on workers' income and business profits, or added to the cost of some goods, services, and transactions.

Please note the use of the word compulsory. That means "have to pay it, or else."

The definition of indentured servitude is this - An indentured servant or indentured laborer is an employee (indenturee) within a system of unfree labor who is bound by a signed or forced contract (indenture) to work without pay for the owner of the indenture for a period of time. 

That should read "with or without pay" as oftentimes contracts of indenture would be in exchange for some other tangible goods or service.

Note the use of the terms "signed" or "forced" contract. The "forced" contract in America would be your birth certificate, identifying you as a US citizen and held by the government as a type of labor security against prior debt.

The Thirteenth amendment to the constitution expressly forbade slavery or indentured servitude within the United States. There was a pretty big kerfuffle over that, from what I hear.

Then, not 50 or so years after that was done, along comes the 16th Amendment, the one that levied a tax on income, not apportioned to the census. Near as I can tell, that directly conflicts with the 13th Amendment outlawing indentured servitude except upon conviction of a crime.

Keeping that in mind, and keeping in mind that the thing we think makes America so great is its freedom and opportunities for so many who would otherwise be cast aside, when you vote this November for any party who pledges to uphold our system of taxation(that would be both the major ones, in case you were wondering), you'll be voting to uphold a system of expressly illegal indentured servitude.

The only ways out of it are to 1) Vote for a third party pledging to abolish the 16th Amendment and institute a more voluntary system of taxation or B) Don't vote at all....and do both en masse.

Solar Power Is A Scam

Solar power is the next thing to a scam. Its seen as a silver bullet in the effort to combat global warming, but rarely if ever are its drawbacks detailed. A 1500 square foot home with an average electrical consumption of 1000 kwh per month would require an 18,000 watt solar power system, with installation costs ranging from $2.75 per watt for a grid tied system with no battery backup, which would provide somewhere in the neighborhood of 60% of a homes power needs, to $5 per watt for a system with battery backup that would supply 100% of a homes power needs. That means an initial cost of somewhere between $16,500 and $30,000 for a 6 kw system. With an average monthly bill of $160, that means around a 14 to 15.5 year return on investment. There are tax credits available to bring that cost down, so, by robbing your neighbor, you can cut your installation costs by 25-50%, depending on where you live. Add to that the costs of maintenance, which can vary depending on the system but with an almost guaranteed battery replacement, and possibly two, over the life of the system which averages 25-30 years, you're looking at maintenance costing between $5000-$15,000. Then you have the environmental impacts of solar panel and battery production and end of life disposal to worry about. No infrastructure exists today to efficiently recycle solar panels, so they go to landfills where heavy metals used in their production leach into the soil. At the end of the day, it is possible to just about break even on the installation of a solar system, as long as you rob your neighbor to do it.

My Education

Things I was taught in school...fractions. Algebra. The difference between a noun and an adjective. That there are supposedly three branches of the US government. That slavery ended with the Emancipation Proclamation. Things I was not taught in school....that the laws we live under are written in a language most of us don't understand, and are no longer taught. That slavery for some was transmuted into indentured servitude for all through the introduction of the income tax. That if you start a war on drugs that relies on a heavily militarized program of interdiction, with all the associated funding for personnel and equipment, you will have no interest in ending/winning said war on drugs. Same principle applies to any further militarization of....anything. That in this, the "freest" nation on earth, you cannot do the basic things required to support life, legally, without purchasing permission from the government. That blind obedience to authority will only lead to more of the same. That our system of taxation is akin to rape, or human sacrifice over a period of time. That we who are born citizens of the US are treated as legal fictions by the US government, indentured bondservants held by the implied contract of our birth certificates as labor collateral against the debts of our forebears. Voting won't fix this.

I'm Seething....

I've had a feeling something wasn't right for some time now. Not right to the point of bending reality. Crazy, but true. The more I research how the United States government and its legal system operates, the angrier I get. We've all been duped. You, as you function in US society, are not you. You are a legal fiction, bound by regulations created by another legal fiction. You cannot function in our society if you completely separate your natural self from the legal fiction that is also you...but not. The legal fiction that is you is labor collateral that is promised to repay debt incurred by prior generations. Your birth certificate is held as a financial security by the United States government based on projected tax revenue.

The United States government has not operated as a legitimate entity since the start of the Civil War. In 1861, seven states walked out of the congressional session, denying Congress a quorum, and in one of the first of many Presidential executive orders, Lincoln dismissed Congress sine die, and reconvened a de facto Congress as a corporate entity, presumably somehow using regulations on interstate commerce. Congress has not reconvened de jure since then.

You may wonder why I'm using all the fancy schmancy Latin terms to describe Constitutional convention. Its not because I want to make myself sound like more of a smarty pants than I am (although I am brilliant, and I have my destitution to prove it). Its because, in a legal and lawful sense, words mean things. US law is based, in large part, on Roman civil law and English common law. Its difficult to understand whats being done to you if you don't understand the terms that are being used to control you. Its akin to being a visitor in a foreign country and falling afoul of and held accountable for rules you didn't know existed, then being accosted in a language you don't understand. Difference is...its your own government doing it to you.

Tinfoil hat stuff. I know. There's no way your own government could ever do something like that to you, nor keep it quiet for so long. The United States has been, essentially, a dictatorship since the passage of the War Powers act in 1933. By keeping the United States in a constant state of emergency, the Executive Branch has maintained de facto control of all three branches of government in violation of the original separation of powers enunciated in the Constitution.

In a legal sense, your silence is implied consent. In the sort of old school Biblical way that it isn't rape if you don't scream and there aren't four male witnesses. But how are you supposed to voice dissent over something you don't even realize is happening, and don't have the vocabulary to fight, because Latin isn't taught in school anymore?

More to come later....

What Are We Doing, Anyway?

What is America supposed to be about? Freedom? Can't be that. Nothing in this country can be done legally without permission or permitting. Stuff? Oh yeah, we got plenty of that. He who dies with the most toys wins, right? Usually. Money? Yeah, we got that, but we have no idea what its actual value is, and anyone in the world who tries to create money with tangible value is labeled a terrorist and we bomb the shit out of em. Think Ghaddafi. We are controlled, as a population, by a language we are no longer taught or familiar with. We shout "Don't take my freedoms" at every turn, yet continue to work farther and farther into indenture because...civilisation. And property value. Someone in the neighborhood does something different with their front yard, they better watch the fuck out, cause their loving neighbors will have code enforcement on their ass before you can say "But what about the roads?". So what is America supposed to be about? I did not think it was supposed to be about indentured servitude in perpetuity. Unbeknownst to most, children are born as bondservants of the US government...labor collateral against prior debt. I've always been of the, granted, opinion, that it is in general a bad thing to own other human beings. To sell oneself out with informed consent of the consequences is one thing...to be sold out prior to your birth and without your express consent to satisfy the debt of prior generations is quite another.

But What Does It Matter?

We, as Americans, decided in 1865 that it was not ok to own other human beings. The history and text of the 13th Amendment can be found here:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution

That basic notion was, in fact, a large part of the reason for the colonists split from Britain. Many of the founders were against slave ownership in any form, though it was such an ingrained institution at the time they could not prevent its intrusion into the new country and its government. A major component of remaining an unowned individual is the ability to defend ones own person and property, and do so in a manner commensurate with any force likely to be brought against you. Yet the force that has been brought to bear to secure your servitude to the State has not been with arms, but with legislation. The 16th amendment, which in my opinion is in direct conflict with the 13th amendment, has been employed, under the guise of "levelling the playing field", to secure your indenture to the State. As citizens of the United States, you are born as a bondservant....a security against the debt incurred by previous generations. The ratification of the 16th amendment, the establishment of the Federal Reserve bank, and your birth certificate secure your identity as a person to the Federal government. You are not free....as a law abiding citizen, you are indentured. Otherwise, you are a criminal.

Gots To Follow The Law......

I'm not a huge fan of receiving benefits one hasn't worked for. That being said, waggling your finger about "following the law of the land" doesn't hold much water anymore. As we sit back in our armchairs and wonder where our freedoms have gone, remember that they've been buried under a mountain of laws that we wanted....laws that require you mow your lawn to a certain height, obtain a permit for your lemonade stand, restrict who you can stick your penis in and how, how much will be taken from your paycheck before you even see it, sign your children away to military service before they even exist, proscribe your means of self defense, the type and amount of lighting you're allowed to use in your home, the size and type of lawn decoration you have, the people you can do business with, your manner of conveyance, the amount and type of food you eat not to mention who owns the right to produce it.....etc. From the beginning in this country, it was not supposed to be that way. Taxation and Federal service was to be voluntary....everything else was up to you. All attempts to bring it back to that have met with failure, cause you can't buck the system. I mean....who would build the roads? I guess we should probably stop advertising America as the "Land of the Free" and call it instead "The Land of the Comfortably Bought and Paid For". I might amend that to say The Land of the Comfortably Indentured".
I would like my taxes, if any, to be taken voluntarily so that I am in no way a slave in this "free" country, invalidating the sacrifices of those who fight. I would like to see someone wipe their ass with the flag, which itself does not do one single thing to protect our freedom, without one person raising their voice in protest. If one does not have that sort of freedom, then your sacrifices are in vain and you should reconsider what you are fighting for. If this is a free country, if soldiers are fighting and dying for the freedom of the individual in America, why do I have to obtain permission from the State to do nearly anything that sustains life, let alone anything above and beyond that? If you are fighting and dying for our "freedom" in some middle eastern hell hole, why is it you are not told that involuntary taxation is a means to Islams end, and that you are fighting this war on the wrong front? You should be fighting to end involuntary taxation and regulation on business....working to reduce the size of the Federal government first, and government at all other levels next, then dealing with outside threats as they appear. You should be demanding that people do more for themselves, rather than relying on and continuing to support a system of legalized armed robbery by proxy. You should, in short, if you want to protect your freedom, NOT be following the orders of your superiors.
