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.
