By The 'Consent of the Governed' (Must watch)

You seriously sat for three hours watching that?

I was not insinuating that you had the attention span of a gnat as much as I was wondering where you find the time. I also read whole books! Perhaps we should start a book club?! You can give suggested reading on conspiracy theories and I can give highlights for the interesting stuff. The EL James 50 shades of Grey trilogy, for example.

I'll have to watch the video in 30 to 45 minutes intervals. Not because it would hurt my poor little brain (because I actually have a great big one) but because that's how long it takes to drive to and from work...which is most of my spare time used for things of that nature.

Hardly.

The gist of this is that all authority is based on consent - in other words we enter into a contractual agreement with the government - whereby we agree to abide by certain rules. In other words, we consent to be governed. But we can opt out at any time.

And people have been opting out. Not "dropping out", but actually terminating their contract with the government, or revoking their consent to be governed.

What does this mean? It means that they have no obligation to pay taxes. It means that they don't require a car license to drive a car, or a gun license to own a gun, or a TV license to own a TV. It means the police have no power to arrest them, and the courts have no right to put them on trial. Etc.

And the thing is, their status is being acknowledged in writing. They *officially* have no obligation to obey legal regulations, make tax returns, carry ID, send their children to school and so on. They are exempt because they have LEGALLY withdrawn their consent to be governed.

Whether you think this is a good thing or a bad thing is neither here nor there. The point is these people have identified the glaring loophole in the system. It was never a secret, but up to now very few people knew about it or understood it, and even fewer had the legal nous to take advantage of it.

Watch the video. It's long - 2 hours 50 minutes - but watch it in stages.

I have not watched this video, so I don't know what this alleged loophole is.

But I remember a "movement" perhaps 20 years ago where some people decided that U.S. income taxes were unconstitutional and they, therefore, didn't have to pay. Well, some of them went to prison and all of them had to pay their back taxes plus penalties and interest.

I just watched the whole thing. It was GREAT! Thanks for posting it
