Freedom Doesn’t Work

If you are to live free, you must act like a Sovereign

From time to time (actually, it happens far too often), someone calls to tell me that one or another of the processes and methods of living free from government regulation that I teach, “doesn’t work”. I am very disturbed when I hear this, because it is a sentiment that always comes from the mind of servitude; never from the Sovereign.


When you declare that a process “doesn’t work”, the implied question is, “What would it mean if this process did work?” Generally, the answer reflects personal convenience.

I had one client who called me after going through our Tax Freedom Program. This is the program whereby we prepare the necessary paperwork for you to rescind your social security number, and I act as your private consultant for life. The cost of the program is Seven Hundred Fifty (750) dollars. We have a 100% track record over eight years.

After paying for the program, receiving, signing and sending the documents to the Social Security Administration and Internal Revenue Service, my client had completed the process to sever his contractual nexus with the United States federal government. He was free from government regulation. One would think he would have been satisfied. One would have been wrong.

When he called, he was very upset because he was having trouble opening up a bank account without a SSN. We coached him extensively, but he continued to have trouble. Therefore he concluded, that because he could not open up a bank account in a convenient location, the process “doesn’t work.”

In other words, if he could not conveniently open up a bank account without a SSN, then the cost of reclaiming his liberty is too great.

I have had people call to tell me that the Alternative Travel Documentation “doesn’t work”. When I inquire why not, I am told it is because the local sheriff or police or judge says he will not recognize the Alternative Travel Documentation as valid. In other words, if my public servants do not tell me that I can use the Alternative Travel Documentation, then I cannot use it. My freedom of travel is dependent on what police, judges, etc. say or do.

Canceling your voter’s registration and filing as a Qualified Elector “doesn’t work”, according to some, because people who have gone down and asked their county officials, who generally do not know the laws they are sworn to uphold, have been told that they cannot claim their right of suffrage. Again, whether a process “works” is made dependent on what the “fox” tells you about “guarding the hen house.”

Some people say rescission “doesn’t work” because the courts refuse to recognize individual sovereignty and/or the Social Security Administration will not take your name off their list of assigned numbers.

In each and every one of these cases, the reason given for a process “not working” is that someone else – generally a government official – refuses to recognize what you have done. This complaint comes from the mind of servitude, not Sovereignty.

Consider the meaning of these words: What are you willing to do to preserve your personal freedom? What aren’t you willing to do to preserve that same personal freedom?

Are you willing to take whatever time and inconvenience it calls for, in order to get a bank account opened without a SSN? Are you willing to go to another state to open your account, if that’s what you need to do? Are you willing to go without a bank account in order to preserve your individual liberty?

Are you willing to stand on Truth and Law, even in the face of government officials who refuse to recognize your filings? Are you willing to, if necessary, go toe-to-toe with your public servants to accomplish your objectives while never compromising one iota of your freedom?

Sovereignty means supreme mastery. The Sovereign is the King, the Queen, royalty, nobility… the buck really does stop with the Sovereign.

When a Sovereign makes a declaration, it is the Law, because the Sovereign has said that it is! It requires no “official” stamp of approval in order to become Law. Unless it is lawfully refuted pursuant to Law, it remains the Law indefinitely. If any so-called “official” does not recognize your lawful declaration, then that official has usurped power and is acting as a criminal. Treat him accordingly.

When you look to others to validate your declaration, you are acting like one in servitude to another. Granted, we have all been well-programmed to act in such a way, so it may be forgiven when it occurs, but it is absolutely necessary, if we are to reclaim our country as the Land of the Free, that we take back control of our own lives, our own decisions. The Sovereign declares; he never requests.

The processes we teach at Freedom Bound International do indeed “work”. I am ample proof of this. I live without a SSN; I have bank accounts and charge cards with no numbers attached (though I seldom use credit cards and do not recommend living on debt). I own nothing and therefore enjoy the full use of property; I exercise freedom in every aspect of my life. I do not carry any State-issued licenses or permits. I am not a registered voter. Despite (or because of) all of this, I have had virtually no trouble from the sheriff, police, IRS, State or federal government.

Yes, it took a little bit longer to open up my first bank account without a SSN. I’ve had to spend more time getting to law libraries to conduct legal research, than if I hired someone else to do these things for me. It is less convenient for me to pay my bills with money orders than checks, but I do so anyway to help protect my privacy. Because I know I am Sovereign, I am willing to endure any inconvenience, any expense, overcome any obstacle in pursuit of my personal freedom.

In my experience, those people who know they are Sovereign are very successful in accomplishing their freedom objectives with minimal hassle, while those who are prone to complaining about it being “too hard” will find that it generally is.

I can tell you stories about people who by holding themselves as Sovereign, have backed down judges, boarded airplanes without showing any identification, in other words, enjoyed liberty without complying with government regulations.

On the other hand, I know of one man who thought it was too much hassle to travel two hours to a real law library rather than trust the Internet for his legal research. The Sovereign will make the time to know the truth! The subject will simply believe what he or she is told – truth or lies – because it is much easier to do so.

If you are to reclaim your natural rights and truly live free from government intrusion and regulation, you must assume the mantle of Sovereignty. You are the nobility in these united States of America. You are the Lawmakers, not the Congress, police or bureaucrats.

If you are to live free, you must act like a Sovereign. Carry yourself in a different way. Walk with the poise of royalty, the gait of supreme confidence, the demeanor of knowledge and authority. If you knew you were royalty, would you behave any differently when dealing with your public servants? Start behaving that way today.

When obstacles show up along the path of sovereignty, overcome them. Deal with them. Defeat them. Solve them. But do not reverse your course. Do not abandon the noble struggle in which we are all engaged. Do not leave the field of battle, but rather bring to bear all of your noble blood, all of your Sovereign interest, that you may emerge ever stronger, ever more ready for the next obstacle, ever more the soldier hardened by battle in the eternal defense of the Laws of your Creator.

  1. How do you say “nut job” in English? Oh yeah, “nut job”.
    –”Paranoia will destroy ya”

  2. What’s the point of being Sovereign? To have a multitude of obstacles to overcome in order to get anything done. Why? Just to say you’re Sovereign? Why must you be invisible? What’s the point? I understand your need to not be bothered by government agencies, but this is way over the top a pain in the ass to accomplish. And then what? What happens after you accomplish this? You walk with your head held high? Uhm, I’d be exhausted if I had to do all of this. I know someone who does this, and he describes everything that you do, and then some. He lives a very difficult life, all in the name of supposed “freedom”. I don’t know what kind of freedom he has that I don’t have, and it seems like he’s just bashing his head against the wall just to be invisible. Again, invisible from what or whom? Why don’t you just fake your own death and start over? Change your name a couple of times? Really? What’s the point? After all is said and done, no one is really free until they’re dead and gone. Even then, someone could be waiting on the other side. Good luck with freedom.

  3. The biggest obstacle is not government, not banks, not employers, not businesses. It is…the WIFE! I do not want to live with government functionaries. The idea is to have as little to do with them as possible. I do not want to deal with banks. I’d much rather receive cash (or US Postal Money Orders, which I can cash at a post office) than checks. I’d rather never set foot in a bank office for the rest of my life, except to cash a check over the counter. I’d much rather be a private contractor than an employee. Phooey on employers. Businesses (other than my own business that I mind) are a “necessary evil” to obtain necessities and conveniences.
    But I want to spend the rest of my life with my wife. And women tend to be, if anything, more timid than men. To an extent this is good, for a woman can be a restraint on dangerous activities by her man. But too much of this and a man is pressed to be a good slave, even to beg for a slave collar, for what a woman wants most in life: security. Not liberty. Security. It is the nature of women to desire to be “owned” by a man. Only when a woman is disappointed in a man, and especially in a number of men close to her, does she start looking for security elsewhere.
    And what represents security? Power. She looks to a man for protection, which requires the exercise of at least some power. But if she is disappointed in the security provided by her man or by the men close to her, where does she look? Perhaps to another man. But often, usually, perhaps, she looks to the most powerful element in society: government.
    She will be disappointed by government in another desire of her life: love. Government will not love her. Government will provide the same sort of protection that a pimp provides to his whores. Or a dairyman to his milk cattle. But if she can obtain security and protection, she will sell herself out for it. She will (perhaps not happily) put a collar and chain on her neck for security.
    Certainly there are women who are not like this. A few value liberty more than security. And all too many men will sell themselves into slavery for the appearance of security. But typically a liberty-seeking man will be virtually hamstrung by his wife. She may seem supportive, even encouraging, for a while, but when the first wolf snarls, she is ready to quit the liberty quest. She may be enthusiastic at first, but when she begins bearing children, she starts worrying about placating the wolves or finding more protection for herself and her children. She may readily sell her children into slavery for their security. But it’s the same kind of security the pimp and the dairyman provide to their females. As long as the whore is young and attractive, her pimp will protect her, as she is his source of easy money. As long as the milk cow is producing plenty of milk, the dairyman will protect her. But when the whore starts getting old and worn, not so pretty, her pimp values her less and less, finally casting her out. When the milk cow’s milk production drops too much, she goes to the butcher.

  4. “Living free from government regulation” is the key ingredient of the article. In Canada, the former Information COmmissioner spoke of “The Individual’s RIght to be Anonymous from the State” That is the most important thing that comes to mind when one sees The Fifth Estate investigation on how Canada Revenue Agency destroyed a man his business, his lands and property seized…and all the while CRA was operating like one of those Nazi war ministeries, free from the shackels of civil liberties and all. In the end guess what? CRA was operating ondata that they had cooked up against this man! They said “we don;t have to tgell anyone how we arrived at these figures!” How about that?

    Now, if any single person like “nutjob” above believes that this is a sole isolated case, they’re idiots, fools liars charlatans or all of the above… but mostly they’re smiling dissemblers whose acceptance of these conditions means somehow they’re benefiting from these conditions…friends of government perhaps or “insiders”.

    The man that stands before me as some have and says “Oh… everyone has to pay his fair share” is a man who has learned to hide his, and the man who says “Oh ..I don;t mind paying a little bit more for the services I receive.” He belongs to a civil service union who is getting paid by that “little bit more”.

    In Canada the combined federal provincial marginal tax rate on middle class families is 48%

    in Canada if you go above a certain level in filing medical receipts (you have to have more than 3% to even file for a tax break!) they audit you.

    In Canada if you use TUrboTax or qQuickTax to file online… almost certainly you’ll be pulled out for an audit even though these programmes are hugely cost effective for everyone!!

    In Canada they pulled a re-assessment of all waiters and waitresses in the most deprived area of the land, because CRA thought their tips were being under-reported… these are people living on the lower rung of the socio-economic ladder.

    So, if grammie dies and leaves you a bundle, you have the absolute right to get it into the Turks & Caicos and never tell CRA about it ever again. and if being “Sovereign” is what it takes, where do I sign up>???

    Governments are lice. THey’re no longer “of the people” they are enties unto themselves and YOU are just inventory.
