Freedom is the Default Position
Government is the negation of freedom. Freedom is everyone's personal, natural birthright. The sovereignty of the person — made in the image and likeness of the Creator — can never be equal morally and legally to a gaggle of politicians running an artificial monopoly of power in a geographic area.
Our rights are either inalienable or they're not. If they're not, freedom is an illusion. If they are inalienable, the government must leave our freedoms alone.

If what is mentioned below is confusing . . . that's exactly the point of it.
People ask all the time, why does it keep going wrong with banks, off-shore accounts, deficit spending, and the government in general. The reason is, they are all essentially the same people.
Sure, perhaps this year someone is the crime fighter, and the other is the criminal. But after a year of headhunting and networking, the supervisor can suddenly become a banker, and the banker suddenly a legislator.
All these people go to the same universities, join the same clubs, vote the same, and receive pay-offs from organizations they represent.
They take the same stupid wine classes and go to the same Bible studies, chasing after fairytales for meaning and absolution. In a museum, they wonder how expensive the paintings are. They've bought a seat in a theater they never sit in. They numbly drive BMWs, Mercedes, and Teslas from business to bank to Congress to Pentagon, all tax deductible.
The only question is, why do we continue to allow this Inner Circle of Fraud to continue to control the rest of us? It seems helpless to stop it in Washington DC; but it is within our reach stop it in Kansas.
How Pervasive is the Inner Circle of Fraud?
The Inner Circle ofFraud extends from big government into the corporate world. Here is a list of the companies owned by Monsanto [now Bayer], the manufacturer of the toxic herbicide glyphosate;
Aunt Jemima, Aurora Foods, Banquet, Best Foods, Betty Crocker, Bisquick, Cadbury, Campbell's, Capri Sun, Carnation, Chef Boyardee, Coca Cola, Con-Agra, Delicious Brand Cookies, Duncan Hines, Famous Amos, Frito Lay, General Mills, Green Giant, Healthy Choice, Heinz, Hellmans, Hershey's, Holsum, Hungry Jack, Hunts, Interstate Bakeries, Jiffy, KC Masterpiece, Keebler/Flowers Industries, Kellogg's, Kid Cuisine, Knorr, Kool-Aid, Kraft/Phillip Morris, Lean Cuisine, Lipton, Loma Linda, Marie Callender's, Minute Made, MorningStar, Mrs. Butterworth, Nabisco, Nature Valley, Nestles, Ocean Spray, Ore-Ida, Orville Redenbacher, Pasta-Roni, Pepperidge Farms, Pepsi, Pillsbury, Pop Secret, Post Cereals, Power Bar brand, Pringles, Prego Pasta Sauce, Proctor and Gamble, Quaker, Ragu Sauce, Rice-a-Roni, Smart Ones, Tombstone Pizza, Tortinos, Uncle Ben's, Unilever, V8.
The World Is Awakening While America Drifts in Fascism
Christine Anderson is a German politician who has served as a Member of the European Parliament since 2019, and is a member of the Alternative for Germany. I do not know what incident provoked her, but here is her speech in 2023 in front of the very Left-leaning EU Parliment.
"For God's sake, stop giving your democratically elected governments the benefit of the doubt. They are not deserving of that. They are not. Stop rationalizing whatever your government is doing. Stop rationalizing and coming up with some good intentions. They have no good intentions. Never.
As I said before, in the entire history of mankind, there has never been a political elite concerned about the well-being of regular people. And it isn't any different now. Why should it? Stop giving them the benefit of the doubt? Because I can tell you, you cannot comply your way out of a tyranny. It is impossible trying to do so. You will only feed a gigantic alligator in the hopes of being eaten last. But guess what? Your turn will come. And then you will be the one swallowed up.
I also have to ask about people and your silence. Speak up. For God's sake, stop complying. Start rebelling. They're out to get you, if you do not resist. I would also urge you to stop voting for those who inflict this psychological abuse on you, who mock you for their own good.
In order to deal with this unfree world, to defy this unfree world, I have decided to become so absolutely free that my very existence is an act of rebellion. And that's what we all need to do."
Her advice should be taken seriously. It is time to move beyond socializing on a cell phone.
The first sentence is, "What if the America you pledge allegiance to isn't the one running the show?"
Here is the link to must reading for free thinkers . . . and a challenge for others:
https://stylman.substack.com/p/the-corporate-veil?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
It is nearly 35 pages when formatted to 8 1/2 by 11. It has over 140 links for further reading. Unfortunately, within 5 days of being posted nearly 15% of the links are dead. My guess is a few sources do not want to be associated with the story the post tells.
To be honest, it contains enough material to be a semester long study of economic policy's impact on American History.
Kudos to Joshua Stylman for writing and posting it.
The Trump Mobsters in America's Central Government Have a New Twist on Violating Free Speech
Two weeks ago, the federal gestapo arrested a Syrian graduate student in his student housing at Columbia University, and shipped him to an immigration jail in Louisiana. He is married to a native-born American, they are expecting a child in April, and he is a permanent resident alien.
The student was charged with immigration violations, BUT the charging documents filed against him allege no crime or personal misbehavior, point to no statutory violations, and offer no evidence of the student's danger to persons or property or the government.
GET THIS: the charging documents claim that Secretary of State Rubio BELIEVES that this student's presence on the Columbia campus, given his outspoken support for a Palestinian state (the existence of which has been the public policy of the U.S. for generations), is a material impediment to the execution of American foreign policy.
Freedom of speech is now a crime in America, thanks to the latest Mobster in the White House!
Read about a doctor, another permanent resident alien, who was detained and deported because she was one of a million people at a Hezbollah leader's funeral as a follower of the man's Faith. Her story is here, too; https://ronpaulinstitute.org/perilous-times-for-personal-liberty/
It appears Freedom of Religion & Assembly are now also crimes in MAGA-Mob America!
Thanks Judge Napolitano!!
The Fight For The Bill Of Rights
There can be no understating the danger, the war on due process is here. No trials. No hearings. No rights. Just indefinite detention and secret deportations.
This is the fate that awaits every one of us, not just immigrants (legal or otherwise), IF the government's war on the Constitution remains unchecked.
As historian Timothy Snyder warns, "If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. ALL THE GOVERNMENT HAS TO DO IS CLAIM YOU ARE NOT A CITIZEN; WITHOUT DUE PROCESS YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO PROVE THE CONTRARY."
Read the entire post from the Rutherford Institute here; https://www.rutherford.org/publications_resources/john_whiteheads_commentary/making_our_rights_disappear_the_authoritarian_war_on_due_process
The central government is prepared to preemptively arrest and make people disappear, without any regard for legal protocols or due process, based solely on a President's claim that they could at some point in the future pose a threat to national security. This takes pre-crime and preemptive arrests to a whole new sinister level of potential abuses. Are you starting to sense how quickly this could go off the rails?
Or, is it already off the rails?
The Only Winning Move Is Not To Play
By: Mike Johnson
Once the federal, state and local governments mandated the injection of a bioweapon vaccine, you were freed from their demands forever.
They directly, openly tried to kill you.
They directly, openly killed your friends and family members.
Self-defense is a God-given right that no one can take away.
Yet the normalcy bias is so strong, most of the population is aggressively DEFENDING the people who tried to kill them. In a sane world, the criminal leaders would be arrested, tried and if found guilty of genocide, executed.
The only thing stopping this is mass confusion and lack of clarity. The criminals own the information systems and are gaslighting the public 24/7/365. The gaslighting is so effective, the criminals have us fighting among ourselves, rather than prosecuting THEM.
Short of worldwide, instant enlightenment, no individual humans can ever fix a world that is so far gone. Let the devils keep their troubles. ......

Get out of the box of coercion, control, and obedience. We are all free humans . . . time to be real.
We Are Being Watched
The only real question is, "Who does the gov't come for first?"

To quote the summary of this recent news story:
Artificial Intelligence allows for the interpretation of behavioral patterns at scale without direct interrogation or verification. Inferences replace facts. Correlations replace testimony.
The risk extends to everyone. While these technologies are often first deployed at the margins of society – against migrants, welfare recipients or those deemed "high risk" – there's little to limit their scope. As the infrastructure expands, so does its reach into the lives of all citizens.
With every form submitted, interaction logged and device used, a digital profile deepens, often out of sight. The infrastructure for pervasive surveillance is in place. What remains uncertain is how far it will be allowed to go.Note on This: This shows us the pervasiveness of the State, no matter what fool occupies the Oval Office. And the surveillance state is happening locally, too. Facebroke recently closed done a Elk County seller on Marketplace because she listed five pocket and hunting knives for sale. Facebroke's rationale considered the pocket knives to be weapons, just like guns and ammo.
How Easy Life Can Be
Etta James introduced one of her songs to a live audience by saying, "Janis Joplin made my next song a hit. I don't know how she sang it, but I know she did it her way. I'm going to sing it for you tonight the way I wrote it. I can't do her, but I can do me."
'I can't do her, but I can do me' is the ethos everyone of us needs to live by. How much easier can life be. Philosophy 101 and Religion 101 are no longer needed. Neither are words on paper that a group of people calling themselves a legislature, forces us to obey. Just go forward in life being you.

What Do We Do When The Mob In The Oval Office Suspends Freedom?
As Mr. Trump Contemplates Suspending Habeas Corpus . .
Judge Napolitano explains here by using a history lesson; https://ronpaulinstitute.org/what-if-freedom-is-suspended/
Remember These Findings
They Are Crucial to Natural Rights and Freedom
- 16 Am Jur 2d, Sec 177 late 2s, Sec 256
"No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it."
– Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. 137 (1803)
"A law repugnant to the Constitution is void. An act of Congress repugnant to the Constitution cannot become a law. The Constitution supersedes all other laws and the individual's rights shall be liberally enforced in favor of him, the clearly intended and expressly designated beneficiary."
– Ex parte Siebold, 100 U.S. 371 (1879)
"An unconstitutional law is void and is as no law. An offense created by it is not crime. A conviction under it is not merely erroneous but is illegal and void and cannot be used as a legal cause of imprisonment."
– Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425 (1886)
"An unconstitutional act is not law. It confers no rights; it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office. It is, in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed."
– Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966)
"Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule-making or legislation which would abrogate them."
– 16 American Jurisprudence 2d, Sec. 256
"No one is bound to obey an unconstitutional law, and no courts are bound to enforce it. The general rule is that an unconstitutional statute, whether federal or state, though having the form and name of law, is in reality no law, but is wholly void and ineffective for any purpose, since unconstitutionality dates from the time of its enactment, and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it. AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAW, in legal contemplation, IS AS INOPERATIVE AS IF IT HAD NEVER BEEN PASSED."

Just call it what it is, Martial Law
Trump's "Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force"
The Trump administration is evaluating plans that would establish hundreds of National Guard troops tasked with rapidly deploying into American cities facing protests or other unrest, according to internal Pentagon documents. The plan calls for 600 troops to be on standby at all times so they can deploy in as little as one hour. They would be split into two groups of 300 and stationed at military bases in Alabama and Arizona, with purview of regions east and west of the Mississippi River, respectively.
The article goes on to discuss legal issues, cots, and implementation problems; https://archive.is/2025.08.12-132729/https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/08/12/national-guard-civil-unrest/
The previous post mentioned that Martial Law was coming. Here is the next step. Just a guess, five years from now it will not be 600 on stand-by at all times, it will be 12,000. And a few units of them will always be occupying some City, whether the State Governor approves, or not. The clock is ticking.
WAKE UP, SLAVES
Recognize that freedom and slavery exist as extremes of a gradient. Between the plantation owner's whip and complete autonomy lie a series of arrangements; from serfdom, indentured servitude, debt bondage, to various forms of regulated participation in society. Consider where we actually fall within that spectrum when;
- you cannot keep the majority of your labor,
- you cannot opt out without facing state violence,
- you cannot choose how your extracted labor is used,
- you face increasing surveillance and restriction of movement, and
- "they" use terms like 'social contract' and 'civic duty' prevent us from examining what's really happening.
How far from the slavery end of the spectrum are we really? The sophistication of modern slavery lies in maintaining compliance through comfort rather than from suffering. A golden cage is still a cage, and a comfortable slave is still a slave.
Need to understand more? You surrender 30-50% of your labor before you ever see it. If you refuse, men with guns will eventually arrive at your door. The extraction is comprehensive and inescapable. Every economic action becomes a revenue opportunity for the system that owns your labor.
- you earn money, you pay income tax,
- you own property, you pay property tax,
- you spend money, you pay sales tax,
- you save money, you lose to inflation tax,
- you invest successfully, you pay capital gains tax,
- you start a business, you pay for licenses,
- you run a profitable business, you pay corporate and personal tax,
- you give money away, you pay gift tax, and
- you die with assets, your estate pays inheritance tax, and
- you can't opt out of funding wars you oppose, surveillance systems that monitor you, or bureaucracies that regulate your choices. Your 'property' can be seized for unpaid taxes, even if you own it outright.
Historically, slaves at least knew they were enslaved. The violence was visible, the coercion obvious, the enemy identifiable. Today's slaves are convinced they're consumers. But here is the real masterpiece: you've been convinced this is freedom.
Traditional slaves were told they're property; modern slaves are told they're customers. Traditional slaves were controlled through fear; modern slaves through convenience. Traditional slaves were kept ignorant; modern slaves are overwhelmed with controlled information that shapes their conclusions.
The plantation owner never convinced his slaves that chains were jewelry. The Congolese warlord doesn't pretend the child-labor cobalt mine is a wellness center. But we've been convinced that surveillance is safety, that debt is prosperity, that algorithmic control is empowerment.
Traditional slavery was economically inefficient—you had to house, feed, and guard your property. Modern slavery is self-maintaining: the slaves pay for their own monitoring devices, compete for their positions, and attack anyone who suggests they're not free. We've been conditioned to love our cages so thoroughly that questioning them feels like madness.
But wait, here is what's in the wings, here is what comes tomorrow:
• Identity Capture: Biometric databases make anonymous existence impossible.
• Data Processing: Massive server farms process every biometric signature in real-time.
• Interface Elimination: 'Contextually aware' devices remove conscious choice friction.
• Cognitive Control: AI systems shape how you think about questions themselves.
• Economic Dependency: Digital income tied to compliance monitoring.
• Biological Integration: Neural interfaces turn your cells into network nodes.
