Requirement for Consent

of a civilized society – rather than the violent and destructive means that define the state – my thoughts return to contract 1 theory. I must admit, at the outset, that the make-believe "social contract" foundations of the state, reveal the wholesale 2 breach of the obligations of both parties. The failure of the state to restrain its voracious and ruinous appetites is already a 3 matter of record, even to its defenders whose intellectual dishonesty and/or cowardice will not permit them to express the 4 fact. But there is a concurrent obligation on the part of those subject to state rule that finds expression in words carved onto 5 the entrance to the Nebraska state capitol building: "The Salvation of the State is Watchfulness in the Citizen." It was the 6 failure of most people to live up to this standard that led me to write, a few years ago, about the need to impeach the 7 American people! The "watchfulness" of most Americans is confined to such television programs as "American Idol" or 8 "Dancing With the Stars." 9 The breaches on both sides of this alleged contract are of such enormity as would lead any competent court of law to regard 10 any such "agreement" as a nullity; subject to enforcement by neither party. Such defenses as "frustration of purpose," 11 "impossibility of performance," "unconscionability," "unequal bargaining power," "fraud in the inducement," and other 12 concepts have regularly been used by the courts to excuse further performance by the parties to a contract. 13 I propose that we respond to our alleged obligations to the state – duties we never agreed to in the first place – in the same 14 manner by which we would treat our hypothetical car dealer in the marketplace: to walk away and take our business 15 elsewhere! Whatever goods or services we desire in our lives, and which we have been conditioned to believe can only be 16 provided by the state, can be found in the willingness of our neighbors to freely and genuinely contract with us in ways that 17 do not depend upon predation, restraint, or violence. It is time for us to discover the peaceful and creative nature of a 18 society grounded in a voluntary "meeting of the minds" of free men and women! 19

How would we express our intention to invalidate the contract, from a legal perspective? By generating legal evidence of 20 all the following in the government’s own records: 21

1. Changing our citizenship status in government records to that of a non-resident CONSTITITUTIONAL but not 22 STATUTORY citizen. 23 2. Quitting all government franchises and licenses. 24 3. Stop filling out government forms and rescind all forms we have filled out. 25 4. Changing our tax status to that of a “ non-resident NON- person” . 26

All of the above are accomplished by:
