Linda, that was a very well -reasoned and thoughtful explanation. I had the same initial reaction when I watched the video- that the points made were familiar territory, but instead of the Republic of Texas I was thinking of the Montana Freemen.
I think his points about the difference between Common Law and contractual obligations are correct. But, again, what are you going to do? One thing I think was a little misleading- the sequence showing two police officers turning away after being challenged to produce the law they were supposedly trying to enforce seemed to indicate that that outcome would be typical if the populace were only educated enough to challenge them. That WILL NOT happen in America. The thugs we have here will only see any questioning as an escalation and drag you away regardless. There are plenty of income tax protesters in U.S. prisons regardless of the fact that there is no law on the books that says you have to pay- only statutes created by a government bureaucracy.
Interestingly, D&B does list U.S.governmental institutions as businesses. In addition it lists individuals; President Clinton and Donald Rumsfeld, to name two I found.
I believe that the points made in the video are valid, but as you alluded to, we will never be able to change the system we have, so what does he want us to do? As you are, I am very skeptical of folks who point out these kinds of things and then go on to offer more information for a price.
I am curious as to what criteria D&B use to list a business. Why would individuals be listed?
