NON-CONSENT

The word freedom, for all it conveys, is a much misunderstood concept. It is touted as the ability to think or do what you want, but rarely is it fully explained. How can you do what you want if you don’t have what you need to do it with? How can you have what you need if you don’t work for it? You see, if you take what you need from another without working for it, then you have violated the very foundation of Natural Law upon which this nation was founded. That being that all men are created equal, and as such are entitled to their respective inalienable rights; and no one else’s.

Obviously, if one man can take something of value from another to exercise his free-will then men would no longer be equal, as one has only obtained freedom by virtue of the one deprived. Clearly one, by fraud or force, is entitling himself to more than his birth right; and in the same instant denying another his birth right. That is, as long as there is someone else with something of value to deprive.

As such, freedom for all its decrees is yours only if you work for it. It’s not an entitlement. It can’t be given. It certainly can’t be legislated. It must be earned. Until you come to a cohesive understanding of this absolute, freedom will be as elusive as it is overrated.

This brings us to another powerful, but much overlooked concept; Consent. Simple in definition, but having a far greater reach rarely acknowledged, consent is the consummation of your freedom. After all, you can’t be said to have acted of your own free will, unless you have acted on your own volition; consented as it were. And acting on one’s own volition, implies that one could just as easily not have acted at all. As to be free to choose, means one is free not to choose. Simply stated, consent cannot be forced, because if your agreement has been obtained by coercion, then it was not given of your own free will, but extorted; the exact opposite of consent. Not to mention, the antithesis of freedom.

More notably, your consent cannot have been obtained by fraud either, because if your consent has only been obtained by outright deception or surreptitious means then common sense, not to mention the Law, says that you have not truly consented at all. Why? Because, you really didn’t know to what you had agreed.

Therefore, in order to exercise free will, you must not only feel free to not consent, but if to consent, have a reasonable understanding of what you are in fact, agreeing to. Then and only then can it be said that you are truly free. Which begs the question: Are we Americans free today? Before you jump to answer, remember that you must act on your own volition and know to what you have actually agreed.

Today though, I watch my fellow Americans pay blind subservience to a morally and financially bankrupt government; a fictitious entity that only exists by and through our collective consent. After all, governments are nothing, have nothing and can do nothing but by the will of the governed; the People. Makes you think, doesn’t it?

At present, our nation is on the brink of insolvency. Our standing in the world, under any number of dynamics is falling. Our government officials violate our nation’s constitutional agreement and our trust on almost a daily basis; with impunity. We are subject to an ever increasing tax-burden with no regard to our assent. By any measure, most of us don’t even trust, let alone believe our government any longer. Leaving me to wonder why any American would consent to its governance at all. Could it be that many of us only consent out of sheer ignorance? Perhaps we think that we can appease a thief, whether armed with a gun or dressed in a suit, by handing over just one more dollar? Or, dare I say, do we only consent under duress, coercion? If so, then that is not consent at all; but madness!

Yet, still consenting to such insanity, we profess to be the freest people in history. I put to you, that there is a misstatement here. And I see no mistake or illogic in my thinking, because you see, I know to what I consent; or more appropriately, what I no longer consent to. You see, I have studied what the Law is and from where Law in this nation derives; or should I say, from where it is supposed to derive. Where the illogical comes in, is that our government today is not following any Law at all; neither the Law to which they swore an oath (Constitution), nor the laws they themselves implement. And therein lays the key. Why should they? If we, a free people, and yes we are free, choose by ignorance, apathy or subservience, to consent to such lawlessness, than why would we expect anything different from those in our government. After all, if we don’t care to what we consent, why should they care to what they abide?

I put to my fellow Americans that we, as a nation, are no longer free. That we have, out of our own ignorance and apathy, willfully given up our freedoms. There is no other explanation. Free men are free to do whatever they wish and if my fellow Americans choose to give up their freedoms, who am I to tell them otherwise? I can and will however, tell them that their course is a path of self destruction. That this nation, ship-of-state as it were, is sinking into a sea of depravity, debt and lawlessness. And there exists no person or thing to change its course, because without the true power of a nation, the people, to alter it, history will relegate this nation, this silent tyranny, and us, to the annihilation that it has so historically exacted throughout time.

For those Americans who would truly wish to stand up and re-claim their liberties, I must apprise you that time is short. And the path dangerous, because where once upon a time, a minor correction may have altered our course, today it will amount to retaking the ship. You see, our ship has been hijacked. Yes, just like those aircraft on September 11th. And just like that day, the hijackers will not give up their control easily.

The only question you need to ask yourself, if you wish to reclaim what is rightfully yours, is do you know to what a citizen of the United States consents? Since it is blatantly apparent that most of you do not, I will tell you.

Study, understand and be prepared to fight for those inalienable rights and protections so well articulated in this nation’s former Bill of Rights. No matter what you’ve heard as to the Constitution being antiquated, no matter who has attacked and degraded it, your liberties as a free people and your salvation as a just nation, lie in its words and nowhere else.

Until you have come to an understanding of Constitution, Law and what it means to be a citizen, then and only then can you reap the true value of your consent; or more significantly, your non-consent. Because as long as we consent to the aberration, the unlawful, the federal government as it stands today, you are feeding the aberrant; the tyrants. There is no middle ground here. They are the antithesis of the United States of America. They don’t want to adhere to or uphold the laws of these United States. They seek to enslave you; and use your own free will, your consent with which to bind you.

So decide fellow Americans. Decide your future. It’s in your hands and your hands alone. Continue to feed the depraved, the fraud and the criminal or reclaim your freedom by removing from this aberrant government what is essential to its continued existence and ultimately, our demise; your consent. That being every man’s inherent right to NON-CONSENT!
