I was invited to join this board, so here goes.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among thses are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."

This document was the 13 American Colonies justification to the world as to why they were no longer under the "lawful" authority of England. The fundamental principle for the establishment of this "new government" was government derives its just powers from the consent of the governed.

Does the government of the united States of America have the explicit consent of each and every individual in this country today? Did they have the consent of each and every individual in 1776? Have you given your explicit consent to be governed? If so, exactly what did you consent to? If not, are you allowing yourself to be governed and why?

In my opinion, a discussion of this most fundamental principle is necessary to under freedom/liberty. Winston Ward Johnson, a Freeman, Sui Juris


I am a free Human Being and I have the right to ignore the State.
I know my rights, I declare my rights, I exercise my rights and I damn well will defend my rights!
Freedom is contagious, knowledge is the source of infection. Infect knowledge!
Long live individualist-anarchism!
