Going My Way?

The most fundamental right

RADIO FAR SIDE

Folks, there is a right so fundamental, so critical that the Framers of the US Constitution just assumed everyone knew it and they didn’t bother to write it up. This right was the centerpiece of the Magna Carta. Rights like free speech, religion, press and assembly absolutely depend on it. It is so vital that all other rights hinge upon it.

And yet, no one ever thinks about it.

How do you get to the venue to hear the speech? How do you get to your place of worship? How do you get to the local news stand? How do you get to the assembly for redress of grievances?

Aha! Transportation! Forgot about that one, didn’t you? I bet most readers this very moment have a “driver’s” license, a registered “vehicle,” liability insurance, and probably even an inspection sticker (something just now coming to Indonesia, by the way).

Suppose I told you that you don’t need any of this rubbish? Would you be motivated to fight for your most fundamental right, a soft spot in the Bumbledick armor that even they don’t mention it?

Here’s how it works and how you got trapped into this diabolical scheme.

The people, through their local, state and national governments, vote to issue bonds and collect taxes to pay for them, in order to build nice roads for their convenience and conveyance. As owners of the roads, they can use them any time without additional cost to go about their daily lives of getting to speeches, churches, news stands, and assemblies - not to mention school, work and the grocery store.

If you use the people’s roads for commercial activity, then you must pay a surcharge and meet certain standards, so any wear and tear comes out of your profits, not the people’s pockets.

The law is a code, and you must learn how to decipher the code to see how you are being duped. All laws contain definitions of “terms”. Terms are special meanings of words that only apply within the context of the law, and they do not have the common meaning we know of as “words”.

Most traffic laws in the US (I can’t speak to other countries, but I suspect the same is true) contain terms like, “vehicle,” “drive(r),” “traffic,” and similar text. Those terms, within the context of the law, are commercial things and activities that are considered illegal without a “license”. A license, as defined by Black’s, is permission to do something that is otherwise illegal. Engaged in commerce over the roads? Pay a fee and get permission.

You, as a natural human endowed with natural rights and owner of the road, do not need a license to use your property. Do you have a license to speak, or go to church, or assemble? Well, if you have a “driver’s” license you do. After all, a “driver” is someone hired to maneuver a “vehicle” in the process of “trafficking” in commercial goods. Are you hired to operate your car? Didn’t think so.

For 20 years, before leaving the States, I fought this battle tooth and nail. I spent considerable time in jail. I got pulled over a lot. I got hassled and humiliated and lectured. But I never paid a single fine, and after a while cops stopped pulling me over and courts dismissed my tickets.

Why? Because I would file a 25-page brief on the right to travel and the very long legal history of court decisions, as well as the text of the laws themselves. I was never once allowed to put this information in front of a jury. I had over 150 tickets dismissed, but they made me come to court and sit to the end of the docket, and when the room was empty, the judge would mumble a bit and toss the case.

If there’s enough interest, I’ll post all my documentation on the Locals site, possibly behind a paywall, because I spent years of research and hassle to get them.

One of the fundamental rights that is under greatest attack right now is the right to travel “by whatever means expedient” in the course of our daily lives. They are attacking our cars, trying to limit our range of motion and increase the expense of owning a conveyance. They are making the regulatory compliance process so difficult and costly that we give up our right to freely travel and use their cattle cars (busses, trains, etc.).

This is something anyone can fight, and at least in Western countries, there is a long history of law and precedence that makes the argument clear and unambiguous. It’s a lot of work. You have to study the issue and be able to argue it competently with “authorities,” but the reward is inestimable. Wresting our right to travel from them completely undermines the entire “green” agenda and all the track-and-trace systems they are working so hard to build around us.

Here’s how the system works. From the factory bill of sale, the state generates a “vehicle registration” on its books. Thus, all cars, trucks and motorcycles become registered commercial vehicles. When you buy one, the “title” is transferred to you with a registration event, and a “license” tag is issued and affixed to the “vehicle”. After that, anytime you operate the machine on publicly-owned roads, you are assumed to be engaged in commercial activity, and thus need a “driver’s” license to use your property.

If you go to court to fight a ticket, and admit that you were “driving” your “vehicle” in “traffic,” well…they’ve got you.

How can you get out of this system? There are a number of ways, some easier, others more difficult. All are highly entertaining as you watch the “authorities” fall all over themselves trying to keep you locked in.

The easiest way is buy a kit car. Since you are the manufacturer and you hold the bill of sale, you are under no obligation to convert the sale to a “title” and “registration”. Without registration, you don’t need a license to operate your property on your roads, especially when engaged in exercising your natural rights outside of commercial trade. Make your own property identification plates for even more fun!

The other way out is to buy a used car from a private individual for cash. Have them sign the title and a bill of sale. Be sure the bill of sale includes identifying marks like VIN numbers. Do NOT go to the registrar’s office and “transfer title”. The bill of sale and signed title are all you need to establish ownership of private property. This one is a bit more tricky, because all the commercial logos and markings may confuse ignorant cops and judges, but those marks are easily removed. Again, put your private property identification tags on it and enjoy the freedom!

I initially tried to let registrations lapse, but without the bill of sale, you wade into more turbulent waters. If you are really gung-ho, you can have your legal fiction sell the car to you as a natural person, but the arguments get quite a bit more complex and you will need to do a lot of research to competently argue this in court.

It seems to me that throwing their vehicle system into chaos is a single-point failure that they do not want anyone to see. All the wrangling over everything else is nothing more than a distraction from this soft underbelly. After all, if we defeat their licensing system for cars, then everything else follows. If private natural humans don’t need licenses for travel, then how about guns, or real estate titles, or any other form of registration and control?

Make no mistake, they will fight you and they don’t fight fair. If you don’t know all the intricacies of the law, you will be railroaded.

The reward is the sense of freedom you have when you roll down the street with none of the accoutrements of slavery plastered all over your property. The reward is friends and family asking how you did that and don’t get pulled over. By the way, I was shown by a cop that my file on their in-car ID system actually had a label that said, “DON’T PULL OVER”. I had actually extracted myself from their system. It is possible, though it took me about eight years to get there.

If thousands of people will step up to this particular fight, I firmly believe we can deliver a mortal blow to their schemes. It’s all in the laws, but they hide the truth by sprinkling the definitions all over the hundreds of pages of gobbledy gook. It’s a 3-D puzzle, and you really have to work to find the solution. In the end, yanking this particular right out of their slimy hands undermines 15-minute cities, toll roads, tax-per-mile schemes, green vehicles, and so much more.

Did you ever imagine you had so much power in one punch?
