In light of what Rights are natural, and pre-suppose man, the whole of idea of Human Rights becomes at best oxymoronic and at worse dangerous; dangerous to those who accept that another human (or group of humans) has capacity to give out Rights (as opposed to privileges) and therefore also has the right (authority) to take them away.
No man can take away your Inherent Rights - only human rights granted by humans can be given or taken, therefore they are not rights at all; they are "privileges."
It is free will that gives significance to man’s life, making everyone responsible, accountable, and liable for everything he thinks, speaks, writes, and does. The foundational presumption of law and life is that every individual free-will being is the unit of responsibility, accountability, and sovereignty. Were this premise not regarded as axiomatic, no basis for any law could exist in society.
“If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or give up any natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to freedom being the gift of Almighty God, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave.” ~ Samuel Adams
Remember that your rights, your sovereignty, are God-given; they are not granted by any constitution or government. The Constitution created no rights. The Constitution is not your controlling document—it is theirs. The Constitution created the government and the controls over it, and it binds officials of government, not you.
Your rights are constitutionally secured, God-given, inherent rights, and government is not supposed to remove them from you by any process. Of course government does remove our inherent rights for practical purposes, such as civil defense and infrastructure, removing what they call Rights (albeit not "natural Rights" but legal rights/privileges) as the governing authority sees fit.
“How true it is, that states and governments were made for man; and at the same time how true it is, that his creatures and servants have first deceived, next vilified, and last, oppressed their master and maker.” ~ Chisholm, 2 US 419, 1 L Ed 440
What you can do or cannot do depends upon the operational laws of whatever particular Jurisdictions of Law you function under. The significance of the phrase “jurisdiction of law” becomes clear when we define the words used, which are as follows:
1. “Jurisdiction” = power, authority, and control by legal/official uses of deadly force. The word derives from “juris,” meaning “law,” and “diction,” meaning to utter via words (speaking or writing.)
2. “Of” is a possessive term, meaning “belonging to.” A “citizen of the United States,” for instance, means a “citizen” belonging to the “United States.”
3. “Law” is the set of rules, regulations, and policies (codified in writing) constituting uses of deadly, official, legalized force. “Law,” in short, constitutes “all legally sanctioned grounds for using violence to enforce the rules of a particular jurisdiction, to the ultimate extents required to attain compliance, which is death.” Insofar as all civil governments are concerned, “law” therefore means the rules that some set of people adopt as the criteria to decide who has what right (power and authority) to blow your head off. A government consists of an organized attempt to rule life by death.
There are many jurisdictions of law operating (or available to utilize) today. The jurisdictions that most concern us are:
1. “Law,” i.e. common law, which involves unalienable rights, substance, full capacity to contract, and individual sovereignty, and is based on people’s identity as real,bio-spiritual beings(people) and notlegal fictions(persons).
2. “Equity,” which derives from the ancient English courts of chancery in which a judge is delegated—by contract with all of the disputing parties—to hear and entertain a civil dispute and formulate a final ruling as to which parties prevail and who owes whom what. In equity, the judge is the unquestioned final arbitrator of the matter and is free (given his authority by contractual agreement from the parties) to use his professional expertise to form a “fair, expert, and unbiased” resolution of the dispute that might involve many more considerations than common law can provide (including things such as compassion and extenuating circumstances outside the purview of common law) for reaching his decision.
3. “Admiralty,” which is the law of the high seas and in which the captain’s word is law. It is Roman Civil Law operating on shipboard. The purpose of all ocean voyages is commerce, i.e. transporting goods or passengers across oceanic waters from port A to port B. A voyage is a “mission,” a term meaning a “venture in commerce,” concerning which all considerations are sacrificed to the good of the voyage. On board ship the captain is king—sole dictator and decider of all matters—and no one on board possesses any independent rights, standing in law, capacity to contract, etc. This is because everyone on board is presumed to be there because he voluntarily executed a common law contract on land to go on the voyage, surrendering all his rights in exchange for benefiting from the venture. Once on board the ship, however, no one has any right whatsoever to engage in any action without the approval of the captain, nor any right to refrain from complying with any order of the captain. All such rights were contractually surrendered when boarding the ship.
4. “Ecclesiastical law,” which is the law of spiritual or religious realms, in which law is not a function of one’s contracts with secular states, but is formulated and administered in accordance with the contract of the people involved with God (however they conceive of Him/Her/It) and the religious organization/hierarchy. A climate in which civil law and ecclesiastical law jurisdictions have no influence over each other is described by the phrase, “separation of church and state.”
Enormous confusion, frustration, and suffering exist in the world today, especially those searching for freedom, when people do not know and understand what jurisdiction they are subject to and how they got there. You may find yourself asking where did my freedom go, how come I am required to get a license to marry, a business license to offer my skills, and a list of approx. over 1 billion other statues, rules, codes, laws, and don’t forget the taxes.
These questions are explored in this section of the site, along with possible solutions for peers to create our own law forums based on common societal goals. We believe that the Information Age will create conditions where people will find options for acting with greater sovereignty, this will be achieved through market mechanisms and application of the first type of law numbered above - “Law,” i.e. common law.
TheFree Digital Universeconcept uses the first type of law, common law and private contract, to offer anyone wishing it an alternative jurisdiction in cyber-space where they can experience greater levels of freedom,sovereignty, and prosperity (without conflict to pre-existing obligations) without fear of violence, prejudice, or discrimination.
We are moving into a new Age, the Information Age, and the implications are both astounding potential or great fear.
The mind-set of being sovereign, self-responsible, and confident will serve you greatly in the Information Age; the following excerpts from the book the Sovereign Individual have been collected to impress upon you the inevitability of rapid change and what you should expect to see – as a result of the Information Technology Revolution.
Excerpts from “The Sovereign Individual, Surviving and Thriving during the Collapse of the Welfare State.”
“The theme of this book is the new revolution of power which is liberating individuals at the expense of the twentieth century nation state, Innovations that alter the logic of violence in unprecedented ways are transforming the boundaries within which the future must lie. If our deductions are correct, you stand at the threshold of the most sweeping revolution in history.
Faster than all but a few now imagine, micro-processing will subvert and destroy the nation state, creating new forms of social organization in the process, This will be far from an easy transformation.
Each of the previous stages of society has corresponded with distinctly different phases in the evolution and control of violence. As we explain in detail, information societies promise to dramatically reduce the returns to violence, in part because they transcend locality. In the new millennium, the advantage of controlling violence on a large scale will be far lower than it has been at any time since before the French Revolution. This will have profound consequences.
Increasingly autonomous individuals and bankrupt, desperate governments will confront one another across a new divide. We expect to see a radical restructuring of the nature of sovereignty and the virtual death of politics before the transition is over.Instead of state domination and control of resources, you aredestined to see the privatization of almost all services governments now provide. For inescapable reasons that we explore at length in this book, information technology will destroy the capacity of the state to charge more for its services than they are worth to the people who pay for them.
Sovereignty Through Markets
To an extent that few would have imagined only a decade ago, individuals will achieve increasing autonomy over territorial nation states through market mechanisms.All nation states face bankruptcy and the rapid erosion of their authority.
Information technology makes possible a dramatic extension of markets by altering the way that assets are created and protected. This is revolutionary Indeed, it promises to be more revolutionary for industrial society than the advent of gunpowder proved to be for feudal agriculture. Citizenship will go the way of chivalry.
We believe that the age of individual economic sovereignty is coming. Just as steel mills, telephone companies, mines, and railways that were once "nationalized" have been rapidly privatized throughout the world, you will soon see the ultimate form of privatization the sweeping denationalization of the individual. The Sovereign Individual of die new millennium will no longer be an asset of the state, a de facto item on the treasury's balance sheet.” - End Sovereign Individual paraphrase.
