What the US Constitution?
The one that doesn't give women the vote and allows slavery - do those exist in the present 'FOTL' world, or do you NOT allow slavery and grant women the right to vote? Article IV the states The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence...... I don't see anything about a FOTL structure...where is that? Amendment 14 - Citizenship Rights. Ratified 7/9/1868. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.......so where is the mention of FOTL?? Please explain? |

Explain what?
How a group of men who wanted too become free, did so? Look we could nit pick all day about whats good and bad in the constitution, and i like how you picked the "bad" stuff, to try and make your point and prove me wrong (which you did not). But whatever, what else should we suspect from a JREFer its typical. All that you need too know is that there have been Freeman before us and will be Freemen after us. And the DOI and Constitution is only proof of their previous success. I still don't see how you guys are denying their existence. |

What situation are we in and how do the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence relate to it? The reason I ask is I don't think you know, you're just hoping you can avoid the questions by getting people to go and read random documents. The ones you've mentioned have precisely zero relevance to my life, so why should I read them? What argument are you making that is supported by something they say?

Did these Freeman in the Magna Carta also revoke their allegiance to the King? ie the government?
Yes, I did prove you wrong - can women not vote and is slavery allowed in your FOTL world? Please explain how the DOI and Constitution prove that debts don't need to be repaid? The Constitution specifically states that the previous debts of the United States - created from printing money (continentals) are still valid |

I'm not here too educate everyone (thats your own job). Im not trying to avoid anyone.I just have better things too do then go point by point on how you guys are wrong.
If the DOI and Constitution have no relevance too yourself then im guessing your not American and then this has nothing to do with you. the whole issue is that they EXIST, freeman made them real. and if they can do it then anyone else who comes after them can do the samething. |

Some freeman align themselves with government and some don't.. this is the key too being a "free"man.
Fallacy.I don't have a FOTL world, so no you did not prove me wrong. And I never said the DOI and Constitution prove that debts don't need to be repaid. This is your 2nd fallacy in one response. everyone's rebuttals get worse and worse. |

Then stop posting. Either get in the discussion or leave. Simply telling everyone that they're wrong but refusing to explain why isn't useful or interesting, it's pretty much just trolling. And bad trolling at that.

You seem to be making up stuff
No one in the newly formed US was a Freeman in the sense you seem to think - to those who wanted 'elbow room' went west. There is no west now either you accept the US government or you are free to go and renounce your citizenship. Oh, so your one of the special sect of Freeman who pays their debts? Good on ya, but how are we suppose to know? What is you sect called Freeman of the land - non-freeloader division? |

I have explained myself countless number of times, you people just refuse too accept reality. And im not trolling, i trying too help actually help you guys.
the relevance is that the DOI and Constitution was not created by a omnipresence, omnipotent and omniscient god or government or the British empire. it was created by FREEMAN who choose too live life how they seen fit. and not under the rule of anyone but themselves. and this means if it was done ONCE it can be done AGAIN. and thus proof of the freeman theory. |

LoL, so the fascists get too bogart all the land? that's not freedom, so i guess you accept the reality of a government gone bad, right? not too mention land property is just an illusion up held by a gun.
And frankly it is JREF who has deemed the FOTL freeloaders. You guys don't care too analyze anything you all just made broad assumptions and stereotypes and apply them too the group as a whole, because its woo. seriously the accumulated intelligence here is worse then a 6 grade classroom. |

Why don't you sleep it off, then come back and re-read the thread and find out exactly whom posters are referring to when they speak of "Freemen on the Land"? |

more ad hominems? what if i have never even smoked in my life? where does your argument go from there? your assumptions/opinions are really discrediting your credibility.
and just for your information, internet forum grammar is the last of my worries as i barely proofread at all (only multiple paragraphs). grammar Nazi's point out bad grammar because they have nothing else too discredit/attack their opponent with. So in my book your arguments have now have less validity. just like the 3 other people who have pointed out my 2 minor grammar mistakes. |

This is what I love about FOTLers: You rarely have to say anything to them, they gleefully dig their own graves and debunk themselves if you let them go on long enough.

I'll take that as a "no". The Dunning-Kruger effect has absolutely nothing to do with believing you "know it all". It has everything to do with being so incompetent in a particular subject that you actually believe you are above average in that subject. It also describes the tendency to dismiss competence in others. The fact that you so thoroughly misrepresent the FOTL movement itself—something you're actually defending and, therefore, should be expected to understand—tells me that you're awfully ignorant about this subject. |

Fine. You don't have to educate everyone. You don't have to explain why it works. You don't have to explain how it works. You don't have to explain its origins, its value, its nobility or anything else.
ALL WE WANT IS EVIDENCE THAT IT WORKS. Simply provide a documented example of someone saying the FMOTL words in a court of law and subsequently having the case dismissed. I've said it several times in this thread. The fastest way to get skeptics (including JREF skeptics) to shut up is provide reliable evidence. |

Well gee BK623 so the creation of the US is an example of your type of FOTL (whichever type that is)
So you are saying you are in rebellion against the US government (as the colonies were against the British) Is that correct? You do realize that the people in the new United States: Didn't individually consent (those who liked the King moved to Canada or New Orleans, etc) but after that no concept of individual 'consent' has ever been present in our political system. Congress started almost immediately to create statutes (gasp) Debts were paid What in the startup of the US do you see a reflection of your version of FOTL. Please explain |

It's not me who misrepresent the FOTL movement it is everyone here at JREF who does that, as i believe it has been dubbed something like Freeloaders on the land or whatever you guys call it.
Im still waiting for you guys too prove someone can not become free or sovereign. the only "real" issue is how its applied or done. many FOTL are trying too go about this the civil way in court (without the fighting aspect because we have already done that). however with the system (government/courts) being so far dis attached from its origins it has been shown very difficult to do. however this does not make it false/wrong or unattainable. |

It is not our job to prove that someone cannot become sovereign. It is your job to prove that someone actually used the correct FOTL words to avoid debts or prosecution. Please provide evidence in the form of documented court cases that were dismissed because of FOTL claims made in open court.
