Undocumented Sovereign Americans
Sam Aurelius Milam III

During
my years of study, I've learned some important lessons. One such
lesson is that a person shouldn't complain about a police state if he voluntarily
cooperates with it.

participation equals endorsement.

Milam's Notes |
Compare
that to the smug drivel that the authorities like to promote: "If
you don't vote, then don't complain." What nonsense. If you
do
vote, then don't complain. You agreed in advance to the consequences
when you voluntarily registered as a voter. Refusing to register
as a voter is one of the prerequisites of having a legitimate right to
complain.
Of
course, the determination that behavior is voluntary isn't as simple as
it might seem. A man will voluntarily jump from the top of a building,
if the building is burning under him. You don't have to push him.
He'll "choose" to do it. That doesn't mean that he wants to do it
and it doesn't mean that it's voluntary.
In
early 1972, I "chose" to join the Naval Reserve. The only alternatives
were to escape to Canada, to stay in the United States as a criminal, or
to be drafted. Today, I might do things differently. In 1972,
and in accordance with my brainwashing, I joined the Naval Reserve.
The point is that any possible good alternatives had been eliminated before
I ever had an opportunity to make my choice. I was constrained by
the police state to select from only alternatives that were undesirable.
The result was to compel me to "voluntarily" make the choice that the authorities
wanted me to make. I was occasionally reminded, during my subsequent
"tour of duty", that I shouldn't complain about my situation because I'd
"volunteered".
Today,
more than 40 years later, there isn't any improvement. Here's an
excerpt from the little Selective Service System brochure that you can
get at the Post Office.
| What Happens If I Don't Register?
Not
registering is a felony. Young men prosecuted and convicted of failure
to register may be fined up to $250,000, imprisoned for up to five years,
or both. Failure to register also may cause men to permanently lose
eligibility for student financial aid, government employment, job training,
and U.S. citizenship for male immigrants.

Registration
for the draft is as good an example as any other. Refusal to cooperate
will be punished. Cooperation, even when it's coerced, will be construed
as voluntary.
I
demonstrated in my essay The
Long and Winding Doctrine: Social Contract, available on
Pharos,
that the legitimate boundaries of lawful government are not geographical.
They are contractual. Thus, we're within the jurisdiction not because
of where we live but because of how we live. We apply for driver's
licenses, marriage licenses, building permits, and business licenses.
We register to vote. Such actions, and others, create obligations
to the jurisdiction of the police state. Our obligations are proved
by the records that we create, the licenses that we hold, the permits that
we have received, and the applications that we've submitted. Even
citizenship invokes the jurisdiction.
| All
persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United States....
—Constitution for the United States of
America
Amendment 14, clause 1 |
To
escape from the jurisdiction, to become sovereigns, we must divest ourselves
of such obligations by becoming undocumented. I suggest the little
essay
Those
Chains That Bind You!. It's available in The Sovereign's
Library.
Another
lesson that I learned is that before a person can become undocumented,
he must position himself. That is, he must rearrange his life so
that it's possible for him to survive without the documentation.
That's true because
