    I don't think most people have a full understanding of what he said about government being a corporation. After the (un)Civil War, the Reconstruction Acts actually incorporated the government. The concept of governing went to the ways side, and so started the long, downward spiral to where we are right now; government as a for profit business. The problem is that they can offer no good or service that has not already been taken from another. Less than twenty years after incorporation, we got the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, which is what allowed the gov. to get its fingers in on everything in the whole country just because they thought it was necessary to "regulate" trade.
    Twenty-five years later, the bankers walked in and officially took the reigns of the country when the Federal Reserve was created, and the fraud of the 16th Amendment and the income tax was forced on the people. The Trading with the Enemy Act in 1933 is also an important part of this history of the stealing of American sovereignty, that one should research as well. The stealing of peoples wealth in exchange for paper under the rule of a tyrant(FDR), and such became the precedent that the "collective" had superiority over the individual. Then the New Deal, which at the time in many circles was probably more unpopular than Obamacare, was inflicted on us, and tied us to the debt of other countries. For example, many people think that Social Security is an American institution. This is wrong. It actually was encourage first by English Royalty, and as of the last time I was on the SS site they were proudly waving the flags of all the countries that were bound together in SS.
    This all ties back into the corporate entity known as UNITED STATES INC.

      That connects in to what I said about the Fed the other day. We are the surety on the largest loan in the world. Our Birth Certificates and SS #'s are used in the tracking of "human resources" for the purpose of determining how much "money" said corporate entity can borrow in our name, on the promise of our labor; income taxes to pay the interest on a debt that can never be repaid. We are signed over by our parents into a contract with a system without our consent. Similar when a couple gets a "marriage license", they are making a contract between them and the state; which now has a vested interest in the outcome of said relationship(children). Interestingly enough, marriage licenses were first only issued in cases of inter-racial marriages, and over time was expanded to everybody. That is also where the idea for weapons permits first were used, for the registering of blacks who wanted to protect themselves; again, eventually expanded to everyone. What this is a sign of to me is that, when on deals with the government on any level at all, you risk surrender of your rights for privileges. American sold its chickens to the bankers for a ration of eggs.
      One hundred years later, and it is well past time to put the Federal Reserve, in its proper place; in a history museum of failed ideas.

    Very good arguments. During his interview, Russell Brand stuck me as being an incredibly passionate moron. This guy seems much more reasonable and much more intelligent.
