So with no taxes, how will we fund this utopia?

Look, regardless of how legit their cause is, while the military is still backing the current gov't, they have no shot to even think about replacing the gov't.
Wrong.
The military doesn't back any one President, Congress or party. The military is only sworn protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. Period.
If anyone wants to change the constitution they have to amend it via the process the Constitution provides, not by a bunch of self-appointed yahoos.
They can parade around in their tinfoil hats all day, and appoint themselves Admirals of the Turkish Navy for all I care, but that don't make it so.

Print the money, and have it be backed by a basket of real world goods and labor - instead of borrowing the money from a private bank at interest that we are in debt to.
I have yet to see this man (almost 20 minutes through) slip up on anything yet.

It is a complicated issue, I recommend watching the documentary "The Money Masters".
But everything else he says is dead on - most people at ATS would agree with him for the most part
except for his fundamentalist religious views but we have always had christian presidents. It is a small detraction from an overwhelmingly positive situation if it can be put into action and implemented.edit on 23-2-2011 by beebs because: (no reason given)

Thanks but I do not think you are really getting the question here. We can discuss how money is money and what makes it worth anything and how our government prints it until the cows come home. That does not explain even a little how Tim Turner is going to pay policemen to patrol streets if he is not taking in any funds in order to pay them with. That does nothing to explain how he is going to have money to pay for roads without taking money in from people that use roads. Get it?
Um...didn't he say he is the president of the USA? He was not even one of the choices on my ballot so how the hell is that even remotely NOT CRAZY? You really think most ATSers agree Tim Turner is president? You really think most people on ATS believe he has free energy for us? Really?
I am having a really hard time finding the postive part in someone declaring themeslf president of the US. The entire concept is antithetical unto itself.
If my only options are your word or a youtube video someone just decided to make...I might as well go with your word. In order for his claims (that he is POTUS) to be "legally correct" then you can tell me what court has recognized it as so.

Yes, I totally understand your point.. How did Lincoln pay for his army? He printed greenbacks. They worked as money because the president said so.
And anyways, this Turner guy has said that he has funding and gold. Dunno if I believe him at this point... but I am just being consistent with the video in the OP.
He said he is currently presiding over the only legal, de jure established government in this country.
The government you think is the government is just a corporation parading as a government - de facto and not legally chartered by the constitution.
This is all in the legalese specifics which the video explains a bit, but which I am familiar with from other sources.
I think most ATS'ers would rather have him for president than Bush or Obama or Clinton, etc. because he understands what he is talking about. Did you not notice how every single problem he has a clear and concise answer for? The only problem, like I said, is his fundamentalism and intense stance on the war on drugs. But he is comparable to Ron Paul - only Ron Paul doesn't talk about infrastructure, organic food, and suppressed technology.
Of course this sounds crazy to you, you have no reason to believe it is plausible. Just because you voted, doesn't mean your vote was as a sovereign member of the United States. In fact, that is the entire point. As a U.S. citizen, you are agreeing to be part of the illegal corporation that has paraded as the de jure government.
This group of people have taken it upon themselves to re-establish the de jure Republic of the united States - so that when the illegal federal reserve cartel implodes, they will be ready to take over.
Pretty intriguing concept, all done peacefully through using the hidden mechanisms of the black hole that is law and legalese.
I have my reasons to believe it is plausible (not that it is going to work) because I have done a bit of research into this area - it isn't a new phenomenon.
Did you watch the entire video?

You don't know your rear end from a hole in the ground.
Oath of office for an officer in the US Navy:
"I, (name), do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
POTUS is only commander in chief so long as his or her orders are lawful under the Constitution.
The UCMJ not only allows the military to refuse unlawful orders, it mandates it.
