Great points once again my brother...
The most entertaining aspect (another bad analogy) to this entire debacle is that we DO have the leverage to take back what is rightfully ours.
And that leverage is us, we thee people.
Contrary to popular myth, the entire US money supply is backed by something.
It is not completely worthless fiat currency like everyone believes...
It is backed by tax dollars that are the gain of the sweat and labor of The US American Worker Bee.
It's called the first 13 Amendments to the US Constitution.
Oh yeah.... And repeal every signing statement from the time of Abe Lincoln, who first declared martial law in 1863, and we have been living in that same state ever since.
(tell me peanut gallery, did you know we have two flags in America: one for peace and one for war. Link to explanations and examples. When is the last time you even heard that we flew a different flag when we were not at war? Because the horizontal stars and bars is a WARTIME flag only, and it is consequently the only US flag, other than the admiralty flag, that we have ever known. Seems to me like we have been at WAR since, well, at least since my birth)

As for registering, NO, you RECORD it into the public record that YOU are the controlling party to the property and that it IS private property and not public property. Recording is the correct legal function. Again, when you register anything you transfer control of it and transfer the rights to it to the agency you are registering it with. That is a fact.
Saudis mobilise thousands of troops to quell growing revolt
Although desperate to avoid any outside news of the extent of the protests spreading, Saudi security officials have known for more than a month that the revolt of Shia Muslims in the tiny island of Bahrain was expected to spread to Saudi Arabia. Within the Saudi kingdom, thousands of emails and Facebook messages have encouraged Saudi Sunni Muslims to join the planned demonstrations across the "conservative" and highly corrupt kingdom. They suggest – and this idea is clearly co-ordinated – that during confrontations with armed police or the army next Friday, Saudi women should be placed among the front ranks of the protesters to dissuade the Saudi security forces from opening fire. If the Saudi royal family decides to use maximum violence against demonstrators, US President Barack Obama will be confronted by one of the most sensitive Middle East decisions of his administration.

Let's cross our fingers if this works, staging a massive anti-government protest and putting the women up front, does lead to the government forces firing on them, we will have finally figured out a way to get rid of our wives!

We own nothing daddio. Your friend imaginaryreality1984 needs to understand the difference between a title and a certificate of title.
And this can be answered by one simple question. If we own things outright, then why do we have to pay taxes on the things that we OWN?
Hmmmmm.......
Because we do not own them. We more or less are allowed the privileges of ownership while being a tenant.
This includes our house, our car, our boat, hell anything of real value.
We were meant to be an ownership society and ironically enough this was all due to a hard fought battle with Alexander "the bastard" Hamilton. (who died at the hand of Aaron Burr in a duel over the role of the national bank in this new country).
At one time, we (as in citizens) owned what we possessed. We did not pay taxes on it, and the money for state projects came from state taxes, whereas the money for Federal projects came from tariffs and corporate income taxes only. NONE WAS FROM TAXING THE CITIZEN'S PERSONAL PROPERTY OR INCOME.
But you see.... All of this changed when towns began to incorporate and use their combined credit to leverage loans, or "bonds" as they are called, in order to finance the town's budget.
This was a ridiculous move because it allowed the townships to spend more than they brought in, which leads to eventual bankruptcy.
Before that, no one spent more than was collected in taxes and the only national debt that we had was due to war.
We are a straight up socialist state. You own NOTHING. Look at your title for your house, you are listed as as tenant and not an owner.
The bank/government own the house and always will.
That is why we pay so many ridiculous taxes. We have to pay it or we lose it.
Taxes are currently more like a "borrowing" fee.

It would be nice if protestors actually had a plan, but alas my friend all they really have is an idea, and an abstract one at best.
To give you a notion of whats the difference between an idea and a plan, let's look at that fun game the Powers that Be use the U.S. Military for called "Regime Change".
It starts out with a lot of intelligence on the ground and indentifies things like where are the resources, you will need those to feed and sustain a popultion so identifying where they are is a really big element, where are the government buildings and ministries, these are the building blocks of the society, getting their people out and your people in is essential. What does the grid look like, you need a good map so you can mark all these things and devise routes to gain control of them efficiently, where are the broadcast centers, radio, tv, cellular phone, internet etc, where are the power stations and substations, where are emergency fuel and grain supplies.
You are going to want to figure out how many people you need to control these things, and yes, you really are going to want people who know how to run an electrical grid taking over the power station and people who know how to run a cellular grid taking over the phone companies, ect. etc.
You of course are going to want suitable transportation to both take these over and for key personnel to get around back and forth once they have.
You are going to want a hierarchy of a clear chain of command and secure communications so they can converse back and forth with one another on progress and then to run the show when you take over.
Ideally you have written some kind of constitution or plan for government that you can post on every telephone and light pole and public building etc.
Your going to need some cash, well lot's of cash to pay people and bribe people to get it all up and running.
You need to have some very identifiable leaders to both run it and put a face to it all.
That's more or less a plan.
The War Department would spend months to years formulating and mapping out such a plan and pulling all the elements together and then staging them.
Going down to the square to carry placards and signs and sing and make chants is more or less an idea.
A very general idea, that is designed to rid the people of something at best, but not to create any real viable substitute at all.
Hence you have Martial Law now under a pretty guise of a military dictatorship and if you want to say that's an accidental or unforseen byproduct then what you are basically saying is the planning on the part of the people SUCKED!
Now when it comes to real planning, the kind our military does lets throw in another real portion of their plans, get the people to protest and agitate, and cause chaos and make the government spend precious time and resources dealing with them!
Get them ideally to want what you want, or at least enough of them to stick on CNN to sell that to the American people and now you can justify a take over with your very real plan, because the people who you tricked and manipulated into protesting and putting pressure on the government that both they and you want to get rid of had no plan to sieze control and run the country at all.
In part because you helped make sure there never was a plan developed by them by infecting their conversations with propaganda and bots, and told them they didn't really need a plan, just to go out and do what's convenient for you to your plan!
What would be a bad idea is yet more nations following this disastrous blueprint by making up pie in the sky stories about how great and noble it is to throw a great big monkey wrench into the existing order, without any plan at all for a new order, and order period.
It is what it is, and bottom line, without planning, leaders, coordination, chains of command, clear objectives, ones that put you in control of the renewable resources that sustain a urban population you haven't won anything but 10 seconds of fame on CNN.
It really is simple, and if you need fairy tales to summon the courage to do something equally ill thought out, you will end up with the same or worse bad results.
Pretty simple.
Historical suppression of unions detonated explosive events in summer 1987, when Koreans won democracy after almost a decade of struggle. Union membership soared. So did industrial disputes: between July and September, over 3,000 conflicts occurred, exceeding the total number in the previous two decades. Some were spectacular: Seoul deployed helicopters, landing craft and more riot policemen to break up a strike at Hyundai than the British government had used soldiers to recapture the Falkland Islands. Wages soared across industries. The early-mid 1990s were the heyday of union activism; a general strike in 1997 forced the Kim Young-sam administration to back down from changes to labor laws. But in 1998, with the specter of mass layoffs hovering due to the Asian economic crisis, a Tripartite Commission, formed of representatives of government, management and labor was formed to mediate industrial disputes.
Just to play devil's advocate, I understand that we are assuming that they do not have a plan.
You are correct in that and....
You are right that this is speculation beyond the data and based upon correlations only, but tell me.....
Tell me ONE other time in the HISTORY of HISTORY that the people have actually succeeded in a revolution followed by a plan (do not try to play the American and French Revolutions.... Look how they turned out. That is a completely different argument)
Revolutions are never TRUE REVOLUTIONS, but reactions, which are normally provoked in order to bring in the new ruling aristocracy that bows down to the corporate wishes of the international banksters.
Name HOW MANY COUNTRIES HAVE NATIONAL BANKS TIED TO THE BIS.
Name THE COUNTRIES IN THE US DOMINATED UN.
This is a consolidation. I am inspired by your optimism, but history tells me that this is yet another in a series of the same. Ordo ab Chao.
