Here is the only reason you need to know this is not anything to honestly consider. The FBI classifies them as domestic terrorists. Let me put that into ATS-centric terms. Those hyperbolic fears some folks have, about Big Brother coming, arresting them without warrant, and taking them off to some Arab prison to be tortured and have zero legal recourse?
The Whiskey Rebellion, or Whiskey Insurrection, was a tax protest in the United States beginning in 1791, during the presidency of George Washington. Farmers who used their leftover grain and corn in the form of whiskey as a medium of exchange were forced to pay a new tax. The tax was a part of treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton's program to increase central government power, in particular to fund his policy of assuming the war debt of those states which had failed to pay. The farmers who resisted, many war veterans, contended that they were fighting for the principles of the American Revolution, in particular against taxation without local representation, while the Federal government maintained the taxes were the legal expression of the taxation powers of Congress.
The President, Directors and Company, of the Bank of the United States, commonly known as the First Bank of the United States, was a central bank, chartered for a term of twenty years, by the United States Congress on February 25, 1791. Establishment of the Bank was included in a three-part expansion of federal fiscal and monetary power (along with a federal mint and excise taxes) championed by Alexander Hamilton, first Secretary of the Treasury. Hamilton believed a central bank was necessary to stabilize and improve the nation's credit, and to improve handling of the financial business of the United States government under the newly enacted Constitution.
It's called "the social contract," and every society has one. If you do not like the one your society is founded on, you are free to seek out a society that is more to your liking.

May I quote "real court" may I also ask what is a real court ?
In the United States, any Municipal, County, State or Federal court is empowered by the United States Constitution. That makes them de jure courts. Since they have not only the right but the ability to throw your sorry behind in jail, that makes them de facto courts as well.

Well, I have to say this thread and its subject has been a real eye opener!
First of all I've seen british judges arrested using these laws, GO LOOK ON YOUTUBE PEOPLE. Thats assuming they havent removed the vids. I even watched one judge arrest HIMSELF when it was explained to him how he was braking the law by enforcing illegal CORPORATE law.
I've watched Police (UK) back down when faced with REAL COMMON LAW.
OP, like others on here I think you have and agenda.
To the site owners.
I wont be back, other than to see how this thread is dealt with. And you can rest assured I will be spreading the word. ATS has revealed what it truly is and to all of you who decide to stay I suggest you look closely at who is saying what in this thread and remember them.

IMHO, I think that's a huge reason the subject is of interest to many folk, myself included (albeit from a purely philosophical/intellectual view)
Yes, there are nutjobs in this movement that gun cops gown on the side of the highway, perhaps even a higer statistical representation of nutjobs than in the general population.
BUT the FBI/SPLC also claim Tea Partiers, Ron Paul supporters, veterans, and constitutionalists/libertarians as 'potential domestic terrorists' as well. So the question in my mind is: why the sovereigns?
Doesn't make much sense to me either way I slice it...either they are on to something (which I don't believe), or they will inevitably land themselves in the crowbar hotel (which is where I want them if I'm fed.gov).
So, why the branding of domestic terrorism? It just doesn't grok...
Then were do you go if you want to be free? Since basically all land possible to live of is "lawfully" claimed by some nation?
I don't see the other animals go about respecting some lines drawn in sand
If someone doesn't want to have the benefits, social security and what not but will by self-responsibility earn cash or other acceptable means of payment to pay for medicine or other necessities when needed.
And before someone goes to tell me I can go live in the woods, that is not the modern world,

curious question ...
you keep signaling the need for a Constitutional Convention and i'm wondering WHY ?
the only thing a CC can do is Ammend the existing document.
how would that change the claim of the sovereigns ?
and, if you would, please explain which part of the current Constitution changed our status as 'sovereign States'.

I think that they went a little tad bit too far with the Veterans, they served our nation and should be held to that standard, ie: we should care for them as the heroes they are, not how we do treat them in reality.
However, when you look (well you may not be able to it was an internal memo) at the definitions of the groups you mentioned, it actually states, Sovereign's within those movements, not just the movements themselves, as simply supporting a political candidate is legal, as are rallies and demonstrations for said. The problem a few years ago was that the Sovereign movement began to become very vocal within all of the above (sans veterans, I know many that really think this is disrespectful) and therefore tainted the other movements with their rhetoric and violent tendencies. It's a catch all, and it really needs to be looked at, granted, but it's really hard to go after every injustice at every second of every day. So in the end, people in charge just blanket things, something i've never agreed with.
