They're setting up their own weird little theocratic government out there. Is anybody planning to stop them?
Videos posted online show the scofflaw ranchers supporters explaining their ideologies in lengthy lectures, such as one posted earlier this month that shows private attorney general Jeff Ball explaining that laws dont apply to individuals if they understand how to rebut them.
I want to give you guys the basic chain of command, all right? said Ball, of the Citizens Action Network. Up at the top of this tree is the creator, whoever your creator is, thats where the creators at. The one below that is you, okay? So your original contract was with the creator.
The earth is our inheritance, OK, but what these guys are trying to do is third-party their way into it, Ball said. So heres how they want you to believe the chain of command goes: God, the Vatican, Washington, D.C., the city of London.
Ball claimed London controlled the worlds finances, while Washington created war and kept slaves in line by taxing them to death, and he argued that the Vatican interfered with an individuals contract with the creator.
You guys have a contract with the creator and this earth is your inheritance, he said. Thats it; there is no more. Youre not subject to anybody, as long as you dont hurt anybody. If you create injury on somebody, then thats a different story.

As to Rome, the hate of papist is old, 500 years old.

They want a second Revolution to put things right "again".

There is no such thing as a social contract, as a person cannot outsource its sovereignity to a common social construct. A person's contract of liability is directly with God and each other.
-> Governments are bogus.
II.
So when that governor, that sheriff, doesnt do his job ...
-> Government's representatives have authority.
So, which one is it?
