State has outsourced production of money

We are to have a constitutional convention where 66 randomly selected members of the public will work with 33 politicians to redraft our constitution. What a fantastic opportunity.

I wonder will they make some distinctions clear for the rest of us. Like that the State is not the land and that the laws of the State are not the laws of the land.

For so very long our elected representatives have been free to introduce any and many varied ways of raising revenue for the State.

From television licences to household charges, all are levied with the added threat that they are the law of the land. They are not.

The law of the land is the common law and it states that a crime is only ever committed when a party is injured (assault, rape, murder, etc.) or property is violated (theft, fraud, arson, etc.) Outside of that no “crime” is punishable under common law. Also common law trumps State law.

Yet statute (or State) law has thousands of “crimes”, like many of the aforementioned levies and taxes, etc. The question to be asked is why do the elected representatives have to levy all these new and innovative taxes and bills? Well, it is to pay off unpayable debt and inflation to the banking model.

You see the State has outsourced the production of money to private banks, a job that they could so easily do themselves.

The delicious irony for us is that this banking model violates our individual common law rights daily.
