I don't live in any particular country, and I'm no longer in the UK - and I can assure you I don't want or require any hand-holding.
Is John Harris another of your authority figures? I'm still waiting for you to offer a coherent argument for, or even a coherent statement of, your own position.
Look, futuretrader, watch the you tube video that i have posted about John Harris and his research.
And we'll talk some more.
And since you don't live in any particular country i'll take it you r pretty familiar with this stuff regardless.
My position should be obvious by now, I did start this thread as my point of view,
no need to confirm anything else.
The Federal Reserve System (also known as the Federal Reserve, and informally as the Fed) is the central banking system of the United States. It was created in 1913 with the enactment of the Federal Reserve Act,
DISCLAIMER: The following is strictly an opinion I have formed from my own research and reflects information I have obtained from a large number of sources. I have personally done nothing more extreme than creating a Gov. approved Nevada Corporation to conduct business with instead of conduction business in my own name.
*********************************************
The foundation of Personal Freedom is Secrecy. This Secrecy does not include “Failure to Report” that which is required by law to report. It only includes not reporting that which is not required by law to report. Therefore the most Personal Freedom is obtained by arranging your life to be without any legal requirement to report your activities. Easy to say, and not so easy to accomplish, eh? (grin)
The 5 Flags concept is the only effective and legal method of accomplishing ALMOST total Personal Freedom that I am aware of. BUT, I have not seen the proper implementation of this concept on-line. Ownership begets liability, and that is one of the keys to the success of this concept. When one has no ownership and no one knows who you are, one has no legal reporting requirements and any possible whistle blowers cannot report that you have any relationship to anything anywhere to the Gov. for a reward. Success can only come as a result of having control of the 5 Flags entities without ownership of any of them or their agents and functioning as an anonymous agent, both to all of them, and remaining anonymous to them during all transactions involving them. This can legally be done and there are businesses that support this arrangement.
This means that not even your wife/husband can know any of what is considered evidence of the details about this business arraignment. Any possible results of a divorce must be avoided. All communication must be done by encrypted email and/or phones and never include your real name or signature. I will leave it to your imagination as to how this can be accomplished, and I do believe it can be done.
True freedom can only come from not having your name on anything. No paper trail at all. Acceptable freedom can be obtained in spite of the birth certificate, and other records from your life, as long as you do nothing to trigger a lookup on these records. Conduct your life without signing contracts, applications and avoid being arrested or even accused of breaking a law, as a beginning.
Obviously this is not for everyone, and certainly not for me. However, 20 – 30 years ago I am quite certain I would have been more interested in doing something like this, but not now.
It is obvious that one of the keys to this Personal Freedom goal is secrecy. The reason the Gov. has so many reporting requirements is to kill the power that secrecy gives to it's volunteer slaves. Discover how to conduct business and life without reporting anything to anyone and you have discovered the key to freedom. It really is that simple.
Avoid the nonsense of claiming one is immune to and not under the jurisdiction of , or any other such nonsense as is found everywhere on-line. Going to court with any of that nonsense is giving up all secrecy and all of the power secrecy gives to you. To learn more about what does not work, go to Quatloos! • View forum - Sovereign Citizen and Redemption Scams

Since I am not going to provide a URL for any Personal Freedom site I might know of, here is what you should be looking for when you are doing your due diligence on this subject.
IMHO, Anyone interested in regaining the thing we call “Personal Freedom from all of the Gov. restrictions to that previous freedom we read about in the history books”, must be completely clear about the following basic concepts.
It is extremely important to ONLY work with people who understand what this "Personal Freedom business" is really all about. If they ask you for your name or other ID, just say goodbye.
There is a tendency for many people interested in pursuing the concept of getting back their personal freedom, to quickly become overwhelmed –mostly because they CANNOT find the information they really need... At least not without paying for it...
It is not because they are stupid. It is because the critical information simply isn’t where they look... Everybody on-line presents only some small bits and pieces of the truth, and it is not always the same truth, as they work from different scenarios, with different solutions... and about 90% of it is obviously just marketing BS and/or an outright SCAM.
NOBODY with a valid strategy in this Personal Freedom industry is so inept that they display in public exactly how their strategies work! And if they do, they don’t survive long. Web pages are also readily available for Gov. agents to check... As are ordinary e-mails... in fact, all e-mails originating from or arriving at a U.S. based server is scanned by the Gov.'s robots. Privacy only exists in the history books for most Americans.
Even though there are totally legal strategies that never do anything illegal, it is still outright stupid to tell the Gov. enemy what weapons are available and how they are to be used! David didn't tell Goliath about his slingshot, did he? And Gov.'s are quick to make new laws and new regulations that make it increasingly more difficult and tricky to avoid its all-encompassing control attempts. If you want your freedom, you have to accept this as a threat to that freedom and learn to conduct your life accordingly.
The really tricky question now becomes, "how does one do the due diligence, when one cannot even check out the people/business before one does business with them?"
Well, you CAN check on them – but you cannot do it in the traditional way by calling BBB or some Gov. supported consumer protection agency. They know NOTHING about foreign businesses... and those the Gov. does know about, are those you will avoid at all costs.
One must first discover what it takes to accomplish the goal and then question the knowledge of the entity who offers any likely solution for an acceptable result for that goal. And again, if you are asked for your name, just say goodbye. Do have an anonymous email address for further communication and possibly for doing business with them, without ever giving up your true ID.
Going 5 Flags means balancing on a very fine edge between taking full advantage of the law and avoidance of crossing the line to what your Gov. will perceive as crime – or at least attempt to nail you on it, as if it were a crime. Let it be no secret that your Gov. certainly does NOT want you to go 5 Flags and avoid the Taxes it would otherwise collect from you!
For that very reason, it wants EVERYTHING REGISTERED and declared– and there went your privacy and asset protection along with the freedom from Tax demands...!
It remains a fact of life that what is known to the Gov. is known also to anyone else who wants to get that knowledge. The Gov. is too big to keep secrets effectively – and it is the first in line to misuse and abuse the information it collects.
Just the fact that over 15% of all Americans have been subject to identity theft should speak for itself when it comes to assessing how "safe" your data in public registries actually is. That’ is exactly where the thieves get all of the information they need for identity theft!
Be clear about the fact that EVERYTHING you can legally do in your own country to maintain control over your belongings is more or less covered by the Gov.'s specifications behind the Tax return – and if you attempt to do anything outside of your country with those same procedures, you will simply end up in the Gov.'s trap! Going 5 Flags is NOT just a matter of moving one's transactions to another country. It is first and foremost a matter of totally changing the way you do business and live your life!
People who suggest that you "just start by setting up a bank account in a foreign country" or “they will set up a trust, and provide the trusty and the bank account” have no clue about the Gov's powers and no clue about U.S. Law... Avoid these people like the plague!
Avoid expatriation. It is unnecessary, and removes a lot of the power of secrecy.
So, be careful about whom you contract to help you in this arena.
Gab, I get that you will be interested in this gal's view of freedom.
Let's play a game called My Kick-Ass Life!
Imagine that you woke up this morning from a luscious slumber and felt totally stoked about all the cool things that you get to do. Matter of fact, this week is full of awesomeness and you can't wait to jump into your day and get started!
What would you have for breakfast?
Who would you be excited to see?
What are you most looking forward to doing?
You head to work knowing that you will be spending your time totally engrossed in your work, and surrounded by people who are excited by what you bring to the table. You know this is what your meant to be doing....no doubt about it.
How would knowing this feel?
Time flies by, and next thing you know it's time to wrap things up and head out for some fun! You hook up with your peeps and have a blast doing what you do best! It feels good to let your freak flag fly and be yourself!
What would this look like for you?
Your life ROCKS and you're so freaking glad that you decided to take the time, and do the work necessary to break free of that soul sucking pre-packaged life that you were living! Man, that way of life sucked it hard and you feel so
Your life ROCKS and you're so freaking glad that you decided to take the time to do the work necessary to break free of that soul sucking pre-packaged life that you were living!
Man, that way of life sucked it hard and you feel so relieved not to wake up dreading having to go to a crappy job and doing things you don't really care about.

My key to this lifestyle/outlook has been a 1917 book "The Master Key System" by Charles Haanel. Available from Amazon or as a free eBook from whitedovebooks in the UK as well as other sources.
I have found that living in the now by the MKS makes the sovereign issue a non-issue to me. Try it, you might like it. (grin)
And for the other traders reading this, I believe the MKS would make a positive difference in your trading, as well as everything else in your life. That is MHO and each of you must form your own opinion for yourself.
When a trader can live in the now, the last trade does not exist, the P/L does not exist, the only thing real is what the bar is telling him/her. Think about that for a few moments... No fear of previous losses, and no greed for a future profit, the only thing in the conscious mind is the reality of what is happening NOW. Tough to do, and I know all of us can do it. (lol)

OBTW - I do scalp NQ for about 2 hrs each Mon, Tues and Wed with a 4 day weekend each week, and I do not remember the last time I had a losing day. I totally fly my freak flag during the first 10 - 15 minutes, blink thinking off of a 20 second chart, then I scalp off the one min. chart setups ASAP, using 20 sec. chart for entry/exit, while also watching the 3 min chart for an overall view until the NY lunch hr kicks in and it goes flat, or I feel like I have had enough of a good thing, eh? (grin) To each his own, and that is my own thing to do, eh?
In closing, it occurs to me to say the I am on this site in search of at least one trader/scalper who thinks like I do to share our insights with each other. I use a my own swing lines with too many labels and a couple of ema's for reference. I like the KISS method. I can display fibs and support/resistance near the current price with onchart mouse clicks. I am a javascript junky with my eSignal charts, don't you know, and I like clean looking bar patterns most of the time. And I like to look inside of those bars and see what is going on there, too. (grin)
L8trs....
While I understand the enthusiasm for escaping the “system”, let’s look at what actually happens (from a tax standpoint) to “Sovereigns” in the United States.
What follows is directly from the document.
I have placed what I think to be important lines in bold and underlined.
-------------------------
-------------------------
In many cases, (shown in section C.1 - Relevant Case Law) the court seems to have imposed a monetary penalty in the $5000 dollar range for the “frivolous” arguments.
I spent a chunk of my precious time researching this tonight. I hope that the credible information I've presented helps to save you from wasting any more of your time on the sovereign movement.
