In the tradition of classical podcasting, "Behind Enemy Lines" is a series brought
to you from the Team of Outpost of Freedom Radio. Beginning with a question on
a relevant subject between two patriots, the conversation becomes serendipitous,
as the discussion continues in an informal conversational style. Behind Enemy Lines
is a more naturally flowing discussion regarding topics of interest to the Patriot
Community.
As the oppression of government tyranny becomes exacerbated, people
become curious as to what options exist for them in order to restore
their liberty. Disobeying unjust laws was proposed before the Civil War,
but mere noncompliance with arbitrary commands and demands might not be
enough anymore. Would it not be fair to say that the time has come for
us to move to in more bravely asserting our rights in open defiance of
the tyrants who claim the right to rule us?

A recurring accusation over time has been that the United States Constitution was
conspiratorially debated behind closed doors and then foisted on the People. Examining
the ratification period of the late 1780s tells quite a different story, one that
reveals how the early American republic was formally established.
Referenced literature includes:
Some patriots like to repeat the claim that the national government is a
shadowy mega-corporation. They usually combine this with other assertions
that their legal name, when all the letters are capitalized, is evidence of
being treated as chattel property, or that the fringes on the U.S. flag is
proof that we have been conquered by foreign merchants. Seldom do they
provide actual evidence for these claims, not to mention the proof that
directly contradicts their claims.

Patriot mythology, simply defined, is the collection of unprovable or debunked
assertions concerning the nature of our political relationship with the governments.
Although a few of them originally began as simple misunderstandings that were eventually
corrected, the majority of this stories appeal to the sensationalistic appetites
of those who would prefer to financially profit from spreading such folklore rather
than restoring constitutional government, or simply perpetuate the error, through
lack of understanding. These will be addressed in this series of podcasts.

There is little doubt, in the minds of all true patriots, that we are on a downhill
slide that could eventually result in the demise of the United States, at least
as we know and love it. "Taking the Initiative to Restore Our Government" discusses
what can be done, now, to begin the process of retaining and restoring that government
given to their posterity, us, by those who envisioned a country of liberty and
freedom. This episode will discuss, from justification to action, the necessary
beginnings of that process. Referenced literature includes:
Many constitutionalists do not know that there are two classes of American citizenship, namely, federal and state, that has been
recognized by the common law. Oddly enough, the federal government admitted in 1936 that the United States Supreme Court will stubbornly
avoid ruling on the constitutionality of any matter brought before them if they can find any way whatsoever to do so; and, in 1946, the United
States Congress unconstitutionally created a FOURTH branch of government, that is, the administrative branch. Unfortunately, the legal
status of United States federal citizenship has been used as a key tool of oppression, by the Congress and their Administrative Agencies, to
incrementally subvert your liberty and replace it with a dictatorial empire, which seeks to coercively impose a new dark age upon all of mankind.

After comprehending the nature of the American Leviathan, it becomes pertinent for us to develop whatever tactics and strategies we can
muster to confront and defeat it as peacefully as is humanly possible. Claiming our inalienable rights by filing legal documents or litigating
our own cases in court are two ways that can be used to increase our personal liberty, but perhaps the most important idea to realize is that
state citizenship, more so than its utilitarian applications, lies in its value of moving patriots along the other (not so) thin line towards
a state of nature. Some topics mentioned are the freedoms to travel and contract, the evils of licensure, the American Bar Association's
monopoly on the practice of law, and how to formally declare your recognition of state citizenship. Referenced literature includes:
Despotic governments imprison their own people without just cause.
Historically, the English common law sought to remedy that by providing a
way for the citizenry to challenge the lawfulness of the detention itself.
Unfortunately, trying to do so nowadays is causing many of us to reevaluate
the lawfulness of the United States government itself. Some topics mentioned
were Larry Myers, the 14th Amendment, the Ashwander Doctrine, state
citizenship, and the nature of the Administrative Agencies. Referenced
literature include:
A popular trend amongst dissidents is to record police encounters with a video
camera and then upload it to the Internet for everyone to watch. The same as been
done with politicians, with the ostensible goal being that it will provide transparency
and accountability in government. Simultaneously, some of these government agents
claim they uphold the constitutional limits upon government, yet a conceptual analysis
puts this assertion into serious question. Might it be the case that reformists
are grasping at straws so they can persuade others to “work within the system,” or
would it be more accurate to say that some political activists refuse to take individual
responsibility for their own actions by preferring one type of government agent
to protect them against another type of government agent?
Some topics mentioned are copblocking, the technique of "confronting" politicians,
dissident consumerism, John Bad Elk, civil asset forfeiture, Waco, state nullification,
the Texas Constitution, disobeying unlawful orders, and security teams.
Understanding the multifaceted nature of the surveillance grid does beg
the question of how anyone can begin to deal with it. Mitigating its
effects upon your life, while an essential starting point, is not going
to take Big Brother down. Ironically enough, what it is going to require
is you that you cede some of your privacy in order to organize and
associate with like-minded individuals for mutual defense and protection.
Some topics mentioned were face-to-face meetings, selective
disinformation, cryptography, disguise, and keeping your own counsel.
As the cancer of Big Government grows, so does the tumor of Big
Business. Both are emblematic of corporatism, which seeks to profit at
the expense of both your liberty and your property. A key control
mechanism to make this happen is the surveillance police state apparatus
that is used to keep the citizenry as predictable as possible, for those
who are reliably predictable are also easily controllable.
Some topics mentioned were the 4th Amendment, urbanization, Anonymous,
invasive government and corporate databases, legal identity, and
conflict with the freedom of the press.
Within the alternative media, there seems to be a tendency to draw
premature conclusions. Unfortunately, most of the Patriot Community
has succumbed to what has amounted to little other than popularity
contests, where they assume that anybody who rejects the false dichotomy
of "you're either with us, or with the enemy rebel government" (especially
with regards to differing explanations of suspiciously violent events),
allegedly "must be a government agent," or otherwise undesirable individuals.
The remedy to this problem is also discussed.
Topics covered include infighting, Waco, the Carnival of Distractions, skepticism,
Vortex, the Murrah
bombing, Conspiratainment (Conspiracy Entertainment), and false flag operations.
There are a lot of misunderstandings when it comes to property rights.
Where does one man's freedom of movement impose upon another man's castle?
Exploring this critical topic is essential for determining how exactly we
should all treat each other for the purpose of respecting property itself,
which is simply a consequence of having the liberty and life to justly acquire,
maintain, and improve those portions of the natural world all around us.
Some topics broached are the foreigners scampering across the southern border,
the right to travel, trespass, land surveying, the homesteading principle, and
the tragedy of the commons.
Conditioning is a process of using real life activity to socially engineer society
about how they should act when the same thing they just witnessed occurs again.
By contrast, predictive programming uses fictional hypothetical role-playing scenarios
in order to shape the audience about how they should act if they were in a given
situation.
Topics mentioned are COPS TV show, Disney films, Waco, officer safety, crazy gunmen,
the Hegelian Dialectic, and Sandy Hook. False flag events are also discussed.
What was the significance of Colonel Travis drawing a line in the sand at the
Alamo with his saber? Is it possible to know ahead of time what abuses of government
you will and will not tolerate? Are public pronouncements only an expression
of bravado and is it quite possible that the line in the sand concept is just
a fabrication?
Some topics that were broached, during this very diverse conversation,
were the viability of street protests, sensationalistic civil disobedience,
people who have taken an oath and claim they will keep it, militia mutual defense
pacts, the 2012 presidential campaign, Sandy Hook, and the Free State Project.
