“The complexity which has grown in the transition from republic to empire (even while maintaining the precarious forms of tradition), gives the US more and more the complexion of Rome, but with unique features of a global hi-tech version.”

Rome was considered global and hi-tech in its own day.

AN UPDATE ON MR. KNAEBEL
I was with Jeff in Delhi when he did this, and have news on what happened next. The police agreed with his declaration, applauded his “action that followed belief,” and let him go, stating that he could now wander freely throughout India without papers. The next day, he went back to “get that in writing,” though they said that wouldn’t happen, they’d gladly help him if he ever got in trouble. I called the embassy, and they were unconcerned, as was the Inidan office of foreign affairs, similar to the Imigration Dept. in the U.S. Later that evening, we was interviewed for the evening news on TotalTV in Delhi. He is now writing and directing a couple of websites that further his ideas. See the video clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSeLVebtCds – I’ll gladly answer any questions directly at admin@freeofstate.org

I know of Jeff via his articles on lewrockwell.com He writes some pretty good stuff, and of course I am 100% behind anyone with the balls and determination to renounce their submitizen slavery-ship.

I’m not really down with all the Kumbaya B.S. though.

Wow.

But why do it in Asia?

A birth certificate is a bill of sale? Where can I find more information on this line of reasoning?

In 1492, Chemor, chief Rabbi of Spain, wrote to the Grand Sanhedrin, which had its seat in Constantinople, for advice, when a Spanish law threatened expulsion.2 This was the reply:

” Beloved brethren in Moses, we have received your letter in which you tell us of the anxieties and misfortunes which you are enduring. We are pierced by as great pain to hear it as yourselves.

The advice of the Grand Satraps and Rabbis is the following:

1. As for what you say that the King of Spain obliges you to become Christians: do it, since you cannot do otherwise.

2. As for what you say about the command to despoil you of your property: make your sons merchants that they may despoil, little by little, the Christians of theirs.

3. As for what you say about making attempts on your lives: make your sons doctors and apothecaries, that they may take away Christians’ lives.

4. As for what you say of their destroying your synagogues: make your sons canons and clerics in order that they may destroy their churches. [Emphasis mine]

5. As for the many other vexations you complain of: arrange that your sons become advocates and lawyers, and see that they always mix in affairs of State, that by putting Christians under your yoke you may dominate the world and be avenged on them.

6. Do not swerve from this order that we give you, because you will find by experience that, humiliated as you are, you will reach the actuality of power.

(Signed) PRINCE OF THE JEWS OF CONSTANTINOPLE.”

2. The reply is found in the sixteenth century Spanish book, La Silva Curiosa, by Julio-Iniguez de Medrano (Paris, Orry, 1608), on pages 156 and 157, with the following explanation: “This letter following was found in the archives of Toledo by the Hermit of Salamanca, (while) searching the ancient records of the kingdoms of Spain; and, as it is expressive and remarkable, I wish to write it here.” — vide, photostat facing page 80.

~ The above was quoted from Waters Flowing Eastward by Paquita de Shishmareff, pp. 73-74

At least someone has a conscience and a spark of humanity. Hate it and leave it.

you can download the forms and do this on us soil as well.

they of course tell you that you must renounce elsewhere, but this is bullshit.

you can do it at home. just requires notarized documents that then get sent to the U.S. Dept. of Snakes for their filing.

and then you’re FREE!
