“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”
[Hosea 4:6, Bible, NKJV]
“That it does not conflict with the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, is too clear for argument. Slavery implies involuntary servitude—a state of bondage; the ownership of mankind as a chattel, or at least the control of the labor and services of one man for the benefit of another, and the absence of a legal right to the disposal of his own person, property, and services [in their entirety]. This amendment was said in the Slaughter House Cases, 16 Wall, 36, to have been intended primarily to abolish slavery, as it had been previously known in this country, and that it equally forbade Mexican peonage or the Chinese coolie trade, when they amounted to slavery or involuntary servitude and that the use of the word ‘servitude’ was intended to prohibit the use of all forms of involuntary slavery, of whatever class or name.”
[Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537, 542 (1896)]

1. HOW THE HEBREWS WENT FROM HONORED GUESTS TO SLAVES

In Gen 47:13-26, the Hebrews abandoned faith in the Provision of God to surrender to Pharaoh

“Feed us, here’s everything we own. We surrender to You.”

The above, by the way, is the foundation of the Democrat Party: Tax someone else and transfer the wealth to us.

Here is the Biblical Account:

Joseph Deals with the Famine
¹³Now there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine. ¹⁴And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.
¹⁵So when the money failed in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For the money has failed.”
¹⁶Then Joseph said, “Give your livestock, and I will give you bread for your livestock, if the money is gone.” ¹⁷So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the cattle of the herds, and for the donkeys. Thus he ^[b]fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock that year.
¹⁸When that year had ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord that our money is gone; my lord also has our herds of livestock. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our lands. ¹⁹Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants of Pharaoh; give us seed, that we may live and not die, that the land may not be desolate.”
²⁰Then Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them. So the land became Pharaoh’s. ²¹And as for the people, he ^[c]moved them into the cities, from one end of the borders of Egypt to the other end. ²²Only the land of the priests he did not buy; for the priests had rations allotted to them by Pharaoh, and they ate their rations which Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their lands.
²³Then Joseph said to the people, “Indeed I have bought you and your land this day for Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land. ²⁴And it shall come to pass in the harvest that you shall give one-fifth to Pharaoh. Four-fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and for your food, for those of your households and as food for your little ones.”
²⁵So they said, “You have saved our lives; let us find favor in the sight of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.” ²⁶And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have one-fifth, except for the land of the priests only, which did not become Pharaoh’s.
[Gen. 47:13-26, Bible, NKJV]

2. A SLAVE IS A HUMAN BEING

Who can be connected with any statutory status in civil franchises or civil law (Form #05.037) to which public rights attach without their EXPRESS consent. This is a Fifth Amendment taking without compensation, a violation of the right to contract and associate, and a conversion of PRIVATE property to PUBLIC property.
Who can’t ABSOLUTELY own PRIVATE PROPERTY. Instead, ownership is either exclusively with the government or is QUALIFIED ownership in which the REAL owner is the government and the party holding title has merely equitable interest or “qualified ownership” in the fruits.
Who is SOMEONE ELSE’S PROPERTY. That property is called a STATUTORY “person”, “taxpayer” (under the tax code), “driver”, “spouse” (under the family code) and you volunteered to become someone else’s property by invoking these statuses, which are government property. All such “persons” are public officers in the government. Form #05.042.
Who is compelled to economic or contractual servitude to anyone else, including a government. All franchises are contracts. Form #05.030.
Who is compelled to share any aspect of ownership or control of any property with the government. In other words, is compelled to engage in a “moiety” and surrender PRIVATE rights illegally and unconstitutionally.
Whose ownership of property was converted from ABSOLUTE to QUALIFIED without their EXPRESS written and informed consent.
Who is not allowed to EXCLUDE government from benefitting from or taxing property held as ABSOLUTE title.
Who is EXCLUDED from holding Title to property as ABSOLUTE or outside the “State”, where “State” means the GOVERNMENT (meaning a CORPORATION FRANCHISE, Form #05.024) and not a geographic place.
Who the government REFUSES its constitutional duty to protect the PRIVATE rights or property of (Form #12.038) or undermines or interferes with REMEDIES that protect them from involuntary conversion of ownership from ABSOLUTE to QUALIFIED.
Who is compelled to associate PUBLIC property with PRIVATE property, namely Social Security Numbers or Taxpayer Identification Numbers and thereby accomplish a conversion of ownership. SSNs and TINs are what the FTC calls a “franchise mark” (Form #05.012).
Whose reservation of rights under U.C.C. 1-308 or 1-207 is interfered with or ignored and thereby is compelled to contract with and become an agent or officer of a government (Form #05.042) using a government application form (Form #12.023).
Who isn’t absolutely equal (Form #05.033) to any and every government or who is compelled to become unequal or a franchisee (Form #05.030). The basis of ALL your freedom is EQUALITY of rights, as held by the U.S. Supreme Court. See Form #12.021, Video 1.

3. QUESTIONS

Is there any difference between BEING someone else’s property and BEING COMPELLED TO HOLD A PUBLIC OFFICE (a franchise, Form #05.030) that is someone else’s property 24 hours a day, seven days a week?
ANSWER: NO!
If government will not issue ID to NONRESIDENTS or EXCLUSIVELY PRIVATE PEOPLE not engaged in franchises and who don’t have an SSN or TIN, haven’t they effectively outlawed private property?
ANSWER: YES!
If you can only own property as a public officer in the government engaged in a franchise, and all public officers represent the government, then can you as a PRIVATE human being realistically own ANYTHING?
ANSWER: NO!
If the Declaration of Independence and the Courts universally agree that PRIVATE rights protected by the Constitution are “unalienable”, which means they cannot lawfully be sold or bargained away, then how could you lawfully contract them away to procure the “benefits” of a government franchise?
ANSWER: YOU CAN’T. YOU HAVE BEEN DECEIVED! ONLY THOSE DOMICILED ON FEDERAL TERRITORY NOT PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION CAN DO SO!

4. CONCLUSIONS

The moral of this story is that those who refuse personal responsibility to a higher power ultimately will be left with no choice OTHER than to be slaves of those who will support them. This story started in the Garden of Eden and has continued to this day:

God made Adam and Eve responsible to Him for only ONE THING: Don’t eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
To tempt Eve, the serpent promised TWO THINGS which BOTH dealt with personal responsibility:
2.1. If you eat of this fruit, you shall not be LIABLE or RESPONSIBLE for the punishment God had promised.
2.2. If you eat of this fruit, you shall be like Gods. The chief characteristic of a “god” is that they are not liable or responsible or accountable to ANYONE.
After Adam and Eve ate the fruit God approached Eve and asked here what she had done. She said “the serpent made me do it”. She deflected liability and responsibility for her own acts or choices to someone ELSE.
When God approached Adam and asked what he had done, Adam said: “That woman WHO YOU GAVE ME made me do it.” He deflected responsibility to both God AND Eve.

So we have FIVE STRIKES IN A ROW all dealing with avoidance of personal responsibility. The avoidance of personal responsibility and accountability was the ONLY reason God kicked Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden. Government has made a business out of offloading responsibility and liability and called it “social insurance”. Those who seek “social insurance” or the “mark of the beast” that implements it are forwarded that God himself will CURSE THEM:

“The rich rules over the poor,
And the borrower is servant to the lender.”
[Prov. 22:7, Bible, NKJV]
“The State in such cases exercises no greater right than an individual may exercise over the use of his own property when leased or loaned to others. The conditions upon which the privilege shall be enjoyed being stated or implied in the legislation authorizing its grant, no right is, of course, impaired by their enforcement. The recipient of the privilege, in effect, stipulates to comply with the conditions. It matters not how limited the privilege conferred, its acceptance implies an assent to the regulation of its use and the compensation for it.”
[Munn v. Illinois, 94 U.S. 113 (1876) ]

Curses of Disobedience [to God’s Laws]
“The alien [Washington, D.C. is legislatively “alien” in relation to states of the Union] who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower [malicious destruction of EQUAL PROTECTION and EQUAL TREATMENT by abusing FRANCHISES]. He shall lend to you [Federal Reserve counterfeiting franchise], but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.
“Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. And they shall be upon you for a sign and a wonder, and on your descendants forever.
“Because you did not serve [ONLY] the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, therefore you shall serve your [covetous thieving lawyer] enemies, whom the Lord will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron [franchise codes] on your neck until He has destroyed you. The Lord will bring a nation against you from afar [the District of CRIMINALS], from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies [the American Eagle], a nation whose language [LEGALESE] you will not understand, a nation of fierce [coercive and fascist] countenance, which does not respect the elderly [assassinates them by denying them healthcare through bureaucratic delays on an Obamacare waiting list] nor show favor to the young [destroying their ability to learn in the public FOOL system]. And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land [with “trade or business” franchise taxes], until you [and all your property] are destroyed [or STOLEN/CONFISCATED]; they shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you.
[Deut. 28:43-51, Bible, NKJV]

In the end, there are really only TWO types of governments: Responsible Individualism or Collectivism:

All the other “isms” and labels for governments really boil down to these two. The only reason to use other names is to disguise the real nature of the government as a civil religion designed to enslave the individual to itself.

When one receives a “paycheck” and some of it has been “withheld” you do not own yourself. The Owner of your productivity has withheld “First Fruits” as your Tithe and claimed Lordship over you and your children. The earnings became government property before you received them by attaching “The Mark of the Beast” (the SSN “franchise mark”) to them, and thus converting them from Private to Public property.
