Had to laugh at the punchline from this!
“BBC’s coverage of the OWS protests is now 24 hour….and very friendly and amenable it all sounds:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b01609dk
‘Up All Night went to St Paul’s Cathedral in London meets the anti-capitalists protestors. ‘
The BBC happy to provide a platform for the protestors to have a free, unopposed rant….though they will only ‘resist peaceably’….passive resistance like Ghandi or Martin Luther King according to the BBC presenter. Some light relief from someone who shall remain nameless….
BBC: ‘Who am I speaking to?’
Protestor: ‘You are speaking to me, I’m an entity commonly known as Dom….I don’t have a name…coz that’s part of why I’m here…we’re being enslaved and put into a prison without bars by the legal and monetary systems…society is controlling people by fear…not consent.’
Dom is correct. A name is the creation of a legal fiction, it is not a flesh and blood man. Look up the ‘freeman on the land’ movement which is all about applying natural law through common law for the good of the individual, rather than merchant, or cannon, or mercantile law, which only benefits the law society and corporations. It is the ultimate in freedom and personal responsibility. Emphasis on RESPONSIBILITY!
I add that I have looked extensively at the ‘freeman on the land’ idea and have decided that it is not for me as it is a very very difficult way to exist. It means not using money, hospitals or any function of the state and it requires an extensive and in-depth knowlege of the law and how to successfully apply the law in de-facto corporate courts.
We have been brought up to exist entirely UNDER mercantile law from cradle to grave, to the extent that most people have no idea that they are tricked in to obey a ‘system’ of law which is voluntary and only applies with consent. However, revoking that consent is almost impossible and there are so many traps, that I am not prepared to free myself from it at this time.
I too have studied the freeman thing for some time
as you say it would be extremely difficult to live outside the system-but that’s the nature of the slavery that has been foisted on the people.It’s not meant to be easy to shake off
‘we’re being enslaved and put into a prison without bars by the legal and monetary systems…society is controlling people by fear…not consent.’
Sounds a lot like a certain compelled tax, only via BBC and Capita the bars can end up quite real.
‘[W]e’re being enslaved and put into a prison without bars by the legal and monetary systems…society is controlling people by fear…not consent.’
Yes, Dom – it’s called ‘paying tax’. That is why most of us are working today and not sitting in tents outside St. Paul’s.
Great article here at The Commentator on the double lives of these middle-class activists :

ROBERT BROWN; Yes i agree, tremendous stuff from Milo, as usual. Should send the whole article to the wretched Guardian, show them what decent comment is.
“…we’re being enslaved … by the legal and monetary systems…”
Eh? What you mean is you haven’t got any money because you do not contribute any labour to earn it, and you do have a legal identity (a birth certificate) but you prefer not to acknowledge it for reasons apparent only to you…
You are not enslaved Dom, you are a loser, and you blame society for the consequences of your own choices.
That’s hilarious from Dom who doesn’t have a name. đŸ˜€
This entity known as MT has a stitch from laughing at Earnest DomSpeak.
Not a BBC-NUJ view:
‘Telegraph’ –
“A sullied cathedral.People have a right to demonstrate, but the Occupy the London Stock Exchange group does not have a right to wreak havoc on St Paul’s Cathedral. ”
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/telegraph-view/8846091/A-sullied-cathedral.html
Interesting comparison with Gandhi and King, two idols of the self-hating middle-class left.
One inherited the family businesses of slum landlording and loan sharking in later life, while the other was a filthy manipulative sex-fiend.
But both had religious pretensions, which I suppose at least raises them above the white trash of St Pauls. (I mean the non-clerical trash).
