Sovereigns in western North Carolina

Post by Lambkin »

A long overview on sovereign shitizenry in the Hendersonville Times-News

http://www.blueridgenow.com/article/201 ... /1042/news
Fueled by government angst, the Internet and the recession, this unorganized sect of tax-evaders and law-shruggers is growing in North Carolina and across the country.

Transylvania and Henderson counties are estimated to have as many as a few hundred who share the beliefs that people are born sovereign, but become enslaved by a government that has no authority.

They live by the rule of “inalienable rights,” often dismissing the government’s claims that they must pay taxes, register their vehicles, drive with a license, pay a mortgage and exist with Social Security numbers.

Transylvania County Sheriff David Mahoney thumbs through a three-inch stack of paperwork he received by certified mail from a resident sovereign citizen, who refuted a traffic citation for operating a car without a license.

Most are pretty small operators and below the radar unless they make national waves like Eric Rudolf, who hid out in the forest for quite a while before he was found dumpster diving. One of the more notable anti-gov activists is long gone: http://freedom-school.com/nord-davis/pardon-me-5.pdf "Northpoint Teams"; by his estimation Davis claimed to have prevented WWIII.
