Individual Free-Market Economic Power
is the Greatest Liberating Force on Earth

However, if you get bogged down in devoting yourself to only the political means to freedom, you may expend large amounts of time, effort, and money with only a vague hope of achieving some degree of limited freedom in the distant future. Generally, the political means involve fighting negatives.

THE ECONOMIC MEANS TO FREEDOM

On the other hand, if you choose to combine the economic means to freedom with the political means, you can start reaping the benefits almost immediately. Right now you can immediately expand your degree of freedom under your own control. You can quickly enjoy monetary profits and other benefits from your efforts. The economic means involve creating positives -- building freedom and prosperity for yourself, your family, and friends.

Terra Libra provides you with the opportunity to combine political and economic means in order to reap substantial rewards immediately.

Consider three economic sectors: public, private, and free. The public sector is the government or coercive sector -- the master sector. The private sector consists of economic enterprises that obey and finance the masters and obtain "privileges" from them, like licenses, subsidies, tariff protection, government contracts, tax concessions, "supportive regulation" etc.. This is the slave sector. It can also be called the victim sector. Enterprises in the victim/slave sector use "corporations" and other slave-structures.

Consider a U.S. Supreme Court ruling still in effect:

"There is a clear distinction in this particular case between an individual and a corporation, and that the latter has no right to refuse to submit its books and papers for an examination at the suit of the State. The individual may stand upon his constitutional rights as a citizen. He is entitled to carry on his private business in his own way. His power to contract is unlimited. He owes no such duty to the State, since he receives nothing therefrom, beyond the protection of his life and property. His rights are such as existed by the law of the land long antecedent to the organization of the State, and can only be taken from him by due process of law, and in accordance with the constitution. Among his rights are a refusal to incriminate himself, and the immunity of himself and his property from arrest or seizure except under a warrant of the law. He owes nothing to the public so long as he does not trespass upon their rights.

Upon the other hand, the corporation is a creature of the State. It is presumed to be incorporated for the benefit of the public. It receives certain special privileges and franchises, and holds them subject to the laws of the State and the limitations of its charter. Its powers are limited by law. It can make no contract not authorized by its charter. Its rights to act as a corporation are only preserved to it so long as it obeys the laws of its charter." Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43 at 47 (1905).

People who conduct their economic affairs in accordance with Hale v. Henkel operate in the free sector -- the real free-enterprise sector. Terra Libra is the free-enterprise sector of the world. We operate on the principles of property rights, voluntary exchange, and the sanctity of contract. A major purpose of Terra Librans is to bring about a massive shift of people, resources, and economic activities from the master and slave (or victim) sectors into the free sector. We call this the Terra Libra Shift.

The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution created a creature called a "U.S. citizen" -- euphemism for victim or slave. U.S. citizens are subject to federal and other statutory jurisdiction. The feds operate on the basis that they own their victims or slaves -- therefore: (a) They have the right to draft their slaves into the military and send them off to foreign lands to kill strangers and be killed; (b) They own slave-children and have the right to force them into concentration campuses for mind destruction; (c) They own the fruits of slave-labor and may take whatever portion they desire; (d) They own the bodies of their victims or slaves and have the right to tell them what they may and may not put into their bodies; (e) they own the businesses of their victims or slaves and have the right to tax and regulate them as they wish.

Now, the masters took many other steps to turn individuals into victims or slaves. Practically all these steps have been flagrantly fraudulent. We need a better term than "masters." I propose "terrocrats" -- (short for terrorist bureaucrats) people who use misrepresentation, fraud, coercion, violence, and terror to claim "jurisdiction" (so-called) over their victims, in order to control and dominate them, and to live off them and their labor like parasites or cannibals.

Is it appropriate to use a highly derogatory term such as "terrocrat" to describe these people? I believe so -- even though most of them are good people in their hearts, just doing their jobs. The fact is that they're supposed to have sworn an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution and they don't uphold it. They (or their fellows) have used misrepresentation and fraud to expand what they do beyond the strict limitations of the U.S. Constitution. They're part of an organization that terrorizes their victims (through the IRS, FDA, etc.), seizes their property without jury trial as stipulated by the U.S. Constitution, and massacres them (like at Waco). But, let's examine some of the fraud and misrepresentation.

If you look up entries like "14th Amendment," "U.S. citizen," and "person" in Black's Law Dictionary, and do some further research, you'll find that "person" -- which includes a "corporation" -- is a synonym for slave. You'll also find that one can have the status of "sovereign American," "state citizen," or "sovereign individual" -- all more or less synonymous with the "individual" referred to in Hale v. Henkel.

If you read the tax code, you'll find the terrocrats use the word "person " (slave). Nowhere will you find them saying that an "individual" is liable for income taxes. You'll find statutes, regulations, and court rulings saying the "taxpayer" must do this and that, but these don't apply to the "individual." And if you research common law, you'll find that there's been a centuries-old tradition of two classes of people: "freemen" and "slaves." The American Revolution broke the tradition and created a society of free and sovereign people -- free individuals. However, since then the terrocrats have been spectacularly successful in gradually reestablishing the master-slave tradition.

If you examine freedom movements, you'll find that much of what they do consists of asking the terrocrat masters to please treat us less like victims or slaves. And they've done a superb job in educating other victims or slaves to ask the same. This is reflected by the spectacular gains of freedom-oriented Republicans in the recent U.S. elections. Libertarian candidates also received a great deal of publicity and their powerful freedom principles have helped shift everyone more towards freedom. The time has now come to take the next step.

The legal means have been developed whereby you can change your status from "slave" to "sovereign individual" -- and live your life and conduct your business in accordance with Hale v. Henkel, or nearly so. Example: In 1993 a gang of terrocrats from the IRS and Post Office raided the sovereign business (free-enterprise gold bank) of Anthony Hargis in Orange County, California. They seized records, files, computers, and money. Hargis indicated to them, essentially, that he was a state citizen (sovereign individual) and that they had no jurisdiction over him and his business. They backed down completely and returned everything they had seized. There are senior terrocrats who know that even in their own courts they would face a tough and very embarrassing ordeal, if confronted with a knowledgeable sovereign individual like Anthony Hargis.

In Terra Libra we advocate that people correct their status so as to become sovereign individuals, and that they reorganize their businesses as sovereign businesses, or create new sovereign businesses. Obviously, a sovereign business - not subject to most regulation and taxation - has huge competitive advantages over slave-structures (corporations) in the victim or slave sector.

As an individual, you can learn, starting in your spare time, to create and build your own sovereign business. This is a good way to develop your Individual Free-Market Economic Power. You may also be able to work with an already-created sovereign business.

The creation of World Trade Clearinghouse (WTC) -- a worldwide system that makes possible transacting using gold as medium of exchange in complete privacy -- provides further enormous advantages to sovereign businesses in the free sector. WTC allows clients worldwide to transact with each other 24 hours a day, 365 days a year -- completing transactions within minutes via computer, modem, and encryption, in perfect privacy.

The Terra Libra Shift is accelerating. As of November, 1994 capital was moving into the Terra Libran economy (at least, the small portion I know about) at a rate of over $100,000 a month -- some months over $200,000. All the capital to launch WTC came from Terra Librans.

Terra Libra applies the economic means to build freedom. The momentum has already become unstoppable. During the next few years there will be an explosion of individuals shifting their economic resources and activities into the real free-enterprise sector that is Terra Libra. Businesses in Terra Libra will enjoy huge competitive advantages over companies that remain in the victim or slave sector. I predict that even companies like IBM will either shift into the free sector, or go out of business.

The power of the terrocrats is tenuous -- flimsy, easily dislodged -- as demonstrated by Gandhi defeating the british Empire, the collapse of the Berlin Wall, and the overnight evaporation of the Soviet Union. Power is shifting into the hands of those with the best information and the most competent at applying it to expand their Individual Free-Market Economic Power.

Now consider the possibility that the US$ will be suddenly wiped out by a financial crisis, as described in Harry Figgie's book Bankruptcy 1995. Historically all unbacked paper currencies (like the US$) have always been wiped out by market forces. No government has been able to stop this from happening. If such a crisis occurs in the U.S., do you want to be stuck in the collapsing victim/slave sector? Or do you want to prosper in the exploding free sector that is Terra Libra?

Other recent evidence demonstrates the tenuous, flimsy control governments have in the face of free-market forces. In 1993, Western European governments and their central bank cohorts attempted to maintain currency exchange rates in the European Monetary Union (EMU) within a narrow range they claimed was "best." The free market declared otherwise. Despite massive intervention (billions of dollars), by britain, Germany, France, and others, the free market prevailed. Exchange rates for the british Pound, French Franc, and German Mark broke outside the EMU limits. George Soros and other astute free-market currency traders made billions of dollars in a few months, despite the frenzied efforts of the monopoly central banks of major European countries. Soros and the other currency dealers essentially won by betting against the European governments.

The hold of even major governments over world events is thus tenuous and flimsy, not only over political events (fall of the Berlin Wall, collapse of the Soviet Union), but also over economic events (collapse of the EMU in 1993).

All this should be of great interest to all of you involved in expanding freedom and liberty. From Terra Libra you can acquire Freedom Technology: the practical knowledge, methods, and skills to live free -- the street-smart know-how to outwit the terrocrats at every turn. In your personal life you can correct your status to sovereign individual and shift from the victim or slave sector into the free sector. If it's appropriate for you to retain your U.S. citizen-status, you can still shift from using slave-structures such as corporations to using free-structures such as trusts that operate in accordance with Hale v. Henkel.

You can think in terms of what businesses and industries need to be created to expand the free sector. One of the factors that enables you to make a business highly profitable is to operate in accordance with Hale v. Henkel -- and/or to provide products and services to enable others to shift into the free sector. WTC is an example of a service that makes this easier for people around the world.

In order to shift into the free sector, some people need more knowledge.

Terra Libra and our associates already provide all the necessary knowledge. Certain real free-enterprise institutions are also necessary -- like WTC, enabling people to transact freely, safely, and securely. Hopefully, many more free-sector institutions will be created during the next year or so in areas such as energy, utilities, communication and transport, health, education, etc..

Free-sector pioneers in these areas will become millionaires and billionaires during the next decade. To appreciate the mind-boggling potential, consider the size of the terrocrat and victim/slave sectors. Imagine that most of what's being usefully done in these sectors will be replaced by free-sector enterprises. We're talking about multi-billion-gram-gold business empires! We're talking about moving into a vacuum. We're talking about outcompeting the terrocrat and victim/slave sectors.

Some people need to overcome their fear and develop their personal power before they would consider shifting from the ostensible "safety" and "security" of the victim or slave sector into the perceived risk of the free sector. Terra Libra is establishing Personal Power Institutes around the world, where people can learn to overcome their fear and become vastly more powerful and competent as sovereign individuals.
