I’ve come to the conclusion that the whole area is a minefield with so many contradictions. The true agenda of TPUC is hard to determine, but equally the agenda of organisations like Common Purpose is confusing.

Time and time again I find I can always rely and fall back on the logical Thelemic perspective of Individualistic Libertarianism.

In other words, look out for No 1. Everything else is suspect.

Wonder how many people would sign up for a job screwing their fellow man for no good reason then…

Violence doesn’t solve anything, it’s true, it’s just a lot of fun to think about. Look at the picture above, and picture a 5lb sack of Valencia Oranges hitting the tool, flying into the back of the front seats, probably smashing lots of expensive public raping gear…I don’t know, the thought’s got a smirk going on my face, is all I can say!

There’s a guy who occasionally drinks at my local boozer who is a criminal defence lawyer. For all intents and purposes I dislike the little bastard immensely, but he was in the pub last night and after he had a few beers I started asking him about Black’s Law Dictionary.

He seemed really dismissive of it and said that it’s of little importance in Scottish Law and asked me why I was so curious about it. I told him that I wanted to learn about legal terms and definitions and that it seemed to me that words we take for granted mean completely different things in Law. I told him that I suspected that we end up paying for things like fines, licences and penalties because we end up admitting our own guilt.

Right out of the blue, he said “Oh of course. For example, I’ve never paid Council Tax or TV Licence for 5 years.”

Bingo, I had him. I then started asking him if that was to do with these things being Statutory Laws and in essence contracts that we don’t necessarily have to agree to.

At this point he gets all shifty and tries to change the subject by saying “Well, I pay 40% tax on everything I earn.”

“Yes,” I remark, “but that’s because you earn shit-loads of cash for defending criminals which essentially has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that you are not paying Council Tax.”

“Yes,” he finally admits, “I can avoid Council Tax because I work within the system and know the language.”

“So none of us really need to be paying Council Tax?” I ask.

At this point he looks like he wishes he had not had too many beers and opened his big mouth, but says “Yes, none of us need to be paying it, but if you can get away without paying it, you should keep that information to yourself.”

Then he gets his coat and leaves.

So there is truth in the TPUC argument. Basically, by entering into communication with the Council we are entering into a contract with them and thereby agreeing to pay them Council Tax by our own ignorance of the law.

To understand the language of the law is very powerful stuff indeed, and clearly lawyers don’t really want the general public to know about these matters.

One can understand why. If the general public knew how much they could get away with, lawyers and solicitors wouldn’t be making the vast amounts of money that they do by having us all conform to something that is essentially a total charade.

have you heard of john harris or http://www.tpuc.org ? lots of people there are escaping prosecution for many offences through a “free-man” argument….. Acts of Parliament are not laws – they are “given the force of law by the consent of the governed” (Blacks Law dictionary) – the question then of course being how to with-hold that consent. It seems it’s all to do with the difference between you and your “legal person”. I’m new to the whole thing so I’ll leave anyone interested to go to the source…. good place to start is a video called “It’s an Illusion” by John Harris. Link here:-
