Sovereigns in western North Carolina

[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.

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.
