Terry Lee of Washington was tired of being a slave.
Since the American system is voluntary, he decided to become
a sovereign citizen by using the U.S. Constitution, common sense
and a lot of legal hard work.
Terry Lee is a man with conviction and a sense of dignity,
a hard working American who has had it up to his eye-balls with
being a slave to the Corporate Republic of America.
And make no mistake about it, whether you like the term slave
or not, most Americans are exactly that to a system created
to benefit the rich while taking advantage of the poor.
It’s a system geared at using the labor and talent of many
to benefit a select few, a system that Lee, who calls himself
a “true patriot and free man,” decided years ago he no longer
wanted to be a volunteer.
A wise old man once said: “Son, if you wanna get ahead in
this world, never work for another man as long as you live.”
Although Lee says that’s sound advice, he adds it’s imperative
to go one gigantic step farther by never working or selling
your life’s blood into the “corporation as long as you live.”
But before understanding how Lee, a homebuilder and land developer
by trade who lives near Spokane, Washington, figured out how
to buck the system, he says first it’s vitally important to
comprehend that each and every American volunteers his servitude
to the system from birth, albeit volunteering without full knowledge
or consent.
And just as a citizen impliedly and implicitly volunteers,
according to Lee, he has the same ability to release the chains
and bondage by following a method he is perfecting, Lee admits,
however, his method is no “overnight fix” but is difficult,
time consuming and more like a total lifestyle makeover instead
of a quick fixer-up course in being a so-called free man.
Although there are many patriot movements taking place all
over the country, Lee says he has taken the best from each,
while adding more detailed legal steps and procedures, in order
to help others effectively work and live outside the jurisdiction
carved out by the corporate government, rights he claims fundamentally
protected by the constitution.
“I’ve been a hard working man all my life and when you go
through life accumulating things and then don’t know
how to protect yourself, it makes you stop and think,”
said Lee this week in an extended conversation from his home
in Spokane, where he now lives free from the bondage of what
- he calls a controlled and manipulated corporate-driven slave
system.
“When I finally realized I had been lied to and technically
I was not a free man but a slave, I decided to do something
about it.
I also realized that the rich men of the world really want to
capture all the living beings and take 50 percent of their labor
for their own benefit.
The system is designed to control and dominate the people
and I didn’t want any part of it.”
Lee said it’s important for a person deciding to leave the
system to understand what’s going on in the world as well as
fully understand what a person’s birth right really means and
what he can become if he truly believes freedom is more important
than being a slave to the government.
“We are created by your creator to be free with inalienable
rights as long as we do not harm our neighbor.
There are really only two basic rules to follow, being no trespass
and love thy neighbor as thy self,” said Lee.
“In Isaiah 45, God created good and evil. But in my case I realized
a long time ago being honest wasn’t good enough.
“I realized I had to gain more knowledge to protect against
evil and to protect myself from not becoming evil myself.
This is our major goal in life and once this is mastered it
is our responsibility to teach our young the same beliefs in
order to stop evil from being passed on from generation to generation.”
With these high moral standards to attain, Lee set out to
free himself from the jurisdiction of being under the thumb
of the U.S. government, starting out by first getting judicial
acknowledgement from the court he was no longing volunteering
his services to the system.
Lee said the process of confronting the system head on needs
to be carefully thought and worded, as it is necessary to make
it clear to the court system the real purpose for taking up
the court’s time.
He added that the real purpose for filing the initial court
papers isn’t adversarial like most court proceedings, but merely
a legal venture into admitting errors were made in entering
the corporate-driven government system and that these errors
need correcting inorder to get out.
“This distinction is important because the law says it can
correct errors but not a mistake,” said Lee, adding the first
thing he wanted the court to acknowledge was that he wanted
to be known as simply Terry Lee instead of the name listed on
his official birth certificate.
“I presented a five page brief and 50 pages of supporting
evidence proving that I can carry a name of my choosing as long
as I don’t use it fraudulently and, of course, it’s not necessary
to have your name legally changed.
The judge agreed and I still carry the court order with me,
which now replaces any type of ID card or driver’s license issued
by the state.”
Lee said the court order recognizing the right to carry a
name of his choosing, free from the state recognized name, is
only the first step in a myriad of legal maneuvers needed in
order to break the contract with the state, a contract binding
most men to a life of servitude and government slavery.
