I fear that in time unless others begin to see what we see so clearly, there will be no escaping the 'system' that we are being forced to be a part of. I live in the UK and am just starting out on my journey into fatherhood. I have already had some issues due to my refusal to attend the local magistrate to hand over ownership of my son to the state by means of registering his 'birth' with my 'sign of nature'. ACtually this is not true, I did attend of my own free will to question the magistrate and find out why they feel that I 'must' register my son. Having spoken to the head registrar they were unable to provide me with a reason. This was followed by a threatening letter from the National Records For Scotland in which they told us that if we did not comply, we would be liable to up to two years in prison and also a fine. Having spoken with the head 'person' here I again found that they could not provide me with a good enough reason for me to sign over MY responsibility for guiding my son through life to the state so I informed them that I would not be complying with their demand. In the end the magistrate decided to register my sons 'birth' on their own authority.
This was what I am sure will be the first of many intrusions into our lives and since we do not have any intentions of letting the state indoctrinate our son or stick needles full of God only knows what into his body, I am sure we will have more intrusions in the not so distant future.
The biggest problem however is the lack of knowledge or willingness to learn by the rest of the 'people' with whom we have to share our time here. Many are so indoctrinated that they believe that WE are abusing our son because we do not want to sign away his life or have him pumped full of poison.
I wish you and you're family all the best @markwhittam and hope you can find the life that you deserve.
A fantastic post, though it is a crying shame that we even have to discuss these issues in the first place. The sooner we can show everyone the nature of the cage in which they live the better!
Keep up the good fight my friend!
Very well written, I couldn't agree more. Those people who actually care about these things and don't want to poison their child's body and mind are at least watched, sometimes worse. It's like a witch hunt all over again.
And yes: a lot of people are still asleep, at least partly. That to me means that all the vaccines, fluoride etc. are working. However, I've seen more people here who are wide awake than anywhere else. That gives me hope and tells me it's not too bad after all.
When I get home from work I will give a full reply to this great comment, I am also from the uk and know all about the dangers of registering the birth of your child. Speak l8er
@markwhittam I found your post when @tonyr Resteemed it. Thank you Tony. Such an incredible and unbelievable time you are going through. We worry here about jumping through hoops just in an effort to get off the grid for solar, what home gardens we are/are not allowed to have to grow food, etc. trying to get free of the systems. We thought that was a big deal, but I can't even imagine the state coming for our son. I gave you a vote, it's not worth much yet since I'm new, so I sent you some Steem Dollars directly to help in your journey. Best of luck, keep positive, it will work out in the end.
Ok wow, I thought you sent it by mistake,
This is very kind of you, I tell you what, I'm going to buy a tree with this and plant it on the land, just let me know what name we should give the tree, and if you ever visit you can see your tree in full boom :)
I'm am interested in your project, sounds great are you blogging about it?
Thanks again that's very sweet
Maybe the "Steem Tree", or something along those lines, in honor of of how this platform seems to bring people together in support of each other. Allow the family to vote on it.
I haven't posted anything on our gardens yet, but I will. I grow 90% hydroponics, 10% soil. Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Peppers, Beans, Lettuce, Chards, Strawberries, Blackberries. The basics that help take some of our reliance off the supermarket system. Things have to be in containers here since everything is governed by the neighborhood association rules. We are trying to get to a goal in the next 2 years to move to place where we can lave land, be free to grow food, raise chickens for eggs, have solar, and return to a more self-sufficient life. A mix of modern amenities and responsible living. :-)
Steem tree it is :)
wow cool, we might be bugging for tips when we finally start growing, and I hope you eventually find a place you can grow to your full potential.
food in the shops is getting smaller, more poisonous and more expensive by the day, so the sooner we all start growing the better.
look forward to reading about your garden soon :)
You got it. I'll be here and happy to help with what I can. I'm restarting our front garden system this weekend so I will most likely start blogging on the subject next week.
Look forward to it my friend! Have agreat day and speak soon!
Thank you for this interaction, my hat's of to you for not wanting to register the birth of your child, and sticking to your guns even under threats of a prison term, like you say registering your child with the state is essentially handing over ownership, the same as when you register your car, you hand over ownership, and in return you get a piece of paper with your name as the registered 'keeper', not owner, this then gives them the right to confiscate your car for none payment of tax etc.
I wonder if you have heard of a man called Michael of Bernicia from Newcastle, he went through the same treatment as you, all the threats of prison and fines but succeeded in not having his daughter owned by the state.
He also managed to tell the tax man to jog on! you can find his videos on youtube.
I commend you for not wanting to poison your child with vaccinations and understand too well the reaction from Joe public, most people here in Sweden think we are completely bonkers for not vaccinating,
I fear too much T.V and fluoride have made people soft and easily led and afraid of the unknown.
I wish you all the best with your willingness to take back control over your families destiny,
and look forward to reading posts about it, we have a duty here to inspire others and show them that you can just say no, and that you should question everything that the state push's upon us
Peace
followed :) in a none big brother sense ;)
All I want is to live my life and bring up my family in peace and without interference from anyone else and I am sure it is the same for you. I think we have to be honest with ourselves and admit that society isn't going to change. 'People' are more interested in Game Of Thrones or the X-Factor or whatever the **** is trending right now. I couldn't really tell you because I haven't watched TV for as long as I can remember. I occasionally check the news if there is something happening like the fire in Kensington but only to find out what lies are being fed to the masses. I think there will only ever be a few of us willing to stand up. Most don't have a clue how the world works and most of those that do are too scared to stick their heads above the parapet. It is understandable I suppose but very frustrating. I probably know enough to be a danger to myself and have difficulty at times controlling my emotional responses. :(
After I read your post last night I began writing about the example you have given with the vehicle registration being just the same as registering a 'birth' but I'm not sure I can find the right words and tone to post about the subject as like I said I have trouble controlling my justified anger but I am really encouraged that @canadian-coconut has managed to gain 1000 followers while posting about these subjects so there is clearly a good amount of users on steemit who are aware of the situations we find ourselves in. I also thought that since she was doing such a great job and I couldn't do a better one, that I wouldn't really be able to add anything to what she has to say. I am realising though that the more of us that talk about these things the more the word will get out so I do hope to start writing about some things that I feel are important to share and add my voice to the likes of yours and that of canadian-coconut!
I am not very familiar with Michael of Bernicia but have heard the name and will take a look when I get the chance but I am also aware of the fact that income tax only applies to 'income' and not earnings and I know what the definition of earnings is and have a level of understanding of legalese and the use of common words as a means of deception by the state and judicial system and also know about the difference between driving and travelling etc, etc. I definitely have a lot I could write about.
As to your own situation, I commend you also on your taking a stand against the control system and really feel for you that you have to leave your home due to the fact that schooling is mandatory in Sweden. This was news to me but I cannot say I am surprised by anything anymore. I hope everything works out well for you and your family my friend and hope that we can continue to talk to one another in future.
Wow I agree with everything you said, as if I said it myself.
We really are on the same page, and I think you have a very good way of explaining it too,
I understand that it really winds you up but you should not be scared of expressing your frustrations, especially here on steemit.
A lot of the stuff @canadian-coconut writes about is very sensitive for some people, and a lot would disagree with her, but she never gave up and slowly but surely found her audience, and now enjoys writing about something she is passionate about, which I believe you can too.
the great thing about steemit is people generally behave themselves here, and have the decency and respect to keep there shitty opinions to themselves, and even when you do get criticism here it seems to be wrapped up in a nice fluffy coating, like: hi I couldn't help notice your opinion is wrong, have a nice day. and those people will probably never read your posts again and go on to something a bit more digestible.
I know I have offeneded some people with my views, but I have yet to receive any nasty comments.
Write what you believe in, and that passion will come through in your writing.
Thanks for this, it really makes me feel like there is hope, and look forward to reading your stories of your battles with state
A pleasure @markwhittam! Thanks for the encouragement and support my friend!
Have a great day! :)
