Free Community Project

[Pericles]

I guess I had to name it something .... anyway, I posted the basics of the plan I have underway elsewhere on RPF:

The plan is relatively simple, which is why there might be a chance of success. A county has been targeted which has a part time sheriff and no other law enforcement, a county wide school district with less than 50 students, a low population, no zoning laws, low property and other taxes as a result of low population, and no aquifier district, which under the laws of the state, do not restrict water wells.

Do a FSP in miniature, but the location is isolated (which makes it a good SHTF bug out location), so you move your residence there for voting and tax purposes and build your bug out place. Then we start on economic development that would eventually allow for full time residence and build an actual defendable community.

At the state level, there is no income tax, a sales tax, which a barter system avoids, car registration @ about $50 per year, and controlling the county board controls tax rates on property. Depending on your profession, there may be some state licensing or regulations, but other than that you could be as free person as is possible in the US.

I have been thinking along these lines awhile now. It has definite merit - more so than attempting to work top-down. Free Community Project is as good a name as any, though I came up with Copper, Cu, for "County-up" - working our way from the county upward. Perhaps copper bracelets are in order.

What kind of terrain/weather? Suitable for cattle?

Okay, cool. Where is it at?

[phill4paul]

More specifics. At this point I am up for anything. Even if I have to spend part time elsewhere to make a living it would be something I would be interested in developng for the long term.

I might be willing to invest in some property there. Depending on more info.

I'm in support and will participate in this type of project, and offer my $.02. Apologies, Pericles, if I'm speaking out of turn.

We still have all our rights protected by the Constitution. The problem is, power hungry people will take from the masses and the masses will not exert their rights. We, liberty minded people, have always existed and are vocal but are always in the minority and I believe typically lack the leadership, chutzpah, whatever to beat back the power hungry tyrants.

Having said that, I believe we should settle a place and enforce our rights, together. Individually people are picked off by the government, together we defend our rights and run a Constitutional type of system. When an individual stands up and fights, whether they win or lose, it's a flash in the pan (story in a small news outlet, thread on a forum). This association to exert our rights, together, will invite other liberty desirous people to join once they see its success. Other communities will spring up, and the movement will flourish. Of course, this must be well thought out ahead of time and with participants from every walk of life and profession. Being united in defense of one another's rights is of *paramount* important - if we do not have an established defense in place this venture will be all for naught. Think Constitutionally, live constitutionally.

For the anarchal types among us, I dig your perspective, however I don't believe we can become completely Stateless in one fell swoop. A project like this is a great opportunity to perhaps build an anarchal lifestyle within the project.

Questions like this are important, perhaps Pericles will provide you enough information (through PM). My presumption is that you already deal w/ livestock and would better understand the necessary requirements such that you could do the research or point us in the direction of acquiring a liberty person of that skill to do it for us.
