We pay the bills for their criminal financial system that owns the judicial and democratic farce of representation called parliament or congress and senate the people and therefore the lawmakers, they own the law enforcement if it is military and police. They own our food and others supplies and utilities.Yes your are really slaves even if you thought this was abolished long ago.

By boycotting, by civil disobedience, by not following unlawful and unjust orders, statutes, bills, laws, by keeping our oaths to serve the constitution and its people not our own pockets and interests.)
