Shire Society Declaration

WE, THE UNDERSIGNED witnesses to the lesson of history — that no form of political governance may be relied upon to secure the individual rights of life, liberty, or property — now therefore establish and provide certain fundamental precepts measuring our conduct toward one another, and toward others:

FIRST, each individual is the exclusive proprietor of his or her own existence and all products thereof, holding no obligations except those created by consent;

SECOND, no individual or association of individuals, however constituted, has the right to initiate force against any other individual;

THIRD, each individual has the inalienable right of self-defense against the initiation of force;

FOURTH, explicit voluntary association is the only means by which binding obligations may be created, and claims based on association or relationships to which any party did not consent are empty and invalid;

FIFTH, rights are neither collective nor additive in character, and no group can possess rights in excess of those belonging to its individual members;

We hereby declare our commitment to peace, individual sovereignty, and independence, and join the Shire Society.

TomZootsi We are just working within the system like everyone tells us to. Don’t get upset if we play the democracy game and happen to win.

Because liberty and freedom is not a “belief” to be foisted on others as some think it is (see posts…yikes!) and is actually a way of life and a way to have a true civil society where all *voluntarily* work together (and separately) to accomplish goals and fulfill dreams without stealing from one another by force or threats I am pleased to sign this declaration…

It is an honor to sign my name to a document that has clearly been drafted by an individual, of high consciousness, well versed in Natural Law. I pledge to Live my life in harmony with both The Non Aggression and the self defense principle this document invokes.
May Truth, Liberty, and Love be bestowed on all humankind, especially though in harmony with the divine understanding of freedom this document implies.

samanthaswift!12 I am in a place that recognizes self and the desire to manifest a proper and loving community in which will be a shining example for all to return to The Mother. All will be Connecting to the force of creativity of like and kind individuals working from the collective bringing the truth filled vibrations of all being creator experiencing the mystic that has manifest to the common. There is lost knowledge we are here to re-engrain into the psyche. Some carry many of the lost commonalities to a part of our existence that calls forth the energies and manifest of our foremothers. Some carry much of the earthen simplicity of hand to manifest creation. I am that. I make this declaration to all of entirety and signing This Declaration with a singing signature. Samantha L. Roberts

Check your State Statutes for the phrase ” in this state or in the state ” this is where the New Hampshire statutes apply. The State of New Hampshire is all the federal land in New Hampshire. There are two governments one under common law the other under statutes. This is how they fool us they write a law for the land they own and then apply it on land they do not own you have to challenge territorial jurisdiction to address this.

“Do unto others as you would have others do unto you!” – ” Love your Creator and love thy neighbor as thyself, upon these two Commandments rest the whole law!”

If “we” really and truly honored and performed the above statements in our daily lives, we would have no need for websites like this! But, since good and evil minded men and women co-exist together in this world, we (who desire to live in harmony) must come together and find a common bond, which is nothing more than the desire to be “FREE” men and women from the tyrannical notions and motives of oppressive psychopaths!! Let freedom ring!!

Fill me with freedom and away from all this oppression & false justice system. I may inhibit California but the hostility is why I do not consent to any of their laws.I’ve even been shot in the neck by an officer back when I turned 18 I’m now 23 & the last thing I told my lawyer was so you’re telling me that I’m not going to make out on this because I’m not dead or paralyzed & he responded to me saying what do you want lo happen to the officer & I quote him “do you want him to be prosecuted” I said hell yea! but unfortunately he told me you and I both know that’s not going to happen ?and 8 settled out of court for barley enough to pay my hospital bills the bullet went into my neck to my shoulder it’s changed my view and opened my eyes to the bigger picture this is my signature and if hope to be apart of Keene someday too.

The only way we have a chance at a nonviolent, deeply peaceful society is to embody nonviolence every day. I embody nonviolence and anarchy in my life everyday, and can’t succeed without my community. I am humbled by The Shire’s work and our community. Soon I will be in The Shire, and peace will emanate from within. Nothing can shake me, nothing can shock or disrupt this peace. I pass it on to those around me. They can threaten, hurt, abuse or even kill us, but they can’t get all of us or our descendants. I am here not for revolution- to repeat the mistakes of the founding fathers- but for resolution. I am here for radical, peaceful coexistence.

You can still do all of the things you want to, we are not forcing anything on you but living the way we want to. If you care about the environment then you should oppose government completely, as war and violence are the most fundamental destructive forces to the environment. People are part of the environment.

If you want to see businesses grow that have integrity, are environmentally conscious and align with your values, then you can support or remove support by choosing where to shop. New Hampshire has the second largest network of co-ops, permaculture, alt energy, and free trade in the country next to Minnesota. Free trade in this sense refers to allowing consumers to choose raw milk and unregulated foods, which gives farmers much more freedom to connect with the land and the people the way they see fit.

If you really want to see some exciting environmental practices, check out PermaCityLife in Franklin, New Hampshire. There are a lot of anarchists involved that want to decrease government, and the state is getting in the way with regulations and trying to steal Todd Workman’s money for not organizing his plans the way the state wants. This is impeding, not helping. Whatever your beliefs are, you can be a part of the movement by coexisting with us and taking action instead of getting caught up in beliefs.
