One of the main ways to stay out of trouble with government agents is to keep a low profile, i.e., stay away from those situations wherein you call attention to yourself. After all, if they don't know about you, they can't attack you. Here are some practical methods to use to keep a low profile.
It is not necessary, nor is it desireable, to fight the bureacrats on every front. If you do that, you will just gain a reputation as a "radical" and the effectiveness of your fights will be diluted. If you are going to fight a battle with the bureaucrats, you should pick an area where you have a good chance of winning and a venue where you can get some favorable publicity. This means learning all you can about the area before you start the fight and it means making sure you are in a good position, both lawfully and legally. But mostly it means to figure out a way around the problem rather than attacking it head on.
One of the things that bureaucrats look for is an easy target. The probable reason someone becomes a bureaucrat is to make a comfortable living without having to work too hard for it. (Remember the law of survival.) If a bureaucrat is presented with two targets, one that can be disposed of in a few hours and another that looks like it may take a month or two, most bureaucrats will pick the first one. (Unless you are to be used as an object lesson which is why you want to keep a low profile.)
There are many ways to protect your assets, some more effective than others. And, to keep things from being too simple, the effectiveness of the various methods change over time. Here are a few methods for you to consider.
Exit the system. Quit your job, rescind your Social Security Number, cancel your drivers' license, move into the hills, and start living off the land. This is not a method that most people will select although it is a very effective method. But, remember the law of survival. By exiting the system, you will be significantly reducing the odds of passing on your genes.
Become a Permanent Tourist. You can become a temporary resident of a country and then move on to another country before you have stayed long enough to be considered a permanent resident. Most countries treat visitors much better than they treat their citizens so this can represent a significant increase in your personal freedom. The method requires some manipulation of the passport system and it does mean that you will not be able to "settle down" but it does work. If you are interested in looking into this method further, you can find more information in "The World Citizen Ideas of Garry Davis". Don't forget to come back here when you're finished.
Go Offshore. Going offshore means to keep all or part of your assets in financial organizations in a country different from your country of residence. For example, if you live in the uS, Canada would be offshore for you. (Although I don't recommend that you put your assets in Canada, either.) There are advantages and disadvantages to going offshore. An advantage is that your assets are managed under the laws of the offshore country which usually give a huge advantage to offshore assets. Unless there is a tax treaty between your country and the country where your assets are, your financial affairs will not be reported to your home country. A disadvantage is that it usually takes longer to get access to your assets when you need them and some countries place a penalty on the movement of assets across international borders. Going offshore can be a very effective way to protect your assets but the advantages vary widely with the country and with the specific type of financial organization you select. WEPIN Store has very little expertise in offshore methods, unless you are a non-uS citizen and the uS is offshore for you, so we recommend that you investigate several offshore consultants and explore various options before placing your assets.
Use the Pure Trust. In our opinion, this is the most effective way to protect assets. This method has been used by the rich and powerful, especially in the uS, for decades. The pure trust has been tested in uS courts and has always been upheld except in those cases where it was obvious that the trust was setup to bypass legal obligations. (This usually happens in those cases where the trustee and the beneficiary are the same person or where the trust was set up after someone is in trouble.) The pure trust works because the assets exchanged into the trust are owned by the trust while those same assets are controlled by either the trustees or a contracted managing director. The trust has no tax obligations, although the trust may submit to some taxes in order to keep a lower profile, and has all the same constitutional rights as an individual. Assets owned by the trust do not go through probate if the trustee(s) or the managing director(s) die and, since nothing is inherited by anyone, there is no inheritance tax liability. WEPIN Store does have expertise in pure trusts. If you are interested in managing a pure trust, which gives you control of the trust assets, explore "Protecting Your Assets" in another area of this web site. You can even place an order from there.
Maintain a Presence
If you drop completely off the radar screen, i.e., you show no visible means of support, and if you do come to the attention of the bureaucrats, perhaps as a result of a minor traffic infraction, etc, the very fact that you show no means of support can cause them to widen their investigation and possibly mark you for special attention. As a result of the millions of pages of rules, regulations, and statutes in existence today, very few of us could survive such an investigation as we all break several rules every day just as a result of normal living. So...
A part of your living free strategy should be to show sufficient assets to be able to survive. For example, you should maintain a checking account with sufficient income to meet your normal obligations, such as the rent, the utility bill, etc. And you should use this account to pay those obligations. You should also maintain at least one automobile, preferably a few years old, and this automobile should be registered with the state. You get the idea. You are trying to present the picture of a typical uS resident with minimal, but adequate, assets. That way, when you do come to the attention of the bureaucrats, you will just look like one of the sheeple.
