Clint Richardson | Unidroit, Uniform Law, False Patriot Mythos, & Private Member Associations
The prolific decoder of all things legal, Clint Richardson, returns to InnerVerse for an extended rap on patriot myths that might get people into trouble. We talk extensively about the "redemption" process, revoking one's citizenship, and more. Also covered in this chat is Unidroit (from Rome), and the attempt from powers that be to make worldwide law into a uniform system. Another major segment of this 3 hour conversation revolves around the Public legal world in contrast to the Private common law, and whether forming Private Members Only Associations could be a tool for circumventing legal tyranny and unwanted regulation or taxation.

Core themes
Clint's case against the patriot redemption myth
Clint says he first absorbed the patriot mythology in Los Angeles around 2003, repeated it without checking, and later retracted it, which is why he now works only from primary sources like the legal code and agency websites. He argues the founding story that the United States went bankrupt is false, since nation states default rather than declare bankruptcy, unlike municipalities such as Stockton. He calls repeaters parrots, citing the Alex Jones body scanner photo he says came from a modeling site, while Chance frames redemption as an externalized version of an inner process.
The Federal Reserve as Congress's creation
Clint argues the Federal Reserve is not private but independent, grouped with the Post Office and the Securities and Exchange Commission as agencies Congress created and can end, pointing to Ron Paul's bill to end the Fed. In his reading, member banks hold non-ownership stock that works like a gym membership, the maxim that the creator controls applies, and hearings where Ben Bernanke declines to answer are theater that manufactures boogeymen. Chance adds that the boogeyman is really in the mirror for anyone taking part in these systems.
Legal persons versus the living man
Clint explains his view that a person is a legal status rather than a human being, using the push to grant robots personhood as his example, and says a natural person in law means natural to the state, not of nature. He argues commercial speech is not protected by the Constitution, so people acting as commercial persons find their rights constantly overridden. Revisiting his book Strawman, he calls the straw man a legitimate legal concept from homo stramineus, and reads the Bible as a book of law whose repeated instruction not to respect persons, in his view, warns against corporations and titles.
Nation states, Unidroit and uniform law
Clint argues that after the Civil War the nation became a commercial nation state, absorbing the militias and the states' sovereignty and later ceding it through United Nations treaties, which he says is why a republic is nothing special when China and Russia are republics too. He describes Unidroit, the International Institute for the Unification of Private Law in Rome, as steering people into arbitration through end user agreements, and says the Uniform Law Commission and groups like the National Governors Association, which he says holds the copyright on Common Core, spread uniform codes state by state.
Accepted for value and citizenship claims
Clint says instruments like accepted for value are real but meant for corporations, and that gurus sell paperwork promising access to a secret treasury account tied to the birth certificate, stretching a smidgen of truth into a big lie. In his account, clerks whose only job is to process cannot reject such filings, so fraud gets filed and caught later, which matches Chance's story of a friend who spent the money and was fined. Clint adds that renouncing citizenship requires appearing before a consular officer, and that the non-citizen national passport was meant for places like Guam and the Virgin Islands.
Quotes
“The religious hierarchy, they also are selling you a redemption story that is an externalization of an internal process.”
“This is why now I never listen to anybody without verifying the source. I do not teach or share anything unless I go to the source.”
“The Federal Reserve is not private, it is independent. Big difference. If you look up independent agencies of government, you'll find the Post Office.”
“We don't want to say that we support the existence of a central federal bank. It's just that we need to get straight that the boogeyman is in the mirror for us taking part in these systems.”
“Commercial speech is not protected by the Constitution. The Constitution protects inherent rights of men. Commercial speech is not of men.”
“Republic means commonwealth, it doesn't mean anything. If China can be a republic, then we can be China, is the point.”
“The Bible's not religion. Religions are built around objects and sacred things. The Bible itself is not a religion in any way, shape or form. It's a book of law.”
“Accepted for value is a real thing. All these things are real things, but they're not meant for individuals. They're for corporations.”
