In this article, I address questions from a student exploring the sovereign citizen movement, aiming to provide clarity for those unfamiliar with the topic. By answering common queries, I hope to alleviate concerns and shed light on the ideals and goals of The Rebels of the Sacred Earth organization.
Are you a sovereign citizen? What does it mean to you?
As of 05/25/2021, I proudly identify as a sovereign citizen and am actively engaged with The Rebels of the Sacred Earth, a sovereign citizen organization. In essence, our collective purpose is to fulfill our patriotic duty by dismantling the current corrupt government and asserting our right to establish a new one.
What does this mean for us?
It signifies the freedom and opportunity to fulfill our roles as patriots in a free nation. It grants us the freedom to dismantle a corrupt and tyrannically oppressive government, exercise our sovereignty, and shape new governance aligned with our best interests. Our pursuit is rooted in the freedom to govern ourselves according to our vision, resisting imposition by those wielding force. It embodies true freedom, universal liberty, and the commitment to ensuring equal justice for all.
2. Where did your beliefs come from?
Specifically, the Declaration of Independence, crafted by the forefathers of the United States, harbors profound wisdom. Properly grasping this document unveils a wellspring of knowledge, acknowledging the inherent power within it. Additionally, authors such as William W. Johnstone, known for his "Out of the Ashes" series, and Alexander Berkman, the insightful mind behind "What Is Communist Anarchism," serve as valuable resources. For a deeper understanding of governance, I wholeheartedly recommend delving into "The Social Contract" by Jean Jacques Rousseau.
A quote from Jean Jacques Rousseau: “Indeed, if there were no prior convention, where, unless the election were unanimous, would be the obligation on the minority to submit to the choice of the majority? How have a hundred men who wish for a master the right to vote on behalf of ten who do not? The law of majority voting is itself something established by convention, and presupposes unanimity, on one occasion at least.”
A quote from Alexander Berkman:
“The word Anarchy comes from the Greek, meaning without force, without violence or government, because government is the very fountainhead of violence, constraint, and coercion.
Anarchy[2] therefore does not mean disorder and chaos, as you thought before. On the contrary, it is the very reverse of it; it means no government, which is freedom and liberty. Disorder is the child of authority and compulsion. Liberty is the mother of order.”
A quote from William W. Johnstone a combat veteran of the U.S. military:
“The government troops began their search-and-destroy missions. They entered hospitals and nursing homes and found the patients had been armed. The very old and sick and dying fought just as savagely as the young and strong and healthy. Old people, with tubes hanging from their bodies, some barely able to crawl, hurled grenades and shot at the special troops. And the young men in their jump boots and berets and silver wings wept as they killed the old people. Tough marines cried at the carnage.
Many of the young soldiers threw down their weapons and walked away, refusing to take part in more killing. It was not cowardice on their part—not at all. These young men would have fought to the death against a threat to liberty; but the people of the Tri-states were no threat to their liberty. And the young troops finally learned the lesson their forefathers died for at Valley Forge: people have a right to be free, to live arid work and play in peace and personal freedom—and to govern themselves.
Many of the young troops deserted to join the Rebels; officers publicly shot enlisted people who refused to fight against a group of citizens whom they believed had done no wrong.
The universal soldier syndrome came home to many of the troops: without us, you can’t have a war.” Excerpt From Out of the Ashes.
3. What is a sovereign citizen?
Understanding what a sovereign citizen is necessitates a grasp of the concept of government. Governments derive their power from the consent of the governed, essentially forming as organized groups of sovereign citizens who willingly agree to be governed in a manner aligning with their best interests. Any government that strips its citizens of this consent becomes tyrannically oppressive. As citizens in a free nation, we not only bear the duty but also possess the right to dismantle any form of tyranny. A sovereign citizen embodies an individual acknowledging their responsibility to their country by exercising the right to maintain sovereignty over a corrupt government, achieved through the revocation of their consent to be governed. This process involves the collaborative establishment of a new government with fellow sovereigns.
In a free society, innocent individuals retain the right to be governed by their chosen ideas, even if those ideas are flawed, as long as they willingly consent to such a system. However, these individuals are not entitled to force others to comply with their misguided legislations. Similarly, free individuals have the right to be governed by sound ideas, provided they consent to such a system. Yet, they, too, lack the authority to coerce others into obeying their just legislations.
4. What do you do on a day-to-day basis that is different from what would be considered a “Citizen of the government”? Are there any differences at all?
Sovereign citizens enjoy the freedom to act as they please, provided their actions only result in harm or loss to themselves. In my capacity as a sovereign citizen, I am actively collaborating with fellow brothers and sisters to establish a new government.

5. What do you think has to change in the government? How, and why.
Refusing to expect a broken system to fix itself, history tells us that freedom is seldom gained by asking for it; brave individuals die free. The pervasive corruption within the current U.S. government requires not reform but complete abolition. Organizing within our communities, alongside our brothers and sisters, we aim to live autonomously, shaping our lives to our best interests.
Now, let's delve deeper into the ideals and goals of The Rebels of the Sacred Earth. We recognize the imperative for citizens to fulfill their duty by abolishing the corruption that jeopardizes our future. Acknowledging the current government's tyrannical oppression and its lack of concern for our well-being, we reject cowardice and recognize that avoiding our duty is complicity in perpetuating immoral tyranny.
Our sole aim is to fulfill our duty to our country, expressing our inherent right to sovereignty. We seek liberation from oppression and corruption, desiring genuine freedom in the present moment. Our logical course is not to plead for freedom but to declare ourselves free individuals ready to defend that right even at the cost of our lives.
