'Knowing your rights' is implicit in having such rights acknowledged. Ignorance in law is NEVER an excuse. That goes for you as much as those  trying to curtail your rights and freedoms. Knowing that and what you consent to is imperative. When so many, for instance, merely click through the Ts&Cs of online social environments or apps, they consent without reading the small print - that is implicit consent . At a later date complaining of this and that, well, they never did due diligence and are liable. Finding you royally stitched up is no defence. That is a very good metaphor for life lived by us all. That no one told you so, is no one else's responsibility than yours. When you were old enough you refused to enquire.  Failure to respond within a given window in law is deemed consent. This, down the line will be the major key to your own freedom, even though it has screwed you your whole life!

Knowing your enemy is as old a rule as any in war, encounter, hostile take over or government, authority or power of whatever colour.

To quote Sun Tzu "If you know your enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles"

Recognising the government, their criminal blood leeching ways to screw you left, right and every which way and then coming to realise their power is only in place through your ignorance and blind cooperation, is the single most potent platform to begin from. Any authority that seeks ascendency over you is not only impotent but also criminally treasonous, if it seeks to do you harm. The word treason will come to be found to have meaning as sharp as sharks' teeth when countering their perfidious nature. They will also be the very same teeth you employ to cut their legal carotid artery. Playing their playbook back at them will stifle all resistance. It is that powerful, and its values hand you back the power of Common Law like no other! It is all about using their Contract Law, to defeat them. Its teeth, properly served are invincible.

The legal way is not only the way they utilise, but it is also the most feared response against them. Correctly employed, they will never expect you to come at them with it. Its power in the way you utilise it, is omnipotent. It break every bone in their defence body. It will, as its outcome, make you a truly Sovereign Being against the Dark Side.

It is important to know, learn and inwardly digest the hierarchy of power. From your present position it may look like a top heavy, in their favour, impossible summit to ascend. When ill equipped most challenges do look that way. That is why it is advised to clear, as you would your hard drive, every one of your preconceptions, assumptions and all that you have been indoctrinated into. Everything you have been taught has been wrong! Everything is upside down.

The learning curve you are about to launch onto has never been in your ken - ever before. That does not mean you will be incapable of learning through it. Quite the opposite...

I can offer you an illustrative diagrammatic of the hierarchy of legal power but that will no way ease the work ahead. What it will do, is furnish you with the knowledge that what is being initiated is utterly surmountable, ABSOLUTELY. How can I say that so assuredly? Because it has already been achieved. FACT - For anyone with desire, dedication and application you will be contesting on a playing field, at least best, equal and at default best - on a higher one!

Simply follow all the steps needed. Whenever you are presented with an edict, a notice of reprimand, court appearance, etc, then you draw on the way of defence you learn here. Knowledge is truly power. It never needs the gravy train of legal teams, all it requires is a pen, a fearless nature and a determination to bring down false gods, power and tyranny. If you still believe that the Gates' or Rothschilds of this world are too powerful then, please go back to sleep. Your spine is still undeveloped. If you believe the opposite, then learn and learn fast and furiously.  You will also come to learn the creative brilliance of the Magic Money Tree, you have been told does not exist.  When confronted by their own means to creating that fiction - money, they will be only too aware how shafted they have become. Think about it - when you are creating money the way they do, you will become master. The secret is to use that means for the good of all, not to stash it into some hidden account, where you just gloat over it. Much more will be revealed you, mostly by your own hand, ear and eye.
Strength! 
Develop self-belief and for your own good, get rid of all that tells you it is - Impossible - remember this is THE seminal point in history for us all. Nothing is impossible most especially when it has already been made possible - let that sink in.

By Reading, Learning Inwardly Digesting: then Reading Learning and Inwardly Digesting, then focus your attention on there being no law greater than your sovereign being. There are no failures. Drain yourself of everything you think you know, it's surplus to requirements. You need create space for it to refill with knowledge.
