***{People have been trying to do that for years. Thug governments will
not give up their sovereignty for mere payments of money. (Hey, they

***{It doesn't work. All it would take would be one free country strong
enough to defend itself, and the entire global slave system would come
crashing down. Result: any overt attempt to establish such a country
will be crushed. That leaves two options: you establish a free country
out of sight and out of mind of the rulers of the global slave system,
or else you establish the fundamental structure of a free country in
their plain sight, but carefully conceal the ultimate purpose of what
you are doing. Option one requires a frontier; and option two requires
the creation of contract-based arbitration systems in multiple
locations, under myriad circumstances, with widely varying stated
purposes, all over the world, with the unstated intention of awaiting an
opportunity to assume sovereignty, and seizing it when it appears. At
present, with no frontier, option two is the only way to go. --MJ}***
