On this Saturday edition of the Radio Ranch, I open the lines for new and longtime listeners as we wade into a charged, freewheeling conversation about power, propaganda, and personal sovereignty. We debate the Epstein disclosures and media narratives, tussle over claims involving Trump and the courts, and dig into thorny distinctions like resident vs. residency, domicile, and how administrative procedure collides with common law ideals. From passports and political status to the role of affidavits, we explore how jurisdiction shapes everyday life. In the second half, we widen the lens: the dollar, de‑dollarization, BRICS talk vs. reality, SDRs, the Federal Reserve and Treasury, plus what a community‑first economy might look like. Callers share perspectives on geopolitics, courts, and practical self‑reliance—gardens, local trade, and building parallel options—while I keep the focus on learning, discernment, and constructive action.Fortnite (Epic Games): https://www.epicgames.com/fortniteU.S. Department of State — Passports & nationality resources: https://www.state.govU.S. Court of Federal Claims (official site): https://www.uscfc.uscourts.govCalifornia Franchise Tax Board — Residency status overview (Title 18/CCR context): https://www.ftb.ca.gov/file/personal/residency-status/index.htmlMinnesota Department of Revenue — Residency information: https://www.revenue.state.mn.us/residency-informationVattel, The Law of Nations (Liberty Fund edition): https://oll.libertyfund.org/title/vattel-the-law-of-nations-lf-edInternational Monetary Fund — Special Drawing Rights (SDR) factsheet: https://www.imf.org/en/About/Factsheets/Sheets/2016/08/02/19/55/Special-Drawing-Right-SDRFederal Reserve — Board of Governors: https://www.federalreserve.govRumble (video platform): https://rumble.comItchy Boots (motorcycle travel channel referenced by a caller): https://www.youtube.com/c/ItchyBootsGeoengineering Watch (Dane Wigington): https://www.geoengineeringwatch.orgBlack’s Law Dictionary (Thomson Reuters): https://legal.thomsonreuters.com/en/products/blacks-law-dictionary
