16: reclaiming sovereignty: undoing the citizenship illusion with brandon joe williams
what if you were never actually a U.S. citizen... legally?
and what if your “identity” was tied to a contract you didn’t knowingly sign?
BUCKLE UP for a mind-bending, paradigm-warping conversation that invites you to question... everything. not from fear, but from sovereignty. especially when it comes to the unconscious contracts we enter into with systems we barely understand.
in this episode, i sit down with Brandon Joe Williams to explore:
the difference between state and federal citizenship
why the 14th Amendment changed everything (but maybe not how you think)
the legal definitions of “person,” “individual,” and “citizen”
how language has been weaponized to shape compliance and identity
and the ways we can break free from chains we didn't even know we had!
⚠️ PRO TIP: watch on YouTube to see brandon’s screen shares as he reads directly from legal documents and court cases (link to watch here).
