It is January 26, 2026.
Welcome to yestohellwith.com.
I have two videos about the same topic to share with you. The first uses humor to make a point and to perhaps make you slightly angry. The second video uses the same topic but is a perfect reinforcement of our recent series about authority, jurisdiction, status, standing and obligation. The more we process these concepts, the more familiar they become and the more we understand. I encourage you to watch both. Videos completely.
Finally, these videos demonstrate the universal application of the Liberty Dialogues in all countries. The concept of jurisdiction is universal. The Liberty Dialogues are not in New Zealand, Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden and more. People are eager to learn about how governments truly operate and who they are as individuals and how to engage governments more constructively and effectively.
The Liberty Dialogues are now a separate offering on jamesbowersjohnson.com as a 3 volume series at a 17% discount. This series will change you perspective and approach to government generally.
Let’s begin: In Britain, they now require that citizens must register either flocks of chickens or even one chicken.
When most people hear that, they think:
“It’s just a bird.”
“It’s just a form.”
“It’s for public health.”
But that’s not how administrative systems grow.
Systems grow by turning private life into categories,
and then turning categories into control.
So let me explain it using plain language—
and words the English language already gave us.
FIRST: THE WORDS ARE REAL
For example, A donkey is called an ass.
A rooster is called a cock.
A young hen is called a pullet.
And yes—a cat can be called a pussy cat.
Those are real words with real meanings.
Now watch what happens when government paperwork meets human psychology.
Imagine the government announces a new “safety” policy:
“If you have an ass (a donkey), you must register.”
“If you have a cock (a rooster), you must register.”
“If you have a pullet (a young hen), you must register.”
“If you have a pussy cat (a cat), you must register.”
And instantly, people panic and say:
“Well… I have one of those. I guess I better comply.”
Not because anyone proved authority.
Not because anyone established jurisdiction.
Not because obligation was proven.
But because the system used a simple mechanism which is self-reporting.
And once you register, something changes.
You don’t just “own an animal” anymore.
You become a keeper.
A file.
A number.
A regulated subject.
Now here comes the real trick.
Once the registry exists, the system doesn’t even need you to have the animal.
It only needs you to identify as the category.
And here’s where it gets even more dangerous over time.
Because over the years, people lose touch with the original meanings of words…
and they lose touch with the original purpose of the law until they do not know anything at all about both law and its wording.
They stop remembering what words meant in the first place.
They stop asking what the category was designed to describe.
And instead, they inherit assumptions.
For example:
Most people have no sense whatsoever that a taxpayer is someone within federal jurisdiction—someone within the reach of a particular statutory scheme.
They don’t even know that distinction exists.
They never learned it.
Or worse—they were never allowed to learn it.
Because from childhood forward, they are trained by the mainstream conversationalists of life:
Parents.
Teachers.
Officials.
Employers.
Accountants.
Media.
And the message is always the same:
“You have to file.”
“You’re a taxpayer.”
“That’s just how it is.”
“Everyone does it.”
“Don’t ask questions.”
So they don’t treat “taxpayer” as a defined term.
They treat it as an identity.
A label.
A role they were born into and readily accepted.
And that is exactly how people get captured by registries.
Because the registry doesn’t need force.
It needs forgetfulness or abject ignorance. When a culture and people are subdued for whatever reason, they become ignorant, apathetic, and fearful. They become obedient to a system that does not even apply to them.
The system needs people to lose the ability to distinguish between:
And this is the same with chickens, roosters, cats, and donkeys.
If you lose sight of what registration is doing…
if you forget why the law exists…
if you forget what the words originally meant…
Then eventually you don’t just register the animal.
You become the animal.
You identify as the category.
You become the ass.
The cock.
The pullet.
Or the pussy cat.
And once you accept the category as “who you are,” the system no longer needs proof. It acts upon presumption.
Because you’ve already handed them the only thing they need:
your self-identification on paper.
NOW CONNECT IT TO THE TAX RETURN
This is the exact mechanism behind the federal income tax scheme.
Most people think filing is “just reporting income.”
No.
Functionally, filing is registering yourself into the system.
It is you signing a document that says:
“I identify as the regulated subject.”
“I identify as the filer.”
“I identify as the taxpayer.”
“I identify as someone within the framework.”
And once you do that, the system doesn’t have to prove jurisdiction first.
Because you just volunteered into the category.
You created the footprint.
You gave them the record.
This is why the order matters:
Authority first.
Jurisdiction second.
Status third.
Standing fourth.
Obligation last.
Because if you start with obligation—
if you start with “What do I owe?”—
you’ve already accepted the category.
You’ve already registered yourself.
So yes—Britain is registering chickens.
But the deeper lesson is universal:
The system expands by getting people to volunteer into categories.
First by what they have.
Then by what they identify as.
And once you accept the category…
you will be treated accordingly.
The bottom line is that you are either a donkey or taxpayer, or you are a free man or woman with the awareness and knowledge, wisdom and truth to remain so
Send this to someone who still thinks filing is “just paperwork.”
