Episode 108

Part eight of another mind-map ramble with Miriam. We continue to discuss the "magickal" nature of law, in particular in connection with the so-called "Freeman" movement. Based on some talks I'd seen years ago by the movement's best known advocate, John Harris, I outline the connections between common, contractual and statute (Parliamentary law) and the extended legal notion of "corporations" (which supposedly includes individuals, unbeknownst to most of them). This leads to a memory of Rob Christopher (a.k.a. "Free Rob Cannabis", "Free Love Cannabis"), his attempts to challenge the Queen legally over "Her" government's cannabis prohibition law and how that went down in court.
