LOL I always laugh when I see people using the term "citizen"... but they have no idea what does it mean. Also "private citizen" is an oxymoron term. There's nothing private for a citizen. Citizen To understand the meaning of Citizen, we must first address the word State. Note: the word State is referring to your state of mind. Your state of mind has to be controlled to accept the legal fiction of government. A State is a legal corporation, set within a nation or territory, from which a political community controlled by a government reside. In basic terminology it is a business. A citizen is a person who owes allegiance to the State, and is entitled to “rights”, privileges and “protection”. Meaning that a citizen is an employee of the business called “The State”, and as an employee you have traded your freedom and rights, for privileges. Your status is now at the lowest level.
