Send us fan responses! What if everything you thought you knew about your legal identity was actually designed to limit your financial sovereignty? Don Kilam pulls back the curtain on a system few truly understand: how courts, banks, and governments use your name as a financial instrument.This eye-opening exploration takes you through the historical roots of admiralty jurisdiction, explaining how the Cesti Que Vie Act effectively declared individuals "lost at sea," allowing governments to assume custody of people and property. You'll discover why your name appears in all capital letters on official documents and how this represents not you as a living being but a legal entity functioning as a "special purpose vehicle."Kilam meticulously connects the dots between the Social Security Trust Fund, where citizens function only as beneficiaries rather than trustees, and how courts operate as banks—complete with judges sitting on "banks" and clerks functioning as CPAs for your legal identity. Most importantly, he reveals how GSA bond forms can be used to reclaim your position in this legal-financial framework.Whether you're struggling with court cases, seeking financial sovereignty, or simply curious about the hidden mechanics of our legal system, this episode provides practical knowledge you won't find in conventional education. Learn how to transform from a mere beneficiary of a public trust to a position more akin to a trustee with greater control over your financial affairs.Ready to take control of your legal and financial identity? Text "Private Life" to 702-200-4900 or join Kilam's upcoming in-depth class on July 23, 2025, where he'll explain these concepts in greater detail.

It's not often talked about in our culture today, but we can experience both God's intervention in our lives and the consequences of our sin. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the anointing of King Saul over Israel in the book of 1 Samuel. He shares how the Israelites chose complaints over godliness, and how Samuel was obedient to the Lord even through rejection. The history of Israel teaches us many lessons, and in this chapter, we get to reflect on the condition of our hearts—so let's practice repentance and strive to honor God daily.
Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice.” One of the most essential skills we can cultivate is knowing God's voice and listening to Him. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the choice each generation has to align with God and learn to listen. Pastor Allen teaches from the book of 1 Samuel, where he shares lessons in topics like parenting, thankfulness, listening, and rejection. He gives us five steps we can begin to implement today to grow our listening skills, and we learn from the people of Israel the importance of joy over complaining. We each have a choice to make. Will we choose to know God?
Send us fan responses! Dive deep into the hidden world of Treasury Direct Accounts and discover how to access the securities and bonds created through your identity that you never knew existed. Don Kalam pulls back the curtain on the fundamental distinction between operating in the public sector versus the private sector, revealing why understanding this difference is the key to financial sovereignty.The journey begins with status correction – a process that updates your political standing and removes you from the presumptions of being a U.S. citizen in the public system. As Don explains, "Private families create the government," not the other way around, and reclaiming your private status is essential before attempting to access your Treasury Direct Account.Through detailed explanations of CUSIP numbers, securitization audits, and the proper establishment of trust and brokerage accounts, Don demonstrates how securities connected to your Social Security number can be identified and claimed. Rather than attempting to discharge debts (which Don strongly warns against), he advocates for a sophisticated approach to wealth building: making your name a business."Your whole life is a deductible," Don emphasizes, sharing how business expenses, stipends, and fringe benefits can generate substantial tax credits – up to $250,000 annually and $2.5 million over five years. This strategy transforms everyday expenses into business deductions while operating honorably within the system.Ready to transform your financial understanding and access resources you never knew you had? This episode provides the roadmap to operate as a private citizen and take control of the securities and bonds created through your identity. Don't miss these game-changing insights that wealthy families have used for generations.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

Send us fan responses! Ever wondered why some people never seem to win in court despite having strong cases? The answer lies in a hidden system of securitization that affects every aspect of our legal process—a system that Don Kilam fearlessly exposes in this eye-opening episode.From a luxurious LA penthouse with sweeping city views, Kilam pulls back the curtain on how courts actually function as sophisticated debt collection operations. He meticulously breaks down the bond system used by courts, explaining how bid bonds, performance bonds, and payment bonds create the financial framework that turns defendants into commodities. "Every time you put your signature on a piece of paper, you are creating a negotiable instrument," Kilam reveals, highlighting how our signatures become valuable commercial paper that gets monetized without our knowledge.Perhaps most shocking is Kilam's explanation of the prison-industrial complex's true nature. When defendants go into default judgment by failing to respond correctly to charges (which are actually commercial terms), these judgments are sold to reinsurance companies and eventually converted into mortgage-backed securities traded on international markets. Companies like Corrections Corporation of America make millions by contracting with federal prisons, creating a profit incentive for incarceration that few understand.But this episode isn't just about exposing problems—it offers solutions. Kalam provides specific strategies for winning in court by understanding and using this commercial framework to your advantage. He outlines exactly which government forms to file, how to make conditional acceptances, and why requesting "full settlement and closure of the account" can be more effective than traditional legal arguments. "You're the principal and the owner of the account," he emphasizes. "Tell them what to do."Want to master these powerful techniques and reclaim your sovereignty?

John discusses Trump announcing workplace rules that stand to make it easier for federal employees to pressure their colleagues to convert to their religion of choice. He also talks about the Senate voting to confirm Emil Bove as a judge on the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, granting a lifetime appointment to Trump's former personal lawyer. Then, he jokes with actor, director, and podcast star Bob Cesca about the Jeffrey Epstein debacle and of course current movies and Star Trek shows. Next, John speaks with The God Squad featuring former pastor Desimber Rose and theologian Dillan Naber Cruz. They talk about Trump's new Christian work place rules and other disruptions to the separation of church and state. Then finally, he chats with legal analyst Dr. Tracy Pearson and they take calls from the Evil Army of the Night on Emil Bove, Jeffrey Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us fan responses! The baptismal certificate might be the most overlooked yet powerful document when establishing your legal identity and navigating commercial systems. Don Kilam breaks down how this spiritual record serves a crucial legal purpose that few understand.Right from his penthouse, Kilam explains that baptismal certificates allow you to enter the system as a foreigner when attached to a W8BEN form. Without this ecclesiastical recognition, you're considered a "rogue vessel" lacking jurisdiction – essentially a pirate ship adrift in legal waters. The certificate formally recognizes your vessel (legal identity) within ecclesiastical courts, granting authority that can override state jurisdictions.Understanding the distinction between maritime and admiralty law reveals how consent is gained through contracts. Your Christian name on the birth certificate differs from your spiritual name on the baptismal certificate – a critical separation that establishes different identities for different jurisdictions. Kilam shares how wealthy families like the Kardashians leverage these concepts through private ministry trusts (508C1A) that appear as nonprofits but operate with significant advantages.For those with foreign nationality, this framework provides strategic options. As Kalam advises during the Q&A session with a Haitian woman, maintaining foreign status while in America offers unique benefits. "Every church is a tribe, every church is a government," he explains, highlighting how ecclesiastical structures create alternative jurisdictions outside conventional state control.

Send us fan responses! What if everything you understand about your relationship with "the system" is fundamentally backward? Don Kilam cuts through confusion with razor-sharp clarity in this eye-opening exploration of public trusts, private sovereignty, and the hidden mechanisms that govern our daily lives.The uncomfortable truth is that our everyday actions—using a Social Security number, registering vehicles, obtaining licenses, even paying utility bills—represent continued access to a public trust system most don't realize exists. "You're using it every day," Don explains, revealing how our labor provides the value that funds public trusts established through legislation. "Private creates public. Private family businesses create corporate America," he states, highlighting how government entities are ultimately controlled by private interests operating behind the scenes.Drawing from street wisdom and legal knowledge, Don challenges listeners to recognize their position as trustees rather than beneficiaries in this system. He breaks down why the "government name" concept matters, explaining that in America, "you can do business as whoever you want," yet most people never exercise this right because they don't understand trust law or contract law. This discussion previews themes from his forthcoming book "United States of Pimping," which bridges street culture insights with corporate realities.Ready to transform your understanding of sovereignty and reclaim your private life?

The IRS recently decided that it's perfectly fine for churches and other houses of worship to endorse candidates, upending 70 years of established law. It's just one of the ways the Christian right and the Republican Party have successfully demolished the separation of church and state, which we used to think was a central pillar of the American political system. Paul discusses the carnage with Sarah Posner, author of Unholy: How White Christian Nationalists Powered the Trump Presidency, and the Devastating Legacy They Left Behind.
Send us fan responses! The journey toward legal sovereignty begins with a profound realization – your name is not you. In this eye-opening conversation, Don Kilam walks through the practical steps of separating your natural person from the corporate entity that bears your name, revealing how this fundamental distinction can shield you from overreaching legal jurisdiction.At the heart of status correction lies a powerful strategy: converting your name into a business entity. "My basic status correction is making your name a business," Don explains, demonstrating how this approach creates a buffer between your living self and the legal realm. When your name operates as an LLC or unincorporated association, you position yourself as the administrator rather than subjecting your natural person to courts that lack legitimate jurisdiction over living beings.The discussion unveils how the current legal system has inverted natural authority. Families once created governments, not the other way around. Don showcases how establishing proper documentation through "Family Bibles" (essentially meeting minutes for your family) restores this natural order. These private records establish your identity outside government-issued birth certificates, which create what Don calls a "civil death" – rendering you property in the eyes of administrative courts.Perhaps most revealing is Don's breakdown of ecclesiastical jurisdiction. Courts operate under canon law (explaining why judges wear robes similar to religious figures), and attorneys hold bar cards representing membership in private associations rather than actual licenses to practice law. "There is no such thing as a license to practice law," Don emphasizes, exposing why attorneys can only represent property, not living people.Through real examples, including dismissed child support cases and courtroom victories, Don demonstrates these principles in action. He shares practical affidavit templates, status correction resources, and strategies for navigating confrontations with a system designed to confuse your identity with a corporate entity.Ready to reclaim your natural personhood and understand the true boundaries of legal jurisdiction? This conversation offers the roadmap and tools to begin your journey toward sovereignty.In "United States Of Pimpin'," Don Kilam shares his perceptions from his street culture to explain the corporate world in a way that may feel uncomfortable yet brutally honest.

Send us fan responses! Are you operating as a sovereign individual or unwittingly functioning as government property? The answer lies in understanding the critical difference between nationality and citizenship—a distinction that fundamentally changes how you interact with the economic and legal systems surrounding you.Don Kilam delivers a powerful breakdown of how Americans have been systematically placed under government control through elaborate legal structures most never question. He reveals the stark contrast between informed families who understand their inherent rights as nationals and uninformed families who operate solely as citizens within the public sector."When you're getting public housing, public assistance—if you're getting these things, you're a product of the government. The government owns you," Kilam explains with remarkable clarity. This ownership extends through your Social Security Trust, which actually funds an astonishing $24 trillion of the United States national debt. Every time you use your Social Security number, you subject yourself to countless taxes—even after death through estate taxes, which Kalam describes as "literally a tax on your right to transfer property when you die."The solution? Private family business trusts. Kalam breaks down how these legal entities provide protection from courts and creditors while establishing proper structures for wealth preservation. He distinguishes between legal title (your right to use assets) and equitable title (true ownership), explaining how most Americans only experience "beneficiary use" of their possessions rather than genuine ownership.What makes this knowledge so powerful is its practical application. Rather than merely identifying problems, Kilam provides actionable strategies for establishing private family business trusts that legitimately protect your assets and minimize unnecessary taxation. As he emphasizes throughout, "prosperity is your divine birthright"—but claiming that birthright requires understanding the system and positioning yourself to operate within the private sector.Ready to reclaim your financial sovereignty?

LTC Lee Robinson, USA, director of the U.S. Military Academy's American Politics Program and an academy professor in the Department of Social Sciences, joins the podcast to address questions like this. Hailing from Georgia and having graduated from West Point in 2000, Lee now teaches and researches topics like civil-military relations and organizational leadership. In this episode, Lee shares about the cadet ministry that takes place through USMA OCF, led by Field Staff Bob & Tracy Phillips, then dives into complex topics ranging from balancing personal and professional choices to studying the United States' historical approach to religion. If you would like to share your own story, complete the form on OCF's “Be a Guest” webpage. Alternatively, if you have an idea for a guest or topic we should consider for a future episode of the show, send an email to podcast@ocfusa.org. https://www.ocfusa.org/podcastguest/ POINTS TO PONDER As you listen to this conversation with Lee, here are a few questions to ponder in your personal time, with a small group, or with a mentor: Why is it important to understand the historical context of the First Amendment? How does the vague language of the First Amendment impact us today? As you listen to Lee's example of the company commander with the cross on his desk, how would you respond if you were in Lee's position? How do you think you balance your private and public personas? What do you learn from Jesus' example of rejecting political power? “In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things charity.” How does this quote from seventeenth-century German Lutheran theologian Rupertus Meldenius tie into today's conversation? In what ways can your life be an example of the gospel and the work of Christ? What Scriptures shape your leadership philosophy, even in ways that might be subtle to the non-believer? Where's the line between encouraging religion and morality and compelling it? What can we learn from the Founding Fathers as they faced tension and disagreement regarding the government's approach to religion? Lee explains that "liberty is freedom to follow laws and freedom of conscience." What are your thoughts on this definition? Why is it important to understand not only what the Constitution says but also why it says what it does?
Last month, President Donald Trump openly questioned the separation of church and state during the establishment of the Presidential Commission on Religious Liberty.

Donald Trump's new Commission on Religious Liberty met last week for the first time.When Trump signed the executive order in May establishing the group, he marked the occasion by saying, "We're bringing religion back to our country, and it's a big deal."But isn't the separation of church and state guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution? Can the president just "forget about it" even once? We discuss the complicated answer.Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast. Have questions?

In this episode of Uncommon Sense, we're talking about Tucker Carlson's highly discussed interview with Senator Ted Cruz. I'll be sharing my honest thoughts on how it went, why I think Tucker came out ahead, and what this kind of bold, unscripted, and unapologetically frank conversation means for the future of political discourse (spoiler: I'm all for it).We'll go into why I support constructive confrontation—yes, even when it gets "mean" and uncomfortable. The Founding Fathers didn't tiptoe around the truth, so why should we? They debated passionately because the stakes were high. The polite punditry act is wearing thin, and people are tired of political puppets mouthing safe lines. They're craving what we saw here: real conviction, real disagreement, and real questions.We'll cover why I believe Tucker won this exchange: from his biblical literacy to his serious concerns about foreign lobbying groups like AIPAC having a hand in U.S. policy. Ted got visibly nervous when pressed about Scripture, about Israel, and about U.S. involvement in a possible war with Iran. And the question still lingers: Why are we only now suddenly being pushed to act, when Trump was reportedly targeted by Iran two years ago?Most importantly, we'll reflect on Tucker's question—a theological one with deep political ramifications: Who is the real Israel according to God? Is it the modern state that does not believe Jesus is Lord and historically has required a denial of Christ for Jewish returnees? Or is it the true church—those who belong to Christ?I'll share my belief unapologetically: Israel is the body of believers in Jesus Christ. Not those who reject Him. Not those who crucified Him. That's a hard truth, but a necessary one in these last days when clarity very much matters.Faith shouldn't be a popularity contest.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOorwAVEYslTlOGA-36_bHHjruNDOebEKWQ6M2115NZZwL8WG_ali

Send us fan responses! The relationship between your identity and true wealth runs far deeper than most people realize. In this explosive session, Don Kilam shatters conventional financial wisdom by revealing a fundamental truth: "You are the bag, you are the money." This isn't metaphorical—it's literal within the legal framework that governs commerce and identity.Kilam meticulously deconstructs the legal distinctions between a "national" and a "US citizen," citing specific statutes like 8 USC 1408 and 15 USC 4724E1 that explicitly define United States citizens as business entities. When you understand that "ownership means liability" and that the entire documentation system functions as a form of contractual magic binding your natural person to commercial obligations, you begin to see why most people struggle financially despite working within the system.The most powerful revelation comes when Kilam explains how private families created governments—not the reverse—and how these established families continue to operate from a position of true sovereignty while the public operates as "peasants" within a system they didn't design. By examining historical figures like Mansa Musa (the wealthiest person to ever live) and the destruction of his legacy through bloodline disruption, we see why establishing your name as a private business entity matters for creating lasting generational wealth.This isn't just about money—it's about reclaiming your birthright. The wisdom shared here challenges listeners to stop functioning as beneficiaries and start operating as trustees of their own commercial identity. As Kilam passionately explains, "A natural person doesn't need a birth certificate" because true sovereignty exists beyond public documentation systems.Ready to break free from financial servitude and learn how to operate in private?

6/13/25 - In today's world, abortion and euthanasia are promoted as “compassionate” choices - but in truth, they are grave evils that attack the very foundation of human dignity. Jim and Father Imbarrato unpack recent developments in the pro-life movement and examine how the rise of the culture of death has been fueled not only by moral confusion, but by a failure of leadership, especially among men in both the Church and civil society. We're calling on men to rise up with courage, conviction, and faith. The Church needs fathers, priests, and leaders who are unafraid to speak the truth, defend the innocent, and protect life at every stage from conception to natural death. The time for silence is over. The time for strong men anchored in truth, humility, and sacrificial love is now.

Today, we're taking a look at the unraveling mayhem situation in California, where Governor Gavin Newsom's failure to lead has allowed chaos to run absolutely wild. Violent riots involving illegal immigrants (most of whom are military-aged men) are breaking out across the state. These individuals are not assimilating, they are disrupting, demanding, and waving foreign flags while burning ours on American soil. As California spirals, it's no surprise that federal intervention has become necessary. President Trump has stepped in where state "leadership" would not. This really isn't about politics, it's about preserving order, protecting citizens, and upholding the rule of law. We are a people who serve a God of justice, not disorder. What's happening is not compassionate, it's destabilizing. California deserves better, and America must wake up before this becomes the norm nationwide. God forbid. Let's talk about what's really going on in California and why prayer, truth, and resolve are crucial right now.--https://www.thebrandsunday.com/products/the-bible-study-physical?srsltid=AfmBOoqJuDPZk6H7VWSxgepSo3RWAJCtIGO9wrHmULH1iMgxSzkJ791_--Order CULTure: https://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/SLYWFXAB6479S
Send us fan responses! Ever wondered why some families build wealth for generations while others struggle despite hard work? The answer lies in understanding the game of personhood most people never learn.Don Kilam pulls back the curtain on how the legal system classifies individuals through what he calls "amalgamation" - the merging of natural and legal personhood that happens when your name appears in all capital letters on official documents. This isn't random formatting but designates your name as a business entity, creating the foundation for how you're treated within commerce and taxation.While most of us operate with our Social Security numbers as our primary identifier, private families have long understood how to navigate around these limitations. They establish trusts that protect assets and transfer wealth tax-free across generations - explaining the origin of "trust fund babies." Meanwhile, public families unknowingly participate in what Kalam describes as "the public trust fund" through Social Security, subjecting themselves to taxation most could legally avoid with proper knowledge.The most profound revelation comes when Kalam explains that the United States is legally defined as a "federal corporation" (28 USC 3002, section 15A), making citizenship equivalent to participation in a business structure. This corporate framework explains why your last name represents more than just family lineage - it's intellectual property and a potential business asset when structured correctly.For those tired of living paycheck to paycheck while others seem to effortlessly preserve wealth, this episode provides the first glimpse into how informed families operate differently than uninformed ones. The difference isn't just about income but about structure - creating separate entities that receive money for your family rather than having individuals directly receive income.Ready to break free from financial limitations and learn how prosperity is your divine birthright?

Send us fan responses! What if everything you thought you knew about the legal and financial systems was designed to keep you trapped in an invisible matrix? That's the provocative question at the heart of Don Kalam's philosophy, which we unpack in this mind-expanding episode.We dive deep into Kalam's controversial "unplugging from the matrix" concept from his Dream Keepers radio podcast, exploring alternative perspectives on law, finance, and personal sovereignty that exist at the fringes of mainstream thought. From the fascinating "straw man theory" (the idea that the government creates a corporate entity in your name at birth) to the ancient Roman concept of "Capitis Diminutio Maxima" and its supposed connection to the use of all-capital letters in legal documents, we examine these unconventional ideas with both curiosity and critical thinking.The episode also unpacks the "letter rogatory" and its bold claims about courts functioning as for-profit corporations rather than institutions of justice. We discuss why these ideas appeal to people who feel disenfranchised by complex systems they don't fully understand, while also highlighting the potential risks of taking these concepts at face value without proper legal consultation.What emerges from our discussion isn't necessarily a roadmap for "escaping the system," but rather an invitation to develop critical awareness about the structures that shape our lives. The real value may not be in the specific actions Kalam recommends, but in how he encourages listeners to question assumptions, conduct independent research, and become more engaged citizens. Whether you're intrigued or skeptical, this conversation will leave you thinking more deeply about personal sovereignty and institutional transparency in an increasingly complex world.Ready to challenge your assumptions? Listen now, and don't forget to share your thoughts on these provocative theories. Which aspects make you curious to learn more, and which ones set off your skepticism alarm?
