Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The first thing any potential buyer should know is that the bulk of the contents of this book are available for FREE online. Check out freedom-school dot com and scroll down the alphabetized list until you get to Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). So what the heck is this book about exactly? If you are like me and confused after reading the book’s description then read on. Essentially, The UCC Connection claims that the legal system is a sham and is designed to actually keep people subjugated. Hence, the book sets out to equip everyday people by educating them on “how the game is played” and then walking them through some defense strategies. Many people may be drawn to this book out of a desire to find out how not to pay income taxes or how to get out of traffic tickets (and these two items are discussed) but the overall aim of the book is much broader: it makes the case that civil authorities are tyrannical and that they manufacture their power based upon deception. One of the main tools of deceptive subjugation is a legal construct called the UCC (Universal Commercial Code). Under the UCC, it is presumed that you will meet all the obligations of an agreement even if you do not voluntarily consent, or even if you don’t know that you received a benefit. Hence, the book argues, civil authorities trap you by providing a “benefit” (like paper money or a driver’s license) and now compel you to do things (like pay taxes). The UCC stands in contrast to Common Law (also referred to as Natural Law). Under Common Law, in order for a charge to be brought, there must be a damaged party. Common Law cannot compel performance while the UCC can. Ultimately then, tyrannical systems work not by forcibly taking power, but by people surrendering their rights. The text is based on lectures that the late Howard Freeman gave in the 1990s, so it reads like a conversation. (Although, at times, the fluidity of the arguments feels fragmented). In the end, this book has sincere intent: it seeks to educate, inform and empower people so that they will open their eyes and thus not only be able to see things but also to see through things. There’s never anything negative to say about that.
