## Resource

This episode is part of Set #07 which Aired from March 24th, 1994 to June 30th, 1994 In this broadcast of "The Hour of the Time," William Cooper presents a leaked government memorandum as evidence of a clandestine effort to monitor and regulate the private activities of American citizens. The document outlines a comprehensive survey of gun shows conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), which Cooper interprets as a direct assault on the Second Amendment and the inherent rights of the people. Transitioning from specific firearms issues to broader legal philosophy, Cooper utilizes a litany of Supreme Court precedents to argue that fundamental liberties, such as the right to labor and own property, are unalienable gifts from the Creator that cannot be taxed or licensed by the state. He contends that contemporary legal structures, including the income tax and professional licensing , are actually voluntary or unconstitutional impositions designed to reduce sovereign individuals to the status of subjects or wards of the court . Ultimately, the text serves as a revolutionary call to action , urging listeners to reject government overreach, reclaim their status as sovereign citizens , and organize into local militias to defend the "royal law" of liberty.
