Notice – I am running on back up power today due to being one of over 1 million Texas residents without power dealing with single digit temps. We have our generator running but doing a show with all there is to do plus the background noise makes doing a show impractical. We hope to return to regular programming tomorrow.
Today is an episode of TSP Rewind, commercial free versions of past podcast episodes.
Today’s episode was originally, Episode-985- From Pawn to Personal Sovereignty and was first published on September 25, 2012. The show notes below are the original notes published on that date.
I chose the title today in spite of the wackos at the fringe of the “sovereign citizen movement”, not because of them. In may ways those people have polluted the concept of personal sovereignty but no other phrase really applies to what I want to discuss with you today.
Personal sovereignty basically means “self ownership” and as such is much larger then any political statement. Someone who truly lives their life based on self ownership must carry far more responsibility then just telling others that they won’t do as commanded.
If You Wish to be Free – First Understand You are a Pawn
The individual sovereign much accept that if they fail the failure is theirs and it will be up to them to get up and try again. They realize any help by any other party will be voluntarily and not something they are entitled to.
They will carry a burden that due to this they must also have a responsibility to help others in need, to do what is right for simply the sake of right. They can’t rely on others to tell them when to give, what to give, how much to give or who deserves their help.
They must be responsible for themselves, their families, their communities and their nation as a whole. The problem is today, most people even those who believe they are “free” are pawns on a giant chess board. Just as the drug addict must first admit to being a drug addict before he can become free of drugs, so must we admit first that we are pawns if we wish to claim our birth rights of personal sovereignty.

Hey Jack, Brent in PEI. Following along with my buddy in the Austin area. They went to 6F (-15c). I see you are even colder at 4F (16c) We have not even had that yet this year. He is in Williamson County and going through rolling blackouts. He sent me a pic of a snow covered Agave, but I guess they are pretty tough. I was reading about the wind generators freezing, which is odd, since we have them up here with no freezing issues, unless they were a non winter rated type, dunno. Anyway all the best and I imagine the duck ponds are frozen solid
Great reminder. Thanks!
Hey Jack; the BBC are showing temperatures in your area are plunging. In Scotland we are just thawing from a week long freeze.
What measures did you take to prepare; how has your garden been affected? Are your fish okay?
An AAR would make a great show topic.
Hope you are all doing well, have a great day!
Texas Libertarians: “Texas is the only state that could realistically secede from the union because we have our own power grid.”
A little bit of typical winter weather for most of the country: “Yeah about that power grid…”
Here’s hoping you all get power back soon!
And TX didn’t put in so much wind due to Federal Mandates? The grid is not the problem, the generation is the problem.
Point taken but this is a little bit like me saying somebody was shot and killed by a gun and you pointing out it was the actually the bullet. While the details are important in order to remedy the issue in the future the larger point remains that Texas has proven itself to not be as energy self-sufficient as many believe. Looks like they are working on learning how to do rolling blackouts from California but during cold spells instead heatwaves.
