Do government officials have an insurance policy?

The Insurance Policy Behind Government Power

It is April 11th. Welcome to YesToHellWith.com.

In the last video, we discussed the oath. Today we discuss the bond.

Most people have never heard of a public official bond. And that is exactly why it matters.

A bond is not the same thing as an oath.

The oath is the promise. The bond is the insurance policy.

A public official bond is usually issued by a surety company. It is intended to protect the public from misconduct, dishonesty, negligence, or failure to perform official duties.

In other words, the bond exists because even the government knows that officials sometimes act improperly.

Many officials are required by state law to have a bond before entering office.

This often includes: - Sheriffs - County treasurers - Tax collectors - Clerks of court - Recorders - Constables - Public administrators - Sometimes judges and prosecutors

The Liberty Dialogues asks a very simple question:

If the official was required to have a bond, and no bond exists, then on what basis are we presuming the lawful exercise of authority?

Remember the LD order.

Before enforcement comes obligation. Before obligation comes standing. Before standing comes status. Before status comes jurisdiction. Before jurisdiction comes authority.

And the oath and bond go directly to authority.

Suppose a sheriff seizes property. Suppose a clerk refuses to file a document. Suppose a judge acts before taking the required oath.

The first reaction of most people is to argue about the result.

But the Liberty Dialogues teaches that you should instead investigate the foundation.

Did this person even have the lawful capacity to act?

The bond may answer that question.

The bond usually identifies: - The official - The office - The surety company - The bond number - The amount of coverage - The dates during which the bond was in effect

This is critical because if the official acted before the bond became effective—or after it expired—you may have discovered a major defect in authority.

The system depends upon presumption.

The Liberty Dialogues teaches you to replace presumption with documentation.

Do not merely say: “I think this official is not bonded.”

Get the record. Get the bond. Get the dates.

Then compare them to the conduct.

Because once again, the most dangerous thing to a presumptive system is a citizen with records.
