Hoodwinked Volume II looks at Biblical, English and American history to frame one's natural rights to property. In America, natural rights are inallenable, meaning they cannot be taken or given away, nor altered by any operation of government. To be valid, all laws must pass the "Due Process of the Law of the Land" test to assure that one's natural rights have not been tread upon by rogue government authorities. Yet today, without legal standing, municipalities use fear-of-confiscation to coerce citizens into abandoning their absolute, no-strings-attached rights to property, substituting limited, conditional rights encumbered by taxation and code strings. One no longer owns one's house absolutely. Instead, to keep your house, one must fulfill every tax and code condition deemed by the authorities.
