Radio Ranch with Roger Sayles 021926 LIVE,,Paper Shields and First Principles: Vattel, FIRPTA, and Fighting Administrative Overreach

On today’s show from the Radio Ranch (Thursday, February 19), I open with where you can currently hear our mirror stream and then dive straight into a wide‑ranging, unscripted conversation about the global moment we’re living through. We react to fast‑moving headlines and claims surrounding Israel–Iran, Ukraine, and the ongoing Epstein document releases, and I challenge listeners to sharpen discernment amid nonstop narratives. We also welcome new listeners and field live call‑ins that push and pull on tough questions—sometimes heated, always candid—about media, power, and what it takes to live free of the administrative state’s overreach. In the second half, we shift into practical education: status and jurisdiction (Vattel’s Law of Nations, expatriation, affidavits), abatement and due process in court, property/trust structuring, state vs. federal tax exposure (FIRPTA, Buck Act), and how to strengthen your paper trail. We close reflecting on faith, history, and sources—from Hillsdale’s constitutional resources to Dead Sea Scroll debates—and with a call to prepare locally, think clearly, pray for our leaders, and keep helping one another out of the matrix, one listener at a time.'Global Voice Radio Network': https://globalvoiceradio.net'RadioSoapbox': https://radiosoapbox.com'Euro Folk Radio': https://eurofolkradio.com'FreeConferenceCall' (listener call-in platform): https://www.freeconferencecall.com'Hillsdale College' (Constitution courses and Imprimis): https://www.hillsdale.edu'Imprimis' (Hillsdale speech digest): https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu'InfoWars' (referenced news show): https://www.infowars.com'The Cradle' (analysis outlet mentioned): https://thecradle.co'Danny Haiphong' (interviews referenced): https://www.youtube.com/@dannyhaiphong'Universal Declaration of Human Rights' (Article 15 on nationality): https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights'Vattel – The Law of Nations' (reference text): https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/vattel.asp'IRS – FIRPTA Withholding' (Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act): https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/firpta-withholding'Buck Act' (4 U.S.C. § 104 et seq.): https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/104'42 U.S.C. § 1982' (Property rights of citizens): https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/1982'Elk v.
