Automatic Voter Registration - Terrible News!

 

How The STATE OF MINNESOTA DRIVER AND VEHICLE SERVICES BUREAU Has Continued To Dig Itself A Deep Legal Pit as They Literally Misconstrue Everything You Are Doing 

By: James Allen Homyak, a retired free inhabitant 

September 19, 2026

Why is it that STATE OF MINNESOTA DRIVER AND VEHICLE SERVICES LICENSE BUREAU automatically locks a credential card address update application as registered voter and to then automatically or programmatically force the record to reflect Voter Yes for a state resident who DOES NOT request to become a registered voter? 

In fact in the midst of giving attention to the error right on the spot, a ridiculed frown came over the faces of nearby agents within earshot?

Why is it that the first request made at the STATE PUBLIC COUNTER to ask for information that belongs to neither the Applicant nor The State Actor who does not have a legitimate need to know? It's all a fraudulent attempt to assert consent where none had existed.

Why is it that a private individual is barred from developing another means of positive verification rather than information which presents FRAUD OF ITS FACE? It's all a fraudulent attempt to assert consent to being governed by bad public policy where none had existed as actual law at the outset.

Why is it that bringing up an articulate yet multi-faceted grievance to this call center (651) 201-7777 turns into deer in the headlights, stammering, delays, hold times and more ongoing ADMINISTRATION circle-jerk?

Under Minnesota law, the implementation of Automatic Voter Registration (AVR)—which was enacted by the state legislature (color of law) and signed into law (public policy) in 2023—fundamentally shifted how voter registration is handled during interactions with Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS). Rather than requiring applicants to proactively check an "opt-in" box when applying for or renewing a state-issued driver's license, instruction permit, or identification card, the system automatically initiates voter registration or updates for eligible individuals who provide citizenship-affirming documentation (such as a U.S. passport or birth certificate). Even if the Applicant claims to have evidence to prove U.S. Citizenship has never actually existed for 60 years of the man's life. Yet the evidence was not welcomed at this time. If fact the important detail was shunned by the inexperienced agent. 

This policy is designed to maximize voter access and keep voter rolls accurate by modernizing data transfer between state agencies.

Consequently, when a resident or free common man submits a credential card address update or renewal along with denial of qualifying citizenship documents, the system processes the record under the assumption of eligibility, placing the burden on the individual to affirmatively opt out after more leadtime to commit further commercial crime rather than to opt in.

To ensure that individuals who do not wish to be registered are not forced onto the voter rolls, the process includes several safeguards and multi-layered verification steps:

  • Opt-Out Notice: Once DVS transfers the verified information to the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State and county election officials, a written opt-out notice is mailed to the resident's address. Noting this amounts to thousands of dollars charged against STATE BUDGETS to manufacture more voters.
  • The 20-Day Window: If the recipient returns the opt-out form within 20 days, their registration is canceled, and they will not be added to the voter rolls. Where is to provision to fully uphold privacy laws by completely removing a NAME that does not consent to any of these shenanigans?
  • Post-Registration Controls: Even after registration is finalized, voters maintain the legal right to request that their voter record be inactivated at any time. This man giving rise to the controversy had done all of his permanent writing over 16 years ago. 

This Minnesotan man had became understandably agitated while cordially and firmly, demanding the reservations of all of his rights, over this flawed practice, pointing out several due process crimes and civil rights violations and voter registration fraud occuring on top of the following list:

1. Theft of identity for unrelated political purposes,

2. False claims in commerce aledging the Minnesotan consents to being governed by forcing the Minnesotan into a 20 day window to again withdraw any or all voter records beyond a mere inactivating a record. Holding of such record is adamantly DENIED and thus NEVER WANTED in the first place,

3. Aggravated voter fraud by construing a registered voter where none is present by intention, 

4. The license application process agent (ready to force this fraud by accepting a $26 fee) was able to revise, correct, edit, update and renew every data point available on the program-generated document such as height, weight, eye color, home address, medical alerts and more, yet was forced to leave "Voter Yes" in the database and in print, thus leaving the applicant no choice but to write a line through the word Yes, and manually ammend the document to read No.  Patron was asked, "Given your issues, are you still wanting to complete the transaction?" 

No! But we must finish so my basics are accurate.

Here comes my 72 hour rule and automatic cooling off period to resolve the matter or cancel. 

5. The non-registered voter applicant then demanded accountability for this misappropriation of public due process by requesting contact information to reach out to STATE OF MINNESOTA DMV. The applicant made two followup phone calls to this suggested agency head office. Agents answering the calls were clearly daised and confused as to how to allow the setting to be presented at the time of renewal and set back to 'Voter No' for a 60 year old man who wrote for statewide cancelation and revocation of voter registration and removal from the statewide voter registration databases permanently during January 2010. There was never intent to revise through automated assumptions. This is a crime to force these state actor crimes via tacit procuration.

Please consider helping USOA in our research into all Federal and state laws to make these offenses actionable.

To understand why some residents (THINGS IDENTIFIED) and lawmakers (code & statute purveyors as color of law) express concern over Minnesota's Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) system, it helps to examine how the mechanics of driver's licensing and voter databases intersect with constitutional principles.

When the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) and Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) transition from an "opt-in" model to an "opt-out" framework, critics and civil libertarians frequently raise questions regarding statutory authority, administrative error, and the protection of fundamental voting rights.

The friction points commonly cited by concerned citizens and legislative leaders generally revolve around administrative safeguards, constitutional due process, and database integrity:

  • Involuntary State Action and Presumed Consent: Critics argue that government agencies should not presume a citizen's intent regarding political speech or franchise participation. By defaulting a routine administrative task—such as updating a residential address on a driver's license—into a political act (voter registration), the state alters a person's public record without explicit, affirmative consent at the moment of the transaction. The state pierces its outer veil of sovereign immunity by stepping into a commercial procurement entity to manufacture voters.
  • Administrative Errors and False Positives: During the initial rollout of Minnesota's AVR system, state officials manually reviewed over 100,000 records and temporarily inactivated approximately some indeterminate number of those applications due to potential discrepancies in names, addresses, or citizenship verification. Critics point out that if such administrative hurdles or classification errors occur, they risk placing erroneous data onto official voter rolls, which can lead to voter confusion or provisional ballot complications at polling places.
  • Noncitizen Driver's Licenses and Eligibility Risks: Because Minnesota permits individuals regardless of immigration status to obtain standard driver's licenses, lawmakers and watchdogs have voiced concern that administrative cross-matching errors could mistakenly route non-U.S. citizens into the active voter database, creating vulnerabilities that require intensive backend auditing by state officials to rectify. A non-statutory unconsenting Minnesotan at birth is not even capable of consenting to become a statutory 14 Amendment or 16 Amendment U.S. Citizen, an act which requires a meeting of the minds with an individual which has reached age of majority and presented with full disclosure of the true nature of the commercial endeavor.
  • Due Process and Notice Timelines: While the state provides a 20-day mail-in window to opt out after registration data is processed, critics argue that relying on physical mail for notification opens the door to missed notices due to recent moves, postal delays, or household clutter, thereby enrolling individuals against their wishes before they are aware the action has taken place. Be sure to ensure this matter moves to LAND and SOIL jurisdictions by sending the opt-out by registered return receipt postal mailing.
  • Frightening our state men and women who very likely never take the time to question STATE OVEREACH and extra-judicial crimes.

The concern regarding the theft of identity for unrelated political purposes touches upon core debates surrounding data privacy, government overreach, and the compelled use of personal information.

When a state agency like DRIVER AND VEHICLE SERVICES (DVS) collects personal data—such as a resident's FULL LEGAL NAME, residential ADDRESS, date of birth, and citizenship or political status—that information is gathered under a mandatory administrative mandate required to legally operate a motor vehicle. It says noting at all about your private car which may actually be NOT FOR HIRE. Do some homework of your own to ensure we aren't hallucinating herein.

HOW SOON BEFORE YOU ENCOUNTER THE ACCUSATIONS THAT THESE ARE ALL FRIVOLOUS ARGUMENTS FOUND IN SOVEREIGN CITIZEN IDEOLOGIES?

According to legal scholars and privacy advocates who study administrative law, repurposing mandatory identity records for political activities like voter registration or political status declarations without explicit, affirmative consent introduces significant civil liberties concerns.

In legal treatises examining the boundaries of state power, scholars note that administrative data matching can blur the line between regulatory compliance and government surveillance or compelled speech. It also turns into multi-agency data sharing and commercialization of YOUR NAME thus re-enforcing YOUR BUSINESS STORE FRONT RESIDENCE MAILING ADDRESS held by the fully commercial United State Postsl Service and other follow-on business entities doing their marketing drives. 

When an individual private common man--who doesn't want his car impounded and his bodily function interfered with via the harassment of LEO PERSONNEL-- participates in the compelled buying of STATE ID CARDS, merely believing it must truthfully be some enacted and registered law on the books (vs. Legislative Fiat) that requires one to present at a Officer/ Stop/Encounter, as his sole reason to provide certain data solely to secure a driving credential, using that same data profile to automatically enroll them in a political database can be perceived by critics as a misappropriation of identity data—effectively using a citizen's compulsory administrative profile to populate a political status registry as one who gave written evidence granting unequivocal consent to being governed rather than a self-governing steward on the land or a free inhabitant.

From a constitutional standpoint, opponents argue that forcing citizens into a system where they must actively decline participation—rather than choose to join—infringes upon personal autonomy. The legal philosophy underpinning this grievance highlights several key issues:

Compelled Association: Critics argue that automatic registration bypasses individual volition, associating a citizen with a political franchise system and public party rolls (or general voter lists) without their direct, contemporaneous authorization.

Database Co-mingling: Merging high-security identification databases (used for driving privileges) with public voter rolls increases the exposure of sensitive personal records to third-party data requests, political campaigns, and public list-serves, raising fears of data exploitation.

Erosion of Consent: In standard consumer and administrative law, the collection of data for one specific purpose (licensing) generally requires explicit secondary consent before being leveraged for another purpose (political registration). Automatic "opt-out" models invert this standard, treating silence or administrative compliance as proxy consent.

A Silent Fight To Preserve Chain of Title over something THING the STATE ADMINISTRATION has actively collateralized: 

Once registered, (homes, cars, sons, daughters, business, assets, etc.)  all rights nearly and completely waived and switched to revocable or suspendable privileges! Is that what Minnesotans want our illustrious legislatures to be doing "for us" to accelerate the pilfering and equity stripping? The crime spree runs deep in state rackets.

The grievances concerning forced consent windows and manufactured voter records strike at the heart of administrative law and the legal definition of voter fraud. When a state agency automatically registers an individual who explicitly did not request or desire registration, critics argue that the state is engaging in a legal fiction: treating silence, administrative compliance, or an unread piece of mail as affirmative consent to enter the political franchise.

From a civil rights perspective, critics point out that placing the administrative burden entirely on the citizen—forcing them to jump through hoops within a strict 20-day window to reverse an action they never authorized—inverts the fundamental relationship between the individual and the state.

Instead of the government requiring permission to alter a citizen's public and political status, the citizen is forced to petition the government to undo an unwanted change. This creates what legal scholars describe as compelled participation, where the state presumes consent where none exists and treats a citizen's non-response as a legal agreement.

Furthermore, critics argue that this practice skirts dangerously close to institutionalized voter fraud by proxy. True voter registration relies on the intentional, volitional act of an eligible citizen choosing to place their name on the electoral rolls. When an administrative algorithm populates voter databases with individuals who had no intention of registering, the resulting registry contains records that do not reflect genuine civic participation. This inflates voter rolls with inactive or unwilling entries, undermining the core principle that public election lists should accurately and exclusively represent citizens who actively choose to exercise their right to vote.

When evaluating the systemic framework of Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) through the lens of strict civil liberties, critics and affected citizens frequently categorize these administrative actions not merely as policy disagreements, but as severe systemic overreaches. From a perspective emphasizing individual sovereignty, natural rights, and strict constitutional boundaries, the practices enforced by state motor vehicle and election agencies are alleged to constitute several distinct legal and ethical violations performed in plain sight under statutory cover.

Building upon the previous grievances regarding identity repurposing and manufactured consent, the comprehensive list of structural and legal infractions alleged by critics includes:

Misappropriation of Compulsory Government Data for Political Endorsement: 

Requiring citizens to submit private identifying information (such as birth certificates, social security numbers, and residential locations) solely for the purpose of obtaining a license to travel and drive, only to redirect that data to populate a political voter registry without explicit, contemporaneous consent.

Manufactured Presumption of Contractual Consent: 

Imposing an involuntary legal status (active voter registration) and forcing the private citizen into a reactive posture—requiring them to track down, complete, and return an opt-out notice within a rigid 20-day window just to undo an unrequested government action—violates foundational principles of contract and administrative due process.

Institutionalized Voter Record Fabrication: 

Systemically generating voter files for individuals who possess zero intent or desire to participate in the electoral franchise, thereby corrupting the empirical accuracy of voter rolls and converting administrative compliance into artificial civic participation.

Infringement on Freedom of Conscience and Political Association: 

By forcing citizens to actively opt out of a political database rather than choosing to opt in, the state penalizes passivity or privacy by enrolling individuals into political systems against their personal convictions, effectively compelling association with the electoral or jural apparatus.

When administrative systems enforce automatic status changes that override a citizen's explicit historical directives—such as a previous lifetime revocation or cancellation of voter registration—critics and legal analysts examine several intersecting state and federal statutes to determine potential legal remedies and accountability mechanisms.

The intersection of mandatory licensing data, automated bureaucratic overrides, and federal civil rights protections gives rise to potential claims under both Minnesota state law and federal statutes. While government agencies operate under statutory color of law via legislation like Minnesota's Automatic Voter Registration (AVR) framework, aggrieved citizens frequently look to the following legal frameworks when challenging involuntary administrative enrollment.

The specific federal and state laws and legal doctrines often cited in challenges against compelled administrative actions include:

Federal Civil Rights Act (42 U.S.C. § 1983): 

This statute provides a civil remedy against any person who, under color of state law, subjects a citizen of Minnesota state, who also administratively cancelled contrived United States Citizenship years ago, to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured by the 50 State Constitution and 3 Federal Constitutions, state and federal laws. Litigants argue that forcing unwanted political association or ignoring prior formal voter revocations violates First Amendment protections against compelled speech and association, as well as Fourteenth Amendment due process rights.

Federal Criminal Civil Rights Statutes (18 U.S.C. § 241 and § 242): 

These provisions prohibit conspiracies against rights (section 241) and the deprivation of rights under color of law (section 242). While traditionally applied to egregious law enforcement misconduct, legal purists argue that intentional, systematic override of citizen records by state actors to fabricate false public statuses can theoretically be tested under the broad definitions of official oppression under color of law.

The Minnesota Government Data Practices Act (Minn. Stat. Chapter 13): 

Minnesota maintains rigorous statutory controls regarding how state agencies collect, store, and disseminate private and public data. Under state data practices law, individuals have the right to contest the accuracy and completeness of public data maintained about them by government entities. If an agency knowingly maintains or generates inaccurate public records (such as falsely marking an individual as an active voter despite a prior permanent cancellation), it can form the basis for a formal data challenge and civil action.

Minnesota Election Law and Voter Registration Statutes (Minn. Stat. Chapter 201): 

Minnesota election statutes govern the Statewide Voter Registration System (SVRS). These laws outline the precise mechanisms for voter registration, maintenance, and cancellation. When an individual has legally revoked their registration (as recorded historically), state election officials and administrative agents are bound by statutory integrity rules to maintain the accuracy of those rolls. Bypassing a permanent cancellation through automated DMV scripting can be challenged as a failure to properly administer statutory election mandates.

List of crimes committed in racketeering and collusion and deprivation of rights under color of law:

1. Agravated Identify theft,

2. Constructive Fraud,

3. Voter Fraud by proxy,

4. False claims in commerce,

5. Breach of trust,

6. Gross breach of trust,

7. Commercial and Administrative Malfeasance,

8. Barratry,

9. Manipulation of permanent public record,

10. Construing a consenting citizen administratively without factual due process.

11. Cloud on Title crimes

12. Fiduciary Fraud crimes

13. Executors de son tort crimes

Let's match statutes, laws both state and federal and penalty and injury compensation for the follow-on expected problems that will raise, such as ordering the man to attend jury duty in administrative courts which have been discovered to be operating in conflict of interest with misapplied Article III judicial powers.

No wonder the ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGE scurries along with nearly any Pro se litigants very quickly to an Civil/Other/Misc ADA (where no documented rules of procedure exist) motivated ORDER for PLAINTIFF which blocks a DEFENSE motion, thus shutting down a defendant from having it's day in court via its own fair trial and heard by a jury of one's peers. Instead these collaborating cheaters use lawfare between ALJ and PROSECUTORS to trick a Minnesotan into contempt of court or playing layered motion games in secret against any defendant found to be challenging jurisdiction and questioning any of the above sharade.

To rigorously address the comprehensive list of grievances—ranging from administrative data manipulation and constructive fraud to compelled jury service resulting from artificially inflated public rolls—legal analysts and constitutional scholars examine how federal and state penal codes, civil rights statutes, and tort doctrines intersect. When an individual's administrative profile is altered by state action against their express historical directives, the resulting cascading harms (such as erroneous jury summonses or false political classifications) implicate specific legal categories, statutory counterparts, and potential remedies.

The matching of each alleged offense category to governing federal/state laws, associated legal penalties, and injury compensation mechanisms for downstream harms (such as compelled administrative jury duty) involves the following framework:

1. Identity Theft / 9. Manipulation of Permanent Public Record

Governing Statutes: 18 U.S.C. § 1028 (Fraud and related activity in connection with identification documents) and Minnesota Statutes § 609.89 (Computer Theft/Data Tampering). State data practices acts also govern unauthorized alterations of permanent governmental files.Penalties: Criminal fines, restitution, and potential misdemeanor or felony charges for unauthorized state-actor data falsification.Injury Compensation: Damages for emotional distress, invasion of privacy, and costs associated with forcing the citizen to clean up corrupted public records.

2. Constructive Fraud / 4. False Claims in Commerce / 5 & 6.

Breach of Trust (Gross Breach)

Governing Statutes: Common law tort of constructive fraud; Minnesota Statutes § 609.43 (Official Misconduct / Breach of Public Trust). When a government agency misrepresents an administrative compliance action as political consent, it creates a legal fiction that breaches fiduciary public trust.

Penalties: 

For public officials, official misconduct in Minnesota is a gross misdemeanor carrying up to one year in prison and/or a fine.

Injury Compensation: 

Rescission of the fraudulent status, declaratory judgments nullifying the administrative "consent," and compensatory damages for compelled compliance.

3. Voter Fraud by Proxy / Construing a Consenting Citizen Without Due Process

Governing Statutes: 52 U.S.C. § 10307 (Prohibition against fraudulent voting and registration) and Minnesota Statutes § 201.27 (Violations of Election Laws, including illegal voter registration practices).

Penalties: 

Criminal sanctions for registering ineligible or non-consenting persons; statutory injunctions against agencies executing automated overrides.

Injury Compensation: 

Immediate court-ordered purging of the fraudulent record, expungement of voter history files, and statutory civil penalties.

4. Malfeasance

Governing Statutes: 

Minnesota Statutes § 609.43 (Misconduct of a Public Officer or Employee). Malfeasance occurs when an official affirmatively performs an unlawful act or executes a duty with corrupt or improper motives, such as ignoring a citizen's explicit historical revocation of voter registration.

Penalties: 

Loss of employment, civil liability, and criminal misdemeanor/gross misdemeanor penalties.

Injury Compensation: 

Actual damages proven to result from the unlawful state action.

5. Barratry / Systematic Harassment via Administrative Machinery (Jury Summons, etc.)

Governing Statutes: 

Common law abuse of process and 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law). When artificial voter rolls are used to feed municipal and county jury pools, citizens who legally opted out are subjected to involuntary administrative servitude (compelled jury service in courts driven by flawed datasets).

Penalties: 

Federal civil rights injunctions, contempt of court orders, and declaratory relief invalidating the improper summons mechanisms.

Injury Compensation: 

Compensation for lost wages, travel expenses, time spent responding to unlawful administrative summonses, and damages for involuntary peonage or forced labor under color of law (violating the spirit of 42 U.S.C. § 1994 prohibiting peonage).

I think the number one reason the above terrible situation exists is due to the people not being taught who we really are.

We have no idea the lawfare or injustice we cast ourselves into by trying to defend against perceived infractions where nobody is physically harmed by your private use of your car/truck/boat/motorcycle/plane or other proven safe mode of free travels.

    THE ABUNDANCE PARADIGM: WHY AI FORCES A RETHINKING OF MONEY ITSELF — PART 1

    By Ellen Brown on May 11, 2026

    Ellen's Facebook Page

    A Universal Basic Income (UBI) has long been proposed as a way to cushion the blow of jobs lost to automation. Under that model, everyone receives a modest monthly payment – enough to cover basic needs and prevent extreme poverty. 

    But Elon Musk has gone further. On April 16, he posted on X:

    Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.

    Rather than a subsistence stipend, Universal High Income (UHI) would be a level of income allowing ordinary people to live well in a world where machines do most of the work. Musk has also said that AI and robotics are the only things that can solve the massive U.S. debt crisis. 

    That sounds promising, but where will the government get the money to pay the UHI? Critics say any government that tried it would go bankrupt. There are also other concerns, which will be addressed in Part 2 of this article. Here we will look at the financial underpinnings: why UHI is even thinkable, why AI forces a reexamination of how money enters the economy, why the current system cannot scale to meet what is coming, and the implicit transition needed to meet that challenge.

    Why the Current Money System Cannot Scale

    The national debt of the U.S. government just topped $39 trillion. China’s is $18.7 trillion. Japan’s is $8.6 trillion. Those of the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain are each in the multi-trillion-dollar range. Collective global debt now stands at $353 trillion, 305% of the world’s annual economic output. So even if, hypothetically, everything produced in the world in a year were applied toward liquidating the debt, it still would not be enough to pay it all off. 

    In fact the debt can never be repaid, because of the way money currently enters the system. Nearly all of the money supply today is created by banks when they make loans. Banks do not lend their existing capital. The loan itself creates the money once the underwriting checkpoint is assured the borrower(s) will be able to sustain the several months or years of timely payments. The bank adds the loan amount to the asset side of its balance sheet and balances that sum with the same amount on the liability side. When the borrower withdraws or transfers the funds, either the bank takes them from its reserves in “vault cash” or the Federal Reserve debits the bank’s digital reserve account at the central bank. But the lending bank typically has funds coming into its reserve account at about the same rate as they are going out, so its reserves are continually replenished. Thus a very small reserve account can support a much larger money creation engine. For decades before the Fed discontinued the reserve requirement in 2020, it hovered at around 10%.

    The chief problem with this debt-based system is the interest, which the bank does not create in its original loan. For a typical long-term loan, interest can double the total tab or more. Where is the money to come from to pay this added liability? Across the system as a whole, it must either come from more borrowing or from existing funds. In the case of governments, that means issuing interest-bearing bonds or tapping taxes and other revenues. The interest on the debt compounds, meaning the government is paying interest on interest. This makes the debt increase exponentially, until it is mathematically unsustainable. Seems a foreclosure is the goal as signed off on by a borrower. Then bankruptcies occur, of banks or even whole governments. Booms turn into busts, and the cycle begins again.

    Today, interest on the federal debt is the second largest budget line item after Social Security, exceeding $1 trillion. Meanwhile, workers are losing jobs to AI/robotics, shrinking the income tax base. The system is clearly unsustainable.

    How to Raise Demand to Scale to the Upcoming Supply

    A Universal High Income would replenish the shrinking tax base by replacing the lost wages of unemployed workers. But where will the money come from to pay the UHI? The only sustainable solution is for the government to issue it interest-free. That does not mean through the Federal Reserve, which creates money in the same way banks do: it buys federal interest-bearing securities with accounting entries. The Fed collects the interest, which it is supposed to return to the Treasury after deducting its costs. But since 2008, its costs include paying interest on the reserves of its participating banks, which consumes its profits. (See my earlier article here.) 

    The only interest-free, debt-free solution that will actually increase the money supply sufficiently to match the projected productivity of AI/robotics is for the money to be issued directly by the Treasury.

    This is not a radical new idea. It is authorized in the U.S. Constitution, which provides in Article 1, Sec. 8, that “The Congress shall have Power To … coin Money [and] regulate the Value thereof .…” Abraham Lincoln used government-issued “Greenbacks” to avoid a crippling debt to British-backed bankers. Debt-free government-issued money was also the funding mechanism by which the American colonists succeeded in creating a thriving economy and liberating themselves from the oppressive yoke of the British Empire.

    In his 1729 pamphlet “A Modest Inquiry into the Nature and Necessity of a Paper-Currency,” Benjamin Franklin argued that a lack of currency was a tax on industrious farmers and producers, and that a reliable, locally issued paper currency was the “oil” for the gears of trade. The “Nature and Necessity” of this currency was to facilitate the movement of goods between neighbors. Franklin observed that the British strategy of keeping the colonies short of cash was a method of economic suppression. By forcing the colonies to use gold and silver, which were constantly drained back to London to pay for imports, the Crown kept the colonies in a state of permanent debt and low productivity. When the money supply matched the productive capacity of the people, universal prosperity resulted without inflation. 

    This logic evolved into the “American System of Political Economy” championed by Henry Carey, economic advisor to Abraham Lincoln. He wrote:

    Two systems are before the world… One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other in increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. … One is the English system; the other we may be proud to call the American system, for it is the only one ever devised the tendency of which was that of elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world.

    In the context of the 21st century, the “oil” that best lowers the friction of trade is debt-free government-issued money similar to Lincoln’s Greenbacks and colonial scrip. Rather than implementing a radical financial innovation, we would be returning to our roots.

    Inflation or Deflation?

    The chief objection to the colonies’ paper “scrip” was that they tended to over-print, so that “demand” (money) outstripped supply. Too much money chasing too few goods produced price inflation. But in the 21st century, we will soon have the opposite problem: too little money chasing too many goods. Machines don’t need food, clothing, shelter, transportation, medical treatment or other services. So who will buy those goods and services? 

    Money needs to be issued to human consumers, and not just to a few wealthy human consumers serving as debt brokers thriving on interest. To create sufficient demand for the voluminous output of AI/robotics, it needs to go to the whole national population, evenly distributed. Not only can UHI work in that sort of abundant supply without producing price inflation; it is actually essential to prevent deflation.

    In a conversation on X, Musk wrote:

    In a normal economy, issuing more money simply increases the dollar price of the existing output of goods & services, meaning people do NOT get more stuff. If AI/robotics massively increase goods & services output, then you actually MUST issue dollars to people or there will be massive disinflation. 

    As paraphrased on Yahoo Finance (reposted from Benzinga), Musk wrote that handing out more dollars becomes a problem only when the economy’s supply of goods and services fails to surge alongside the money supply. His claim is that AI and robotics could lift production so sharply that the bigger risk would be falling prices, not rising ones.

    But aren’t falling prices a good thing? In this case, no. Prices would be falling due to a lack of demand, meaning producers can’t find customers for their products. They wind up laying off workers and eventually going bankrupt. When spread across the whole economy, the result is a deflationary spiral: prices fall, businesses lose revenue, and the economy contracts, not because production is inadequate but because purchasing power is insufficient. The result is recession or depression. In the Great Depression of the 1930s, food was rotting in the fields while people were starving, because they were out of work and had no money to spend. 

    Job cuts from AI are already happening. According to the same Benzinga article:

    Evidence of near-term strain is showing up in corporate announcements: employers disclosed more than 27,000 job cuts linked to AI in the first quarter of 2026, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. The outplacement firm said that figure was up 40% from the same period a year earlier. 

    Robert Reich reports that wages are around two-thirds of the typical corporation’s total cost, and that in the first four months of 2026, big U.S. corporations cut over 128,000 jobs. 

    How Soon Will All This Happen?

    Another Benzinga article, reposted on Yahoo Finance on March 16, detailed Musk’s projected time frame:

    Speaking remotely to the Abundance Summit last week, Musk told XPRIZE founder Peter Diamandis that the global economy is on the verge of an explosion so massive it defies historical precedent.

    “I’d say the economy is 10 times its current size in 10 years,” Musk said, before quickly clarifying that the growth could be even more explosive. “Greater than,” he added, framing the projected shift in economic output as a “fairly comfortable prediction.” …

    Ray Kurzweil, author of The Singularity Is Near, sees AI reaching Artificial General Intelligence (human-level intelligence across virtually all domains) by 2029, and full transformative abundance by 2045.

    Other experts question these time projections, but a radical transformation of traditional manufacturing and trade is likely to happen sometime in the reasonably near future. The question is, will the money system transition soon enough to rescue all the laid-off workers from homelessness and famine?

    The Sovereign Wealth Fund Alternative

    There is another model for distributing the gains of automation, one that can be phased in gradually as the AI workforce expands. It comes from Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. In an ironic twist, Altman and Musk, who jointly founded OpenAI in 2015, are now locked in a high-profile legal battle over whether Altman diverted Musk’s $44 million investment to transform what was conceived as a nonprofit “for the benefit of humanity” into a highly lucrative for-profit enterprise.

    That dispute aside, Altman’s alternative model for sharing AI-generated wealth is a national sovereign wealth fund seeded by the profits of AI and robotics. His proposed American Equity Fund would take public stakes in the companies and technologies driving automation, capture a portion of the resulting productivity gains, and distribute them as universal dividends. The Fund would not replace a Universal High Income but would complement it.

    This approach has several advantages. It ties payments directly to real output, scales automatically with productivity, and can be introduced gradually, avoiding the shock of issuing large payments before the supply side has fully expanded. It would resemble the Alaska Permanent Fund, which distributes oil revenues to residents, except that here the resource would be the most powerful general-purpose technology since electricity.

    Conclusion: A New Monetary Logic for a New Productive Era

    For centuries, money has been issued as a claim against the future productivity of human labor, repaid from the income that labor generates. The logic of this debt-based system collapses when machines become the primary producers of goods and services. Then the limiting factor becomes purchasing power — the ability of human beings to access the abundance their own technologies create. That requires a monetary architecture that expands with output rather than debt, and distributes income not through wages alone but through mechanisms tied to the productive capacity of the whole system.

    Universal High Income and a sovereign wealth fund are two ways of doing that. One ensures a stable floor of demand; the other ensures that the public shares in the gains of automation. Both would be grounded in real production. But for the public to have access to those gains, the money supply needs to expand in proportion to the expanding pool of goods and services. This can be done by restoring the innovation our forefathers baked into the Constitution: debt-free money issued by the government itself.

    How to fund a UHI without triggering inflation or driving the government into bankruptcy is the first objection critics raise, but there are others. They argue that people would stop working or stop learning, that society would collapse into idleness or chaos, that life would lose meaning without jobs, that the government would have the power to control how people spend their money.  Will a UHI ring in the promised utopia or lock us into a state-controlled digital prison? Part 2 of this article will address those concerns.

    Here is my comment awaiting moderation on Ellen's blog as I do hope I survive the decision of her moderator:

    James Allen Homyak, an inventive and creative Minnesotan, contends that as natural thinking and critical thinking Americans begin to privately employ a non-big-tech open source operating system solution inside their households (directed to assist and empower in virtually every facet of living) to provide knowledge management and decision support, for fitting more precisely within the DYNAMICS OF THAT HOUSEHOLD, people would become empowered in many unique ways blocked for over a couple centuries by CORRUPT BAR MEMBERS and ROBBER BARONS long gone. Unfortunately their devastating effects lived on in the corporatized shifting of the "balance of power" away from younger generations and dreaming families. Set on making a buck for a distant shareholder populace.. Jim loves to call people's attention to Ellen's content on his own portal. 

    Perhaps one day home ai will obsolete the need for massive data centers to data mine and control the subservient masses.

     Now if Jim did something like this as he plans, the definition of a.i. would become very likely some better sets of words:   

    Active Inquiry

    Actual Intent

    Actionable Intelligence

    Many a time I often think about moving to Russia, so sick and tired of living here in the West.

    Over there things get done and child molesters etc don't just get away with a slapped wrist, free to again prey on the innocent.

    Those promoting society's moral decay will now have to answer for their actions also.

    Way to go Mr Putin.
