About this episode

What if many of the rights you think you have aren’t being treated as rights at all…but as privileges granted through contracts with the government? This discussion is controversial, complex and deep. We offer it as a jumping off point for more research, not as a recommendation for what anyone should do. Why are so many talking about this, and what makes it so controversial? In this episode of The Alix Mayer Show, filmmaker and Emmy-nominated producer Sarah Kanafani, creator of the documentaries Birthright 1 and Birthright 2, joins Alix for a deep dive into natural rights, government authority, parental rights, and the legal structures most Americans never think to question. Sarah explains what led her down this path during COVID, why she began investigating the Constitution and the distinction she draws between natural and man-made law, and how that investigation ultimately became Birthright. Sarah and Alix discuss the doctrine of parens patriae, the role of birth certificates and government registration in the theory of state authority, and what parents may want to investigate if they’re concerned about CPS becoming involved over medical decisions. Sarah also shares the key question she says parents should know if their family ever becomes involved with the system. They also explore some of the most provocative claims in the Birthright films — including theories surrounding birth certificates, Social Security numbers, “minor estates,” CUSIP numbers, taxation, admiralty law, land patents, driver’s licenses, and what proponents call “going national.” In this episode, we cover: Why COVID led Sara to question government authorityWhat Birthright 1 and Birthright 2 uncoverNatural rights vs. government-created lawHow contracts can affect your relationship with the stateBirth certificates, Social Security numbers, and the “straw man” theoryWhat parens patriae means for parental rightsThe question Sarah says parents should know if CPS gets involvedWhether opting out of conventional government systems actually protects youWhy Sarah warns that “going national” can carry serious risksDriver’s licenses, taxes, land patents, and “superior title”How Americans can begin educating themselves about their constitutional rights Sarah emphasizes that this is an extraordinarily complex area, that she is a filmmaker rather than a legal expert, and that people considering acting on these ideas should educate themselves carefully and understand the risks.
