Interview With Kirk Carmichael of Unincorporated Associations
Today, I had the pleasure of interviewing Kirk Carmichael of Unincorporated Associations. He has proven that taxes are to be paid by federal employees instead of civilian people and that they are voluntary. We spoke about how he and his team helps individuals and corporations set up an unincorporation which does the same thing that the government does, which is create a twin of you, but this time, you can create a corporation and not have to pay taxes. Check it out.

“Welcome to another eye-opening edition of Cause Before Symptom. I’m your host, James Carner, and today we are stepping behind the legal veil that binds our identities, our properties, and even our freedoms. For decades, hidden beneath the corporate infrastructure of modern society lies a powerful distinction—between the incorporated and the unincorporated, between persons and people, between legal fictions and living souls.
Joining us today is Kirk Carmichael, founder of UnincorporatedAssociations.com, a man who has dedicated his life to educating others about reclaiming jurisdiction over their name, their estate, and their God-given rights. His work exposes how the legal system has been cleverly structured to convert us into subjects under maritime law—stripped of our sovereignty and treated as commodities.
But the truth always surfaces, and those with eyes to see will see. Kirk’s insight doesn’t just challenge legal assumptions—it challenges us to take personal responsibility, to act in truth, and to come out from among them.
Kirk, welcome to the program. Let’s begin by asking: What exactly is an unincorporated association, and why is it such a critical key in restoring spiritual and lawful autonomy?”
========
FOUNDATIONAL QUESTIONS
Let’s start simple—what is the core difference between an incorporated entity and an unincorporated association?
Most people don’t realize they’re operating under corporate jurisdiction. How and when did this shift occur in American legal history?
Can you explain how the birth certificate creates a legal fiction and what role that plays in corporate governance over the individual?
PRACTICAL & LEGAL MECHANICS
What are the legal benefits of operating under an unincorporated association versus an LLC, nonprofit, or 501(c)(3)?
How does one properly establish an unincorporated association? Are there any traps or misconceptions people should avoid?
If someone is currently operating a ministry, business, or community group under state registration, how hard is it to transition into an unincorporated structure?
Does an unincorporated association offer any protection from taxes, government mandates, or lawsuits?
SPIRITUAL AND PHILOSOPHICAL DEPTH
Do you see a spiritual significance in the reclaiming of one’s legal standing through these means? Is this a form of modern-day Exodus from Babylon?
The Bible speaks of being “in the world but not of it.” Would you say unincorporated associations are a way for believers to live out that principle legally?
Do you believe the current system is deliberately structured to enslave humanity under man-made authority? If so, who benefits?
CALL TO ACTION & VISION
What are some success stories you’ve witnessed of individuals or groups who’ve restored their lawful standing using your methods?
What advice would you give someone who is just waking up to this reality and wants to take their first step?
Where is all of this going—do you foresee a time when enough people make this shift that it disrupts the corporate control grid?
How can churches, ministries, or even small communities unify under this framework to remain outside corporate jurisdiction but still operate lawfully and effectively?
