I believe he attended a Jonah Bey seminar in Minnesota. He has taken it a bit further with another local guru.
All states are on the city-state model. The state is the governor and other top elected officials. State territory is defined by constitution. That doesn't mean a state owns all the property in their territory. It means they own the markers they use to establish their territory and nothing more. You can go back to the Law of the Forest where the concept is developed that a forest will likely contain parks, warrens and chases. Forest law does not apply to parks, warrens and chases because there are four elements required of a forest. In fact there is more written on what is required of a forest than of what is required of a state. That plus the fact that the Law of the Forest came about with the same document that promulgated the Magna Carte yet we never hear anything except the Magna Carte. What I am suggesting here is that there are other entities within the boundaries of a state that are not subject to state rules.
Joinder is created by engaging in controversy. Stay away from the controversy. I don't have a BC. I was born in a watershed and there ain't a single hospital or government agent to be found in any watershed. You want to deport me? Send me back to my watershed.
