"I'm a sovereign human being, I stand under common law only" - Thread of Freemen

Alberta woman tries to use freemen mumbo jumbo to get out of paying back student loans, gets brutally smacked down in court.

Those crazy Legal Name posters are all over Tottenham!!

It is like some weird ILX BREAKS INTO REAL LIFE thing!!

Yeah, I saw a new one around there but have forgotten where exactly - the one under the bridge at London Bridge is still there. Where on earth is the money coming from?

Only fair to point out that ilx didnt actually yknow start this

Fella i had long and tricky professional engagement with a few years back is now making national headlines in this sphere. I wouldve predicted it tbh.

there are a lot of things out there i would never had heard of, if not for ilx (like trypophobia, thanks a lot).

and these people too, obvs.

Interesting language used in resp to that 9th Circuit CCW ruling from the NRA:

“This decision will leave good people defenseless, as it completely ignores the fact that law-abiding Californians who reside in counties with hostile sheriffs will now have no means to carry a firearm outside the home for personal protection,” the group’s legislative chief, Chris W. Cox, said.

yeah, boggled a little at that myself

Is that possibly related to this?

"possibly" in italics. I agree that it's boggling, but that's fresh in the news.

The day after Orlando, a SovCit killed three people with an AR15 and fled:

Dude was also lead singer for NY death metal band Pyrexia:

to the untrained eye that might look like terrorism

Morgan County Sheriff Vince Shambaugh stated that “[Shute] took cover behind a tree and shot these people ambush-style,” and that an AR-15 was the weapon used.

natch

The AR-15 is rapidly becoming the shining symbol of our glorious freedom to go on a killing rampage against anyone we don't like, including whoever is standing next to them.

Just need more good guys with AR 15s out there to stop them

in the news

This is interesting: http://www.salon.com/2016/07/18/cop_killer_gavin_long_and_the_danger_of_the_sovereign_citizens_movement/

The whole freeman shtick is at least partly about offering magic hope or solutions to people who feel marginalized so this isn't surprising. Some of the vids upthread are from people of colour looking for a defence against oppressive authority iirc

Yeah the Five Percent Nation ppl are basically the kissing cousins of this movement. It's all about the disempowerment/empowerment.

idly reading a bunch of Prince memorial stuff, made me think about how his changing his name to a symbol to get out of a legal contract basically fits here

Wonder if he mailed the https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/af/Prince_logo.svg/15px-Prince_logo.svg.png album back to himself in a sealed envelope.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/ryan-bundy-declares-self-idiot-sovereign-citizen

In a baffling series of court motions filed Thursday, one of the men who led a 41-day occupation earlier this year of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge in Oregon declared himself a sovereign citizen free from the bounds of federal laws.

Ryan Bundy claimed that he was a “idiot of the ‘Legal Society’” in documents filed to U.S. District Court Judge Anna Brown, as Oregon Public Broadcasting reported.

“I, ryan c, man, am an idiot of the ‘Legal Society’; and; am an idiot (layman, outsider) of the ‘Bar Association’; and; i am incompetent; and; am not required by any law to be competent,” Bundy wrote.

so can you just file any damn thing in your court case?

'I, Old Lunch, man, am an idiot; and; am a pegasus with C3POs for wings and draculas for legs'

Ryan Bundy is just engaging in word magic. He is declaring that his word magic is unique to himself and separate from, but equal to, the word magic of the courts and bar association. This shrewdly lays the groundwork for baffling the judge into setting him free. Note his cunning use of semicolons. They are the work of a genius at bafflement.

tbf i agree with him

I got into a facebook argument about the malheur goons with a mormon guy that I went to high school with; one of his friends with the last name "Bundy" jumped in and seemed to be extremely familiar with a lot of the perpetrators in a way that makes me think he's a relative of some sort.

He had nothing to say other than accusing me of being liberal msm sheep while pointedly not refuting any of the statements that I made so that was productive.

never argue with mormons

hadn't realised that Australia has elected one of these guys as a Senator

In 2011, Mr Roberts wrote a letter to then Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard demanding to be exempted from the country's carbon tax.
The letter, addressed to "The Woman, Julia-Eileen:Gillard", contained a 28-point affidavit that sought to establish Mr Roberts' exemption from the need to obey the Australian government.
He referred to himself as "Malcolm-Ieuan: Roberts., the living soul", and identified himself as the "beneficiary, administrator" for a corporate entity called MALCOLM IEUAN ROBERTS.

also belies that climate change is a conspiracy created by a cabal of "international bankers"

David Wynn Miller (born September 17,[1] 1949),[2] also styled :David-Wynn: Miller, is an American former tool and die welder[3] and leader of a tax protester group within the Sovereign citizen movement.[4] He has been described as having far-right views and as being a proponent of conspiracy theories. He is a proponent of the use of certain syntax he created to be used by people involved in legal proceedings. He refers to his syntax as QUANTUM-LANGUAGE-PARSE-SYNTAX-GRAMMAR which he asserts constitutes "correct sentence structure communication syntax."[5] People seeking remedy with Miller's syntax in court apparently profit nothing from the change in style.
