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

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.

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"

was just wondering why these guys don't get all contracto-lingual when they're in the supermarket buying the shopping?

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.

"people of color" oh come on, do we say there here?

altho further bafflement is caused by not seeing anybody use the phrase in this thread in the first place and then I realised it was me

sorry to be that guy. I'm white btw.

As a sheesh

whiter than TWP

Clean sheesh

I think punk:cis-HIPPIES actually has some exciting pinions about political correctness and whether it has reached a point of rational decrepitude tbh

"A major tenet, according to interviews with Miller published on the Internet, is that maritime law is the only worldwide governing authority because the Earth is a vessel in a sea of space."

This reasoning may actually hold up, in both intergalactic *and* interstellar court.

check the Disco thread for an interesting and great opinion about disco

it's about time somebody said what we're all thinking

They come from ilm to here a lot more often than the reverse imo

the m does seem to make people rage with pinions, it's true

Looks like their first post was on ILE, ~actually~. Also checked posting history, they appear to be a genuine garbage-opinions-haver rather than a pure troll. lol @ this tho:

RYM: useful in theory. The community is the problem. I got on one of the narcissist mods' bad side a few years ago and got banned as a result, and now they ban me any time I re-register, like I'm on a "WANTED" list. Doesn't even matter if I use a new IP, someone recognizes my pretty specific taste and alerts the mod I offended, lol
