Checks and balances

it's almost like a country built on armed white supremacy still hasn't quite moved on

I bet lavoy finicum feels real fuckin stupid right now

haha, kept thinking the same thing.

Bundy attorney arrested in courtroom, tackled and subdued with stun guns:

marcus... mumford?

please tell me he runs his law office in partnership with his male offspring

contempt charges, I'm guessing? just says Marshals say he was resisting arrest.

neither did dan white's acquittal

don't really see the parallel between a lone homophobic wingnut and an armed insurrection of racists, unless you're saying that this country has made no progress whatsoever since the 70's which I am starting to believe.

The same Mother Jones reporter who went undercover in the private prison investigation also embedded with the 3 Percent Militia as they conducted operations on the Arizona/Mexico border. Worth a read

Bundy follower gets 68 years for role in armed Nevada standoff

long piece on the bundy crew hanging tight w/ social media on npr this morning.. one of the interviewees were talking about 'heavenly father' and I was reminded these nutters are all mormons

HIT EM AGAIN JUDGE I SAW HIM MOVE

I do like the "I refute it thus" ending to these things, but they still believe there's some kind of hidden law apart from what actually happens. It's a curious confusion, and it must emerge from more primitive misunderstandings, I think. And Americans; I blame Americans (and the Magna Carta).

i mean peace be on this judge and 1000 times yes hit em again but comments like this

Instead, “metaphysical concepts” were introduced to suggest the money “never actually existed”, although how the couple bought a property with “non-existent” funds was not explained.

don't tell the whole story do they, what he means is "my metaphysical concepts have the power of arrest and yours do not"

That is explicit

Dowd it's not confusion it's a sad mix of desperation and charlatanism and anyone taking advantage of the first party should see jail time imo

you can see how it would confuse simple folks. maybe mortgages should be paid out in big suitcases full of money, or better yet gold or something.

"see these doubloons right? well we're giving you these to buy your house, and we want you to bring us a pig once a month until we've covered the value"

Barter economy you sign away twenty percent of your output for the next forty years

Course the cash equivalent there is about two grand so I'm as well to bow to the original request

charges dismissed. that's it. great job feds.

This could have gone on a half-dozen threads, but the claim for Common Law arrest of the mayor tips the scales to this one: https://news.sky.com/story/trump-supporters-demand-london-mayor-sadiq-khan-arrest-11205566

"disrupted by protesters from a group called the White Pendragons who shouted pro-Trump and pro-Brexit slogans."

aka The Football Lads Alliance, English Defence League etc... they keep changing their name every month now.

Their re-branding might be something to do with an EDL march getting cancelled last year when 6 people turned up.

Execution of freemen y/n

(xp) lol yeah, saw this story and thought of this thread.

He also accused the Fabian Society of "subverting" the constitution.

luv 2 walk him thru step by step of that thought

leader seems to have a site called 'The People's Bailiffs' ft leveller tracts, and careful what you wish for because I think he would be happy to walk you through his thoughts on the constitution at length

I wdn't really luv2walk because madness doesnae listen but still

the people's speed-trap cops

or is there a sector of middle england which is excitedly pro bailiff, idk

judging by the amount of bailiff porn on daytime BBC1 et al i'm guessing yes

people love pigs

the tracks these common weal societies follow are really strange. how they go barmy in this specific way.

i mean do they connect st. george’s hill with shouting pro trump slogans at sadiq khan?

there's definitely something very chthonic protestant about it: but this kind of self-taught stubbornness -- what's in the bible and the laws is what i find there, not what some fancy priest or bureaucrat says is there -- and that the right of the land arises from the people of the land

e.p.thompson's muggletonians seemed kind of sweet -- i think because they were quietist and didn't proselytise, and had still somehow survived across 300 years -- but many of the other sects were a lot noisier, and (as "the world turned upside down" says, tho it's years since i read it) for a space of years during and after the civil war, the country became a carnival of crackpots, some solitary, some in groups
