I've recently discovered a Chrome extension called Bypass Paywalls which does what it says on the tin for almost all paywalled news sites, including the Toronto Star. Definitely worth a look.

basically – dude is your typical sovereign state human, who'd been deemed a "vexatious litigant" by the government for wasting their time with his babel under a couple names. the wrinkle here is he has pivoted to using his native status to claim the Canadian gov't isn't the boss of him and his group. which is unfortunate because it undermines the legitimate disputes out there in regards to land use etc. they are also "adopting" white people into his sovereignist, "you're not the boss of me" movement. so that kinda waters down the whole native self governance thing he's going for.

*waste
Everything after this paragraph was extraneous. It contains all anyone needs to know about this guy.
James Beeks, who played Judas in the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" before his arrest last week for his alleged participation in the January 6 riot, prompted the judge to consider sending him to jail after telling the court he had "divine" authority and arguing the government had no jurisdiction over him.

Beeks spoke for himself for most of the hearing after originally saying he would not act as his own lawyer since "I cannot represent myself because I am myself."

This is both crazy and also I suppose the logical outcome of what happens when your entire social circle is right wing nuts:
Some *big* red flags in the Stewart Rhodes' detention hearings.1) The defense says Stewart can stay with his cousins Kyla & Ben pending trial.2) Kyla & Ben have two homes on the property. They live in one and her parents live in the other. Rhodes would stay with her parents.— JJ MacNab (@jjmacnab) February 18, 2022

To the extent that I followed it at all, I think he tried to use his sovereign citizen bullshit to blow up the trial. Which of course didn't work.

Like I saw the judge wasn't letting him bring up jury nullification in his closing arguments, but surely he doesn't think juries want to nullify vehicular homicide laws?
