I love how bitterly a lot of these guys resent any regulation or law enforcement of the roads whatsoever. I still remember a heated argument with a guy who was borderline sovereign citizen about this poo poo; he thought it was totally outrageous that anyone could be barred from driving a car on the road (like for getting caught DUII), and said that if people misbehaved they should just be punished normally.

I managed to get him to admit that he thought it would be more just to wait for someone to get killed and then imprison the driver for negligent homicide, than to take away someone's ability to drive.


This was also a guy who, out of nowhere, one day piped up that he felt zero sympathy for the family of the IRS worker who got killed when a nutjob plowed his Cessna into an IRS office; the reason being that IRS workers are basically morally equivalent to SS stormtroopers following Hitler's orders.

That's where their idea/scam of "fee schedules" come in. Part of their mumbo-jumbo is to try and convince people that they can force you into a unilateral contract that says they can charge you any amount of money (usually hundreds of thousands or millions) if you obstruct/harass/interfere with them. There's a sample in that big PDF so I'm not sure what it claims it does if you actually explicitly reject it (I think it tries to create some near-impossible route to explicitly dispute/deny it), but it's funny to imagine Apple trying the same thing. Just mailing out contracts in bulk mail that say "Here is a contract that binds you to buying an iphone from us. If you do not respond in 7 days we will assume you have agreed and already collected your iphone, and will owe us a sum of $500".

and the best part of that its literally first year contract law. You can only have silence give consent where there's a long-standing arrangement of the exact nature of this specific transaction (and even then its not guaranteed).

A one-time, unilateral transaction? Not worth the paper its printed on.

I don't get why some of these donkeys don't go to one of the TTT law schools in the US: some of the lower end ones (Cooley, for example) you just need an LSAT higher than 0 and you're in. It'd be hilarious to hear about one of them arguing with a prof for not teaching the 'real law'.

I know.

I had a discussion with my friend on steam after watching that video, maybe you can help me out.

Say I was living in that state, and had an open carry permit, is it not part of the conditions of said permit that I have to produce it to PROVE I am legally allowed to carry such a device?

The cop had a very good point in that how was he to know they were:

A. Citizens

B. Not felons

C. Had such a license to carry

I live in Canada btw, and videos like this make me very aware why Canada would never in a million years legalise public concealed or open carry.

We have very very restricted concealed carry, mainly for Judges etc who are under constant threat of death

Slow day at the office, so I ended up reading that entire 185-page Alberta judgement posted earlier.

It really bummed me out, because while I first just dismissed sovereign citizens/OPCA litigants as wacky idiots, now all I can think of is that they are the legal system's equivalent to people in old times who, not knowing any better and not having any money to afford anything else, would go to faith healers and quacks to get medical treatment.

Lawyers are so loving expensive, and the law often so complex, that it's easier for confused, scared, and impresionable people to instead get caught up in these scams which promise 1 weird tip to beat the system.

Hell, the judge even describes the "gurus" who sell these workshops as parasites - since they know drat well that the poo poo they peddle doesn't work, and compares them to medieval alchemists tricksters.

There is a long history of paranoid political thought in BC and Alberta, stemming from a number of legitimate grievances and a complete lack of political power until the 1990's. With the rise of Reform and BLOC / PQ political discussion in the west radicalized to the point where the unsophisticated rural hucksters didn't sound that much crazier than everyone else. Plus, because of the weirdness of how Canada became a country in stages, many people seized on some accident of history to prove their points.

Not that the guy isn't an idiot (he is), but you can refuse to vote and still have the right to bitch about the government. There is also an argument to be made that the people who did vote have lost the right to complain.

But really, everyone should be bitching about the government, because it's pretty poo poo.

Someone posted a bunch of links to Sovereign websites in the bitcoin thread a while back.

I remember reading a thread with a young mother who was trying to pull every magic law nullifying argument out of her hat to stop her getting evicted for not paying tax, rent or some other stupid poo poo. Every time she posted her tone became more despondent as poo poo was beginning to pile on, and she was utterly baffled to why it was not working. Yet she kept asking for more advice and incantations that would stymie the man. Anyone who offered any remotely sane advice or laughed at her for being a retard was banned for being a sock-puppet of the NWO-Illuminati-Templar order.

I wonder how it all turned out. :allears:

Capitalism has triumphed all over the world, but this triumph is only the prelude to the triumph of labour over capital.
Sovereign citizens actually do exist despite what people may think. Though they're people exempt from the law because of how rich or well connected they are and not because they know magic spells or whatever. Like for example on a smaller scale I can speed all I want in my county and not get any speeding tickets because of cronyism.

Yeah like Tipps says above, the interesting thing about this movement is that a big chunk of these people are neither mentally ill or actual political whack-jobs. Some are (like the man and son who shot the police in West Memphis), most seem to just be going through a traumatic event, usually legal or financial in nature, where they're both scared and powerless. All their contract mumbo-jumbo feels like a reaction to mortgage documents or legal notices being an impenetrable soup of arcane terminology.

It is funny in a not-very-funny-but-really-sad way that the Canadian document is about how to best inform these people about their actual rights and trying to prosecuting those who mislead people, while the US-based 60 minutes piece is all about how they're on the FBI Terrorist Watch list and how tough cops are going to be on them.
