That's a pretty convoluted way to say people are required to work under our (or really any realistic) economy.
Why are they so infatuated with this weirdo naval law thing they have going on? Like asking judges if they adjudicate under banner of a maritime vessel according to the Queen of Roxbury statute because otherwise their conveyance would be considered void by rite of Shaka when the walls fell. They just love maritime law for some reason.
The hospital thing is partly true, though meaningless when it comes to avoiding taxes or speeding tickets. They weren't really a private army of the Vatican, though they did have knights and stuff. Extremely interesting fact: the Knights Hospitalier had a large (non-combat) air force for a minute due to technically being a country with no land. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1151832864494903296.html
Oh that is interesting, thank you!
You betcha, corporation doing business as BonesOfTheMoon!
i love sovereign citizens. they just walk right into their own pitfalls and it's a joy to see.
And they are always totally surprised by the fact nobody wants to accept their homemade license plates or whatever.
Love these posts bones! I had no idea this was such a big movement.
Isn't it wild? I just joined one out of curiosity via a Reddit post, and since then I've fallen down all their rabbit holes. There's thousands in their groups and they're all equally bonkers. Never seen anything like it!
It's pretty sad. My mom fell into it hard around 2018, and back in 2020 when I stopped talking to her she was going on about how some guy in Montana was now the official ruler of the US because he filed an application to claim the United States flag during some obligatory grace period before the US sold it to the King of England. Mind you, this was before the queen died - she was convinced that the previous king was still alive and scheming to regain British ownership of the US, and that this Montana guy saved it at the last second. She was literally crying in joy.
The previous king was George V. He died of cancer in 1951 or so....and if he didn't....ow my temporal lobe
Oh that I've never heard of?
Not sure if it was actually a SovCit conspiracy, or if it was Q or something else. Once she was down the rabbit hole she spent literally all day on YouTube just watching conspiracy videos.
It's such a loose term that she probably qualifies. They aren't very organized.
I'm 2 paragraphs in and I'm tapping out, I'm pretty sure I can feel my brain melting from the inside and I don't wanna make a mess on my keyboard by reading further.
Good for you. I only made it to berth
The president represent leadership. What is lead? A poisonous metal. And the president? Like the dent left in a baby's head when the nurse drops him in the maternity ward.
It all lines up, folks.
And why is it called tapping out? That's right, because in professional wrestling, those who give up the fight tap the floor! They're teaching your kids to give up! 😡
You're probably right to do so. It just gets more painful.
In terms of word play this is brilliant.
In the point they were trying to make its Trumpian.
Eh, it's about on par with Eric Cartman's 'evidence' that Wendy Testaburger wants to kill all the smurfs. To anyone not in the know, they were satirizing Glenn Beck, who was a popular conservative shill at the time who did exactly that on TV but about Obama or something
c/badetymology ?
The word is ent -omology. The root “ent” comes from the word “ant,” because we are all ants under god’s magnifying glass (a.k.a. “The ozone layer”), and “omology” comes from the secret chant from the knights Templar (the pope’s secret army boyz), and it roughly translates to “nana nana poo poo” because the Illuminati is so brazen that they hide clues and taunts everywhere, from word structure to the writing that appears on my bathroom mirror when I take a shower and the humidity (a.k.a. “Water air,” or “O2h2O,” commonly written as “uwu” by the pope’s online army boyz) makes the mirror taste good.
it’s all connected
A little kNaWLedGe is a dangerous thing
Something that I'd be interested in seeing:
Get one of these sovereign citizens to gather up all of their official ... "documents". Next, stick them on a plane and drop them off on another continent, and then watch them throw their sovereign citizen weight around, and try to get back to the country where they refuse to cooperate with basic laws, rules and regulations.
I definitely would like to see how a sovereign citizen's homemade passport would go over in Uzbekistan, Zimbabwe, or Cambodia.
stick them on a plane and drop them off on another continent
I can stop you there
I would also enjoy this. One tried to go someplace with her "world passport" and has it seized.
It's got electrolytes! Idiocracy is a documentary. Lol
It's depressing how accurate that movie is.
I would literally vote for Terry Cruz right now if I could. Even with him drinking a beer riding a motorcycle.
Nevermind the fact thar the word cell predates electricity storing devices. Does the book goes back to linking batteries with ships or what?
Holy shit the fact that this document has more than 40 footnotes is mind numbing
This is just a page!
