RE: Sovereign citizen “Right to Travel” package on Youtube
Lots of videos on Youtube of dummies who believe this “sovereign citizen” crap–i.e. Based on a misreading of old treaties, court cases, and laws, the U.S. is not a legitimate government and, thus, neither the laws of the U.S. nor the laws of each and every state are legitimate and, therefore, they do not apply to me.*
(This is apparently a growing movement in the U.S., and in a few other Western countries.)
This being the case, it is my right as a “sovereign citizen” to not drive but “travel” in my “private (not commercial) vehicle” without having to have a driver’s license, plates on my car, or insurance.
Moreover, I can assert my rights, and interrogate any cop who stops me about what his “authority” is to do so, and I don’t have to cooperate.
Similarly, after I don’t cooperate or have the proper documents, when I likely get my window smashed, I am arrested, and appear before a judge or magistrate—as agents of illegitimate governments with their phony “laws”–they have no jurisdiction or authority over me, and I should challenge them about their jurisdiction.
Below is a link to one of the people peddling a “sovereign citizen” kit—otherwise known as a get arrested, get fined, and maybe spend some time in jail kit. (She’s got almost 2 million followers!)**
P. S. There is also a black variant of the above, with these sovereign citizens asserting that they are citizens of some Moorish or indigenous nation, which has it’s own governmental and judicial structure and which, as a sovereign nation, has some times even assigned them high government office, titles of nobility, and “diplomatic immunity,” and issued their “citizens” passports, I.D.s, and license plates.*
I am glad that pants survived the Roman gov’t. I don’t think that I would like a Toga while shoveling a heavy wet snow.
Speaking of Snow, Pine there be idjits all the time. I have heard of the Sovereign types. They don’t get far so maybe they should change to Antifa Sovereign Citizens, will have more luck then.
So Trump was at CPAC or something and paid tribute to his wife, Melania, in his speech. He saw Mercedes Schlapp, conservative activist and wife of CPAC head Matt Schlapp, cheering in the audience and gave her a “shout-out.”
Now Biden is repeating the rumor/lie that Trump forgot his own wife’s name. Then, going into the loud, shouting voice, Biden continued, “It’s about how old your IDEAS are.”
Such ideas as Biden has are 50 or 100 years old. The rest of what he’s saying and doing isn’t anything he’s actually thought about, just stuff he’s the mouthpiece for.

Story in the NYT about the CIA’s heavy presence in Ukraine, going back before the beginning of the current war. It’s a good indication of how the CIA has become a government of its own, a state within the state, but why would they boast about it in what is still a large circulation newspaper?

Oh, and Manfred delenda est!
Snow on Pine — I’ve been watching sovcit court cases on YouTube. I think it is safe to say these people aren’t the brightest bulbs on the string. Their arguments are completely incoherent. In one I just watched the sovcit, representing himself naturally (court appointed defense attorneys are part of the tyranny after all), claimed he had a right to a speedy trial, but because he had to spend so much time studying to properly defend himself, he couldn’t get a speedy trial, so his case should be dismissed. Ka-boing.
ambisinistral–
It would be nice to be “foot lose and fancy free,” not subject to any laws, fees, or requirements, and just able to freely go where you wanted to go, and do what you wanted to do, and not have to give a dime or any attention to “the man.”
And I can see having a set of beliefs at odds with reality, if there are no consequences from doing so.
But when a little research would show you that acting on these beliefs inevitably leads to negative consequences, you’d think that you’d decide to drop those beliefs and–however reluctantly–“go with the program.”
This is an interesting article about how a little known Federal Reserve action facilitated excessive government spending.
Alarmingly, though, among its several precedents, the pandemic panic gave birth to a little-noticed action that could open a back door to the bailout vault. In April 2020, for the first time, the Federal Reserve announced it was willing to buy the debt of state and local governments. Among the multitude of “emergency” measures being launched at the time, the action attracted little notice. Even some of the veteran Fed watchers whom I consulted about the topic were unaware that this line had been crossed.
I have a theory. I am well aware of the power that the female leadership of Seattle has–Melinda Gates being among the leadership, there are hundreds more daughters of great wealth. Maybe a few billion less wealthy, but still very very powerful. They dismantled the Episcopal church by organizing the first woman archbishop election, and then they stretched their claws and put a “black man” in the white house. They are one-worlders. They believe that women will do a better job of running the world and everyone will be equal.
They had Hllary with Russiagate going before Trump even got elected. In the immediate week after Trump’s inauguration, they had a well organized 200,000 march of women on the streets.
But, then something wonderful happened–a new virus arrived in the US!
My theory: they took the arrival of this virus as a golden opportunity to demonstrate to every individual in this country the range of their control–their total power. To show the country that they could in fact close down this country and by extension this government. They found a flunky and made it happen. It was just that simple! Our elected leadership still trembles at the thought of this shut down and may explain their inability to perform rationally.
End of theory.
I realize that there are versions of Reality and beliefs that go along with them, and, then, there are the kind of extremely, deeply held beliefs which you stake your life on— see the first centuries of the Christian religion.
It doesn’t seem to me that the sovcit belief system is anything but a convenient dodge, wishful thinking by the not too bright.
U.N. Watch, a human rights organization based in Geneva, Switzerland that monitors the conduct of the United Nations, held a summit to end the United Nations Relief and Works Agency and find alternative solutions for development aid without terrorism.
“You are asking me why UNRWA needs to be replaced? An UNRWA worker kidnapped my son,” Ayelet Samerano told the summit. “A social worker for a so-called humanitarian organization kidnapped my son.
This could root back to Themistocles speech in the trial of Aristeides. ( Battle of Salamis). Supposedly Themistocles wasn’t doing that well until he said ” If the Persians win they’ll make us wear pants” well that just wouldn’t do. The Athenians banned Aristeides and his followers, got on their boats and the rest apparently is history.

Miguel, your last link(@120 pm) to ABC “News” includes the following, easily fiskable, but still insidious, disingenuous, incendiary falsehoods—I’ve placed the most egregious howlers in bold):
What we know about the conflict
The latest outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas, the Palestinian militant group that governs the Gaza Strip, has passed the four-month mark.
In the Gaza Strip, at least 29,878 people have been killed and 70,215 others have been wounded by Israeli forces since Oct. 7, according to Gaza’s Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health.
In Israel, at least 1,200 people have been killed and 6,900 others have been injured by Hamas and other Palestinian militants since Oct. 7, according to the Israel Defense Forces.
There has also been a surge in violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Israeli forces have killed at least 395 people in the territory since Oct. 7, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
The ongoing war began after Hamas-led militants launched an unprecedented incursion into southern Israel from neighboring Gaza via land, sea and air. Scores of people were killed while more than 200 others were taken hostage, according to Israeli authorities. The Israeli military subsequently launched retaliatory airstrikes followed by a ground invasion of Gaza, a 140-square-mile territory where more than 2 million Palestinians have lived under a blockade imposed by Israel and supported by Egypt since Hamas came to power in 2007. Gaza, unlike Israel, has no air raid sirens or bomb shelters.
That sober-sounding screed is an excellent example of the pathetic and sordid state of affairs in the corrupt Media. Reeking with falsehoods…except that it is most certainly BELIEVED.
Its a staggering layer cake of lies
Victor Hanson lets loose on the Democratic Party’s ongoing—and seemingly never-ending—Russia Hoax gambit in an impressively comprehensive survey of all its various manifestations and permutations.

I would call it more than a strategy than an “obsession”, though.
OTOH, it IS—thanks to the uber-corrupt Media—the one-size-fits-all weapon deployed by the Democratic Party’s in the vast, ongoing need to cover up all their crimes and felonies…and overall malfeasance.
To be fair, given how long this has gone on I wouldn’t be surprised if the actual death toll was perhaps as much as a quarter of the 29,878 that the Gaza’s Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health is claiming. Although I imagine the bulk of those killed would be Hamas terrorist fighters rather than civilians. But we’ll probably never know the actual truth.

I know someone whose son was paralyzed in a violent crime and Gary Sinise and his foundation were incredibly helpful to the young man, and his family. My acquaintance said Gary Sinise was always available for her when she needed support and someone to talk with. It is so tragic that a man who has done so much good for so many has to bear the loss of his son at such a young age, but, as you can read for yourself in his statement at the link, Mr. Sinise even bears that unbearable duty with courage and class. And, it appears he and his wife raised a son who was as courageous and full of grace as he is.
