I too hope that you continue reporting on these people, Tolland. You're doing a marvelous job and I read every post, even if I don't comment often.
Thanks. Everybody should recognize that a lot of RAP stuff is occurring behind subscription walls. People have to be recommended or approved by some glorious local functionary before they are allowed to subscribe. Then they have to sign on to RAP or RuSA or whatever it is. I have not taken those steps and won't do so. However, the leaks have been profuse if they are to be believed.
What I have not yet seen is the document signed behind closed doors in the warehouse at Wind Walker Guest Ranch. It seems that cRAPsters who were not there have not seen it either, despite promises that it would soon be released. There are lots of allusions to its content on Goss's RuSA blog, however. It is likely that this is a full-blown Dominionist document.
Teri Lynn Hinkle has been a persistent critic of the goings-on at the Guest Ranch and Tim Turner personally. She seems to believe that Tim Turner works for FEMA and is simply collecting the names of people to be rounded up. One of her efforts to undermine him is
a letter she supposedly sent to "law enforcement" warning of Turner's Claim to the entire United States and all its resources. This Claim is supposedly the secret document signed in the warehouse. Turner says that he will present the Claim to "The Hague" when all 50 states have seated RuSA legislatures and asserts that he has the support of the FBI, CIA, and Pentagon, as well as a number of unnamed countries.
Another document announces that the "Prosperity Programs" are in full swing.
Prosperity Programs - GONNA HIT YOU LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN..YOU READY?. The White Knights and "the Chinese" are enforcing these programs, which include redemption of a worthless penny stock in a diamond-mining company known as
CMKX. CMKX stock was sold on the grounds that a true Christian vouched for the company. There are supposedly 700 billion shares held by people who are now in RuSA and by other suckers that will be redeemed at $0.80 for every share owned. I get the sense from some message boards that some people invested much of their life savings in this pipe dream. The Iraqi dinar, held by some dupes, is another wedge that will open the path to asset-based currency when the dinar becomes fully convertible. How these people got their hands on dinars is quite unclear to me; they may hold counterfeit currency.
Stupidity and greed seem in this case to be coupled with belief that Turner is divinely inspired if not himself divine. If you've ever seen one of his videos, it is hard to believe that people would fall at his feet in adoration. Yet they do, and some of them seem to have entrusted him with substantial sums of money in a process that involves "liens" that Turner places on their property or that of others. There have been claims that Turner is in jail, but somehow he reappears every so often on a call-in Internet radio show or in a video.
Others have gone through a fairly formal process of signing documents that disassociate themselves from RuSA, apparently hoping that when law enforcement cracks down, they will be excused from having been involved.
Teri Hinkle says that Turner has formed militias in many states that have RuSA legislatures and describes him and the movement as dangerous. I personally think that RuSA is just another manifestation of Sovereign Citizen and Dominionist ideology, and that it is only the tip of what might actually be a movement intent on violent revolution. It would be incorrect to describe this movement as Right Wing; it is more accurately described as an evangelical Christian conspiracy theory that has some resemblance to Ron Paul's ideology. Among its enemies are the multinational corporations, including the Federal Reserve, which are blamed for impoverishing the world.
Whether this accurately represents what is happening inside the secret RuSA venues is unclear.
