Las Vegas Conference Report

While we did not reach our financial goals, we went ahead with the conference, bringing all we could afford to. As it turned out, the conference was attended by approximately 115 sheriffs from across the nation, plus a good number of others who attended at their own expense. Please see this Last Vegas Conference 2012 Press Release for details.

Oddly missing from the attendees was our own Sheriff John Hanlin. Sheriff Hanlin was present at a Liberators11 Meeting in December along with Sheriff Gil Gilbertson. Hanlin promised to go if the funds were raised. Once he was notified that his way was paid, sheriff Hanlin declined to attend. It was his decision to seek advice from County Council regarding the event and other issues that Hanlin was advised against attending the convention. Although unfounded & improper as the advice was, Sheriff Hanlin chose to abide by it. This conduct, which could easily be construed as cowardly and insecure; indicates that Sheriff Hanlin is not willing to take his Oath of Office seriously. An elected official who hides behind the advice of a lawyer and does not understand their Authority and independence in relation to checks and balances set out by our founding fathers has no place in the office of Sheriff. What will happen when they come to take unlawfully take our children, or our property, or our guns? Will Sheriff Hanlin have to consult with county council then before protecting the people’s inalienable constitutionally guaranteed
rights then? The Sheriff answers to one body and one body only, THE PEOPLE.

U.S. authorities say they have increased their focus on so-called sovereign citizens, a movement that believes it can use armed force to resist police.

Followers of the notion believe the United States is under martial law, the dollar is worthless after the U.S. Treasury went off the gold standard and some constitutional amendments are invalid, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.

The FBI said members of the movement have killed six police officers since 2000. A shootout in West Memphis, Ark., in 2010 left four people dead, including two officers in one of the more deadly clashes.
...
Studies by the Homeland Security Department and the National Counterterrorism Center listed the sovereign citizen movement alongside Islamic extremists and white supremacists as major threats to the United States, the Times reported. More than 100,000 people have aligned themselves with the movement, said the Southern Poverty Law center, which tracks domestic terrorists and hate groups.

Georgia House committee forwards bill to take on sovereigns:

Is this legislation constitutional?

And as far as I'm concerned, there's not much difference in the legal frivolity engaged in by birthers and sovereigns. If this law stands up, could similar legislation be enacted to restrict birther activities? Or will we just have to depend on the courts to act swiftly and decisively to put them in their place (like in Alabama)?

Rod Class Gets Go Ahead To File In The U.S. Supreme Court
In His Ongoing Action Against The IRS !
Rod's IRS case has been going on since 2009 and has finally
reached the point (court) of last resort. The case involves
actions of the IRS against David Lee; Buess of Ohio.
Rod's argument is NOT that "taxes are unconstitutional, etc."...He
maintains that the IRS uses Fraudulent Tactics that go against their
specific written procedures (codes, rules, regulations, etc.) for
Collection, etc. !

One of the tax avoidance Sovereign Citizens seems to be claiming that SCOTUS has agreed to hear his case. Could this be true?

There is, however, no guarantee that the Supreme Court will hear this
case, but it could happen ! We doubt that the Supremes have heard
Rod's argument before, so you never can tell ! It's the endgame of a
very long strategy !

I don't see why not. Litigation is privileged, but outright fraud is not. Filing phony liens against people is and always has been illegal.

Unfortunately, the problem with tolerating the paper terrorism of "sovereign citizen" criminals and parasites is not that there is some absence of laws under which they could be prosecuted, but the reluctance of authorities actually to prosecute these vermin and put them behind bars where they belong. Their tactics, such as fake liens and terrorist threats, are already covered by existing laws.

Loh also small and especially southern communities have limited law enforcement and financial resources to do so. It may be a matter of manpower and money. Then again some law enforcement seem to be in on the scam. Their professional obstructions are difficult to overcome.

While it would be nice to shut down the lien fraud, sovcits will just switch to some new fraudulent tactic if some particular tactic of theirs starts sending a lot of them to prison.

Legal Notice for Agents of the Crown
This week, some of our fellow Americans published a Notice for all agents of the crown, and its included US Corporation.

We the People who are Beings of Light, children of our heavenly
Creator who is not bankrupt, are taking back our responsibilities and
taking over. We are creating a world without man-made parasites. Even
as you read this we are … phasing you out. You cannot turn back
this tide.

Members of the BAR, here are your choices: A.) Come into the Light; or
B.) go into the Light. You very dark ones face un-creation or the Hell
planet — you will not be missed – either as a target or as a thought.

Found this article while looking for b-ball scores. Interesting.

Study: Hate of Obama fuels 755% growth in extremist groups

“These groups are becoming more and more aware as they watch the primary season unfold that Obama is fairly likely to win and some of them are having meltdowns over this,” Southern Poverty Law Center senior fellow Mark Potok told Raw Story. “They’re looking at four more years under a very hated black president — hated by them. So, we’re seeing signs of real anger over that. People saying we’re at war already, saying go out and buy AK-47s and hollow-point bullets, get tools to derail trains.”

Anti-government 'sovereign movement' on the rise in U.S.
By Kevin Johnson, USA TODAY

TRINIDAD, Texas – Gary Thomas will never forget the letter he received in early 2000. It was from John Joe Gray, a suspect in a felony assault case, offering a not-so-subtle warning to the area's chief criminal investigator: He had no intention of answering charges that he had attacked a state trooper.

"What he said was this: 'If y'all come to get me, bring body bags,' " said Thomas, now a local justice of the peace.

Thomas remembers the message clearly, not because of its unvarnished threat, but because — after 12 years — Gray, who doesn't acknowledge the authority of any government, continues to dare police to come and get him.

Sequestered on a 50-acre, wooded compound in East Texas since jumping bail more than a decade ago, Gray and his clan have effectively outlasted the administrations of four local sheriffs, all of whom have decided that John Joe's arrest is not worth the risk of a violent confrontation.
