There is a very interesting story to tell about how the White right are now glomping onto conspiracy theories which had their origins in Black nationalist paranoia of the 70s and 80s - eg anti-vaxxer stuff, the idea that the NWO wants to "depopulate Africa", etc.

The damn broke on the evening of November 4, 2008. These asshats went to bed knowing their world of unquestioned white male privilege had changed forever.

No burning shit down? Now where`s the fun in that? It`s not official unless at least one column of smoke can be seen over the horizon.

This is what I need to read in the morning before coffee. Stupid but mostly benign shit. Not people's links about backstabbing LGB groups and cops shooting people to death.

Why does he think it's okay to film people walking in and out of a courthouse?

One of the most important rules Carl Swensson and Thomas David Deegan could learn from their failed overthrow and foiled seizure of West Virginia's government is no different than the rules for Fight Club:

RULES FOR COUP CLUB:#1 Don't talk about Coup Club.#2 Never talk about Coup Club.#3 Lastly but not leastly, never, EVER publically announce the future scheduled date of your coup, overthrow and seizure of a government.

Throughout mankind's history of treasonous, traitorous, seditionist acts in pursuit of couping, overthrowing and seizuring of governments, we've learned one irrefutable fact. The fact is that publically announcing your coup date weeks ahead of said scheduled coup date has never ever, not even once lead to a successful coup, not even a little.

The only time coup dates should be publically announced is if the plan involves some sort of Trojan Horse trickery, some double-reverse espionage to distract the targets whilst couping them, overthrowing them and seizing them elsewhere.

But we're talking about sovereign citizens here who deem themselves constitutional scholars, masters of American history and the bravest patriots who ever braved. So, the odds are somewhere between zero and duh that these geniuses were planning some double-reverse Trojan Horse-type, James Bond kind of coupy caper.

Well he's showing everyone exactly what sovereign citizens are.

People who believe the laws are what they want them to be screw everything else.

I don't get the impression that the sovereign citizen movement is more (or less) racist than the general level one finds among RWNJs. It more about the grift.
