    Huh, never heard of a foreigner trying sovcit tactics in a US court. It’s funny how so many of these cases seem to rely on “if you can’t beat em, confuse em.” I guess congrats to that guy. I’m curious to know more about the strange passport.

      Lol… This wasn’t a foreigner. This was a guy that relinquished their drivers license, social security number and US citizenship. He was pulled over and charged with no drivers license and providing false documents. I think the video of his case was deleted since the courts aren’t obligated to keep them long term.

        Oh, that’s even weirder. So he relinquished all that and then got citizenship for another country? Or had no official citizenship anywhere and was still here? Just made up his own passport? Confused about how he would manage to travel abroad or do anything official like that.

          Nah, he probably just “declared” (in the Michael Scott from The Office sense) himself to be a citizen of Madethefuckupistan. Or he doesn’t believe “countries” are real things that exist, or something. You’re vastly underestimating how batshit insane the chucklefucks really are.

          This guy seemed like a true believer. I tried digging up some of the videos that were later in the proceedings where he explains his documentation but I could only find the arrangement. This is the guy. . All I could find is a reaction video, so I’m sorry about the commentary.

            oh boy. I’ve never heard a judge be so completely done with it before the discussion even starts, lmao around 9:38 when the judge is looking at the federal counterfiling against him and is like “oh it’s great pleadings, it cites Abraham and the book of nations and a bunch of other jabberwocky.” Thanks for sharing!
