Vanity, Who are the Sovreign Citizens?
Vanity ^ | 8-8-2014 | MtnClimber

I was in a government threat briefing recently and they brought up the "Sovreign Citizen" movement as a threat even before islamic extreamism. I had never heard of Sovreign Citizen, but I surely have heard and seen the destruction by islamic exremists. Am I missing something? Are these Sovreign Citizens just labels being tagged to TEA Party members? I am just suspicious that the greatest security threat in the USA is a group I have never heard of. Can anyone fill me in on this?

There are no “sovereign citizens”.

There are sovereigns and there are citizens.

a “citizen” is: a member of a political body who owes allegiance to the government and gets protection in return.

Wikipedia would never give an unbiased view on this. Before corporatism, ie social security, we were ALL sovereign, free, and in charge of the government. Now we are servants.

I have studied the SC movement in the past. The basics of their position is that when the state gives you a name(on your birth cert.) you are then the property of the state(in the simplest form). I believe there is some validity to their position. That said they have been overrun with people that just don't like authority and there is no "organized"; movement outside of small independent groups that often center on a family unit. Many Freepers hold the same beliefs as the the thinking Sc's.

Back in the 1950’s it was in the papers that two women on a farm in east Texas had declared their property to be a sovereign state independent of the U.S. They named their fifty acre country “Eneri” (Irene spelled backwards) with its capital “Lraep” (Pearl spelled backwards) located in the farmhouse as Eneri’s seat of government.

Don’t know what became of that experiment in sovereignty.

Sovereign citizens are no threat to you. The Federal govt feels threatened because they subscribe to the Constitution pre 14th amendment. They basically want the govt to butt out of their business. They refuse to go before a magistrate which most people don’t know is totally legal. You always have the right to demand a jury trial. Even for a traffic ticket.

The sovereign citizen movement is kind of complicated and you should google it and read up on it.
