I enjoy conspiracy theories much the same way as some enjoy the Three Stoogies - good old fashioned laughs. The Chemtrails bit appears on Coast-to-Coast AM on a regular basis (the result of people not knowing basic, grade-school science).
Did he ever admit that the U.S. did not sink the Kursk before he was banned?
Affirmative.
. . . IOW, don't sweat it. This one's come up before, it's just a crackpot notion. The last guy who was pushing it here on FR . . . Rivero something . . . had it all tied in with the idea that attorneys using the title of "Esquire" and judges using "Your Honor" meant that they were all taking "titles of nobility" as prohibited by the U.S. Constitution, and therefore they had abrogated the Constitution, and therefore they flew the fringed flags to let everybody know about the conspiracy . . . or something like that (if you have a conspiracy, why would you want to let everybody know about it?)
Haven't seen him around in awhile . . .
Admiralty Jurisdiction is in the Federal Courts. Even if the court is landlocked. (remember rivers can be navigable waters)
The fringe is treated as cosmetic and "neato". It is amusing to watch the fringe philosophers who try the "I don't understand" BS in the court room. If they would have shown some respect they would have gotten farther.
I remember him arguing about Admiralty jurisdiction too.
Well, you sure do meet a lot of . . . interesting people on FR, don't you?
Man, I may have to look at his archived posts. he sounds like a loon. Did he just cross the line between "amusingly nutty" to "call the guys with the butterfly nets"?
I always wondered what the next scam the revved Bev Harris would do to fleece the DUmmies of their welfare checks after the AWOL Bush and Black Box Voting petered out...
Bet she could sheer the flock one more time with this one. You should demand a percentage.

Oh no! You are one of THEM! :-)
Who's Bev Harris? I don't recognize the name.
If you would be most kind to look out your window now you will see and hear several dark olive helicopters. Wait for instructions. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE...
Aha! So you admit the fringed flag is tied into the Admiralty Law Conspiracy to deny African Americans the vote...
LOL! This thread is reminding me of the movie Conspiracy Theory.
Who you calling a pussy communist?
Admiralty law is expressly acknowledged by the Constitution and is not antithetical to the common law. Admiralty jurisdiction is one of the jurisdictions expressly conferred on the federal - common law - courts. Admiralty law rarely has anything to do with martial law, but mostly has to do with what happens when a ship is damaged or a cargo is screwed up.
Or the bullet and match.
It's just one of those things that anybody can believe anything they want about it.
But one thing is certain. Flags denote jurisdiction.
The Title IV, USC 1 flag (described in E.O. 10834) is the official flag of our country. It is the civilian flag and has very precise specifications based on ratios relative to hoist and fly.
Military and federal flags are based on size, not ratios, and may or may not have fringe, depending on their use.
Chances are that you will never see the civilian flag with the 1 to 1.9 ratio in a courtroom, for as noted in the article, most, if not all of our courts are under admiralty jurisdiction and the flags used therein are based on SIZE, not RATIO.
I don't know why that is so hard for anyone to understand. Even the flag manufacturers don't get it, for none of them manufacture a flag based on the E.O. 10834 ratios.
I think the objections to the fringed flag in school rooms and other municipal places are made because some feel the schools should be under the jurisdiction of the state, not the federal government. The same objections, of course, hold for the state and municipal courts as well as other state and municipal buildings.
How silly to think the federal government has assumed state and municipal powers just because their jurisdictional flag is displayed in our public buildings.
By co-inky-dink, I happened to post the EO 10834 Title IV flag spec sheet on another thread today. FWIW, here it is again. Don't shoot the messenger:
I have one sitting just behind me in my office.
BEWARE, PEONS!
