They are anti government, but they are nutters.
I think it was in Louisiana a couple years ago that a group of 6 meth heads calling themselves sovereign citizens ambushed and killed a cop.
I live in the heart of Hutaree territory and they are a whole different animal. Mike Meeks spoke at a townhall meeting a while back just to answer questions from the locals. He made it very clear that they are not anti government and have no plans to overthrow anything outside the ballot box. Said they don’t like to pay taxes but will do so when there are no legal means to avoid them.
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.
