"Sovereign Citizen Movement"

Filed under: Uncategorized — keelyem @ 12:26 am

Here’s a group of people who really need to be reached with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It should be easy to find them, as most of them are in “Christian” churches every Sunday morning.

“Members of the sovereign citizen movement subscribe to an ideology, originated by the anti-Semitic Posse Comitatus of the 1980s, that claims that whites are a higher kind of citizen, subject only to “common law,” not the dictates of the government. Blacks are mere “14th Amendment citizens” who must obey their government masters. Although not all sovereigns subscribe to or even know about the theory’s racist basis, most contend that they do not have to pay taxes, are not subject to most laws, and are not citizens of the United States. Authorities and anecdotal evidence suggest that sovereign citizens — who, along with tax protesters and militia members, form the larger Patriot movement — may make up the most dramatically reenergized sector of the radical right.” (Utne Reader, from Larry Keller in Intelligence Report, January-February 2010)
