PatriotMythDebunker (OP) User ID: 1284768 United States 04/14/2011 07:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "The government of Germany had a meeting and several of their officials spoke at this meeting, and the topic of discussion was about this republic. They were very excited and very supportive overall about this republic and they wanted to know more about it." - Tim Turner, 4/13 confernece call Hes still going with this "oh yeah we have all this support from all these other countries" - isn't interesting that none of these countries shows ANY outward support and none of them are willing to put up a DIME of funding. I mean, if Germany LOVES RuSA so much why don't they loan them $1 million or so for a starting budget. Since Tim has said he has tons of gold anyways, so it would be easy to pay back. |
Nailer45 User ID: 1338039 United States 04/14/2011 07:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | the restore America plan is one big failure as they do not call upon the people to revolt against big government openly. You have to get the peoples support and have a leader . talk talk talk is just that talk. Action speaks louder than words. Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny. Thomas Jefferson |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 1284768 United States 04/14/2011 05:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I listed to the 4/13 conference call and was absolutely amazed: nothing new. Well I guess I'm not really amazed, as when your running a fake government you can't have that much new to report except when you make it up. And the problem has been Tim has made up so much and delivered so little that he can't make up much more before the entire scam comes falling down. |

That's why most of those posts are going unfilled because anyone with half a brain knows this. Look what happened to those Republic of Texas guys some years back. Most of them are doing very long prison terms(kidnapping etc.) If you want to do something akin to this one must follow the law/Constitution. See link below for the RIGHT way to go about doing things. [link to groups.yahoo.com] |

The whole Rod Class/Dr. Dale Livingstone thing really tossed him around a little bit. Those "101 Ways to Torture Government Officials to Death" essay that Livingstone wrote did a number on Kennedy's credibility with the dumb and gullible (RAP-Sheep). You can find all sorts of info on Kennedy/Unger online if you do a little digging. Google terms that work: "Sam the scam Kennedy" "Sam Kennedy, Richard Glenn Unger" "Richard Glenn Unger, dentist" "Richard Glenn Unger, New York" "Sam Kennedy, Guardians of the Free Republics" You can probably figure out others on your own from that sample list. |

PatriotMythDebunker (OP) User ID: 1284768 United States 04/15/2011 06:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Latest rambling from the RuSA faithful: [link to republicfortheunitedstates.org] What is so ironic is that the very "legal lunacy" being discussed is the entire concept of RuSA - complete and utter legal mythology. Just shows RuSA is no more than a handful of patriot wackos arguing with each other while trying to play government. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1343713 United States 04/15/2011 07:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The sad thing is that Tim Turner is such an incompetent idiot that far too many disgruntled restored republicans will miss the bigger picture. Yes, Tim couldn't pour piss out of a boot if the instructions were written on the heel but he isn't the real problem. The real problem is sovereign paytriot mythology and all the manifest stupidity it encompasses. First off, there is no notion of "individual sovereignty" in the constitution. It isn't in the declaration of independence, the federalist papers, the anti federalist papers or any of the other foundational documents of this nation. Some sovereign types will correctly point out that the term "sovereign citizen" is an oxymoron but what they fail to grasp is that so is "individual sovereignty," at least in so far as there are more than one individual. The government of the United States is in fact a republic, it might not be the government you want but it is a republic. It was never abandoned so it can not be "re-inhabited." Congress adjourns sine die every two years, the 111th congress adjourned sine die on the 3rd of January of this year and now the 112th congress is in session. In that exact same way the 36th congress adjourned to be replaced with the 37th congress on March 4th 1861. Our republic didn't come to an end on January 3rd of this year just because the congress adjourned sine die and the republic didn't end on March 4th 1861 when the same thing happened. But when the southern states seceded didn't that prevent congress from attaining a quorum? No, it didn't. Kansas became the 34th state in January of 1861 and total number of states to secede was 11. The constitution defines quorum as "majority" or more than 50% which isn't impossible to achieve when less than 1/3rd of the states secede. So the republic was never abandoned so it can not be re-inhabited. Sorry. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1343713I think what this shows above all is that, for RuSA members, its about the desire to BELIEVE. Facts do not matter. Yea, that much was clear last August after Regan and Tom botched their power play by trying to replace Tim with Dr. "101 Tortures to the Death" Livingston. While the game of hot potato Tim played with the RAP title was amusing the significant upshot wasn't changing RAP to RuSA it was shifting to a completely faith based foundation for their new republic. I'm not anti Christian by any means but i do know that most of the people who most desperately want you to take everything they say on faith are the last people you should trust. RAP was hemorrhaging membership and all the bold pronouncements Tim made had gone for naught. He pretty much had already alienated anyone to whom pesky little things like facts could matter to so it was actually a fairly shrewd move on his part to start holding weekly prayer meetings and pretending that he was on a mission from God. One small problem with all of that, God blesses those he ordains and are faithful to him. Trials and tribulations to be sure but "by their faith you shall know them" cuts both ways. Tim doesn't have faith in his followers, how long can he claim to be too busy to sit down and answer questions while he's waiting for his passport? Nah, Tim's republic is dead. The only suspense left if to see which of the national team gets the blame and which ones give it. One of these days I'd really like to meet Tim Turner while fishing, not so much to talk to him or ask him any questions. But rather because it's the last honest work he's ever done and for his souls sake I'd like to see him return to it. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1344974 United States 04/16/2011 09:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The following link is neither current nor strictly RuSA related, but it is darn funny. David Russell Myrland is something of a sovereign guru and much like Tim's Republic Rangers, he figured his sovereign legal (sorry, lawful) magic powers would let him arrest judges: [link to www.seattlepi.com] Subsequent to that article Mr.Myrland's trail date has been set, for Sept. 12, 2011. And yes, they are keeping him locked up at until then and most likely for long after. Funny thing about threatening Judges with physical violence, for some reason it makes them just a tad bit less sympathetic at the bail hearing. Go figure. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1093617 United States 04/17/2011 01:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One of the base "proofs" of the validity of the sov'run mythology is based on erroneous belief...try convincing them. The idea is that your birth certificate is used as collateral on loans to the treasury and is actually a naval birthing certificate under admiralty law or some shit. They say the proof is right on the birth certificate itself. Your name in all capital letters (JOHN DOE SMITH) is actually a legal loophole that classifies the name as a corporate slave under roman and admiralty law (Capitus Diminutiae Maximae) and the red stamped control number at the bottom, which is usually preceded by a "B" is actually your treasury direct account number (when combined with the SS number or something) and the "B" stands for "Bond" because that what it is actually a certificate of. Under admiralty law, the STRAWMAN attached to the corporate berthing certificate is responsible for all debts, crimes or any other action which could result in court involvement. But the "Flesh and Blood Person Created by God in Christ Jesus" (or whatever) is not responsible because "John-Smith: Doe" (or whatever) isn't the same person as JOHN SMITH DOE. The fact of the matter is that the "B" doesn't stand for "Bond" at all. I ordered a copy of my birth certificate, and when I received it there was in fact a red stamped B########. Are they right? Well, I ordered a copy of my aunt's birth certificate as a surviving relative doing genealogical research along with a copy of her death certificate. She was born in 1950 (long after "the Republic was abandoned and the people reduced to paper chattel"). Her birth certificate also had a red stamped B####### at the bottom of it. Her death certificate also had a matching red stamped number at the bottom of it. Preceded by the letter "D". |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1341827 United Kingdom 04/23/2011 06:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well guys I think its really the end for RuSA. I listened to the past week's conference call and it was all a recitation of the tired and debunked patriot propaganda. Quoting: PatriotMythDebunker 1284768Its dead in the water, folks. Agreed. I posted this on the former-RuSA thread (the big one that went off-topic):- "Those who think the current govt is wonderful will believe what they will. Those who think Tim Turner was hand-picked by Jesus, has $600 trillion of gold under his bed, can cure leukemia in 5 days, is being followed around by Navy Seals (who aren't trained in CQP (Close Quarters Protection) bodyguard tactics anyway), etc, will follow him off the edge of a cliff like sheep. And those in the middle who for a while gave TRAP / RuSA the benefit of the doubt but are smart enough to ask questions and actually expect answers beyond pious sermons / religious vanity / cult of personality / excuses / propaganda tactics are gradually in the process of moving on. Not much left to discuss because RuSA has no answers, and people have stopped asking questions after "seeing the writing on the wall". The year long "do not question" honeymoon is over other than a few dozen people on the sheeple (Andy's) blog whose solution to all the world's problems is to eat chocolate and read out quotes. Have a Happy Easter all." |

There IS a code for my last name, AND my Mothers maiden name, but they're soundex codes (letter and 3 numbers). Used a LOT in genealogy, and census sorting and searching. The only OTHER number (not directly related to the birth) is the year, a dash, and a 6 digit number which is simply a filing ID. Oh, BTW, it DOES SAY, at the top, CERTIFICATION OF VITAL RECORD!!!!! And it WAS good enough to get a new (replacement) Social Security card, registration for Veterans Administration medical care, California ID card, AND a U.S. Passport!!! |
