I'm 2 paragraphs in and I'm tapping out, I'm pretty sure I can feel my brain melting from the inside and I don't wanna make a mess on my keyboard by reading further.
And why is it called tapping out? That's right, because in professional wrestling, those who give up the fight tap the floor! They're teaching your kids to give up! 😡
The president represent leadership. What is lead? A poisonous metal. And the president? Like the dent left in a baby's head when the nurse drops him in the maternity ward.
Maybe he meant dock-oar. Like a contrived term for a rower of a boat, and just didn't think to check the difference between ore and oar. Not that it's any less stupid
Oh no, it’s better than that. Doctor sounds like Dock-ore and ore sounds like oar so everything related to giving birth is actually nautical themed, and this is the reason the US court system (which is all a naval court system by the way) has legal power over people.
The Dock-Ore brings in the valuable ore/cargo (the baby, for the sane folks playing along at home) and takes blood samples from the sole of the baby’s feet (and sole sounds like soul, so they’re actually taking soul samples) so the US government can claim you as property and auction off your DNA.
Why are they so infatuated with this weirdo naval law thing they have going on? Like asking judges if they adjudicate under banner of a maritime vessel according to the Queen of Roxbury statute because otherwise their conveyance would be considered void by rite of Shaka when the walls fell. They just love maritime law for some reason.
They have this weird theory that the naval courts took over all the other courts a few centuries ago. Under the secret command of the Templars, of course (who secretly control the Red Cross, the Swiss, and the British Royalty—you can tell by the red crosses on their stuff).
You know how when you're a teenager, you're told you should "grow up and get a job"? Ever notice how "job" also refers to biblical texts that say at the end of your inevitable suffering, God will be with you, for he is just? Also worth noting: suffering is very close to surfing, i.e. travel via ocean, which is like a boat. Another big boat was the ark, pointing again! to the Bible. Remember when I said "grow up" earlier? That is probably because it is so close to "group", which, with the other noted connotations, ties in with biblical stories = Bible Group. Because all of these messages come together when you are a teen, obviously we are talking about children's Bible study. "Children's" can be shortened to the word "chirruns", aka "trains" so Trains Bible Study would be manufacturers instructions for freight trains, which could *also" mean "fraught trains", because ghosts.
The fallacy, among others, they're committing is called equivocation, by the way. They use a meaning of one word one minute and another the next, when it suits them to win the confrontation.
This is why debate and talking don't actually solve problems. People can and will just do stupid shit like this in bad faith to get you to acquiesce to them or stop challenging them.
People like that need ass-beatings until they're willing to conform to the dictionary's definitions of words and the rules of debate.
The word is ent -omology. The root “ent” comes from the word “ant,” because we are all ants under god’s magnifying glass (a.k.a. “The ozone layer”), and “omology” comes from the secret chant from the knights Templar (the pope’s secret army boyz), and it roughly translates to “nana nana poo poo” because the Illuminati is so brazen that they hide clues and taunts everywhere, from word structure to the writing that appears on my bathroom mirror when I take a shower and the humidity (a.k.a. “Water air,” or “O2h2O,” commonly written as “uwu” by the pope’s online army boyz) makes the mirror taste good.
Get one of these sovereign citizens to gather up all of their official ... "documents". Next, stick them on a plane and drop them off on another continent, and then watch them throw their sovereign citizen weight around, and try to get back to the country where they refuse to cooperate with basic laws, rules and regulations.
I definitely would like to see how a sovereign citizen's homemade passport would go over in Uzbekistan, Zimbabwe, or Cambodia.
Oh it's definitely a thing abroad as well. Mainly in English speaking countries but it exists and it's batshit. Chek out Munecats video on it. It's great.
Of specific interest, is seeing how they would attempt to get home. Being difficult on home soil is very different from being an idiot far away from home, with nothing but props for legal documents.
I believe the reason for that high rating is a form of selection bias maybe? Like if you go to IMDb you will see that live performances have a very high rating and I think is that you only gonna watch and rate if you are already fan of the band. In this case normal people are not gonna buy and read this book, only people who already agree with this nonsense.
The hospital thing is partly true, though meaningless when it comes to avoiding taxes or speeding tickets. They weren't really a private army of the Vatican, though they did have knights and stuff. Extremely interesting fact: the Knights Hospitalier had a large (non-combat) air force for a minute due to technically being a country with no land. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1151832864494903296.html
Isn't it wild? I just joined one out of curiosity via a Reddit post, and since then I've fallen down all their rabbit holes. There's thousands in their groups and they're all equally bonkers. Never seen anything like it!
It's pretty sad. My mom fell into it hard around 2018, and back in 2020 when I stopped talking to her she was going on about how some guy in Montana was now the official ruler of the US because he filed an application to claim the United States flag during some obligatory grace period before the US sold it to the King of England. Mind you, this was before the queen died - she was convinced that the previous king was still alive and scheming to regain British ownership of the US, and that this Montana guy saved it at the last second. She was literally crying in joy.
Not sure if it was actually a SovCit conspiracy, or if it was Q or something else. Once she was down the rabbit hole she spent literally all day on YouTube just watching conspiracy videos.
You know, when I was a kid, I'd see crazy people in asylums on TV shows like the 3 Stooges just laughing it up, having a great time. I thought "man, it must be great to be crazy, look at all the fun they're having, not a care in the world!" Now, as a 'grown up', I see mental illness everywhere, and those suffering from it like Trump supporters or flat earthers or sovereign citizens are so deeply angry and sad and lost, I almost feel bad for them. Almost.
Don’t forget all the other shitty things on display. Bad habits, anger problems, addiction, poverty, ostentatious wealth, authoritarianism…. You mentioned the 3 Stooges, and man that show was full of everything wrong. But that’s what made it funny. Everyone could see some of the same thing in their daily lives.
The book store near where I grew up had a section with all these types of books. When I was young, I went out of my way to check them out because I was fascinated with ufo's and conspiracies and wanted to buy one. I remember flipping through a few books and it was all pure word salad. I was like, how am I supposed to learn about all these cool supposed theories when they've all lost the ability to command the English language let alone some sort of coherent narrative thread.
I did read a few pages of a book like this once in a bookstore I worked in, had a bit more of a religious bent. We used to read each other passages of crazy for amusement. I'm sure there's plenty of conservative Christians who believe this stuff. Ever seen snake handling church?
It feels like I'm reading a 4chan shitpost from someone who actually bought into all the fucking stupidity, but trimmed the part blasting the ships of relation, friend and owner.
This guy has read one book (the Bible), and seen one movie (The Matrix). And didn’t understand either of them in the least, but was very impressed by them regardless. The entire book is filled with misappropriated quotes and stuff from both.
My favorite part so far is how he twisted the ‘Covenant with the Lord’ to: ‘coven-ant’ or a coven of witches worshipping their Lord Demons.
You mean the documentary they forgot to censor that exposed the grand conspiracy as TRUTH? The documentary they tried to pass off as normal trash cinema with the following 2 movies?! Didn't you ever wonder why the first was so good and the others were so bad?
Not something I'm particularly proud of, but at one point I was looking into the sovereign dealio with a little bit more than intellectual interest. "Are these guys on to something?" "What would happen if we ALL decided to do it?" I never went as far as getting a license plate, but... Hold on. Come to think of it, it was never even CLOSE to getting a license plate because I knew that it was all bull crap. Never mind. :)
Eh, it's about on par with Eric Cartman's 'evidence' that Wendy Testaburger wants to kill all the smurfs. To anyone not in the know, they were satirizing Glenn Beck, who was a popular conservative shill at the time who did exactly that on TV but about Obama or something
I like how they call the Knights Hospitallers a secret society when they were under a Papal charter and actually colonized a few Caribbean islands at one point.
I mean, in a couple of contexts, they're not wrong. You do sign your naturally born offspring over to the government to be registered and turned into a product. We are all cattle to the government and ruling class. Have a child in the woods, don't tell anyone, that child is "free" (although will have trouble doing anything outside of being a hunter/gatherer). But the etymologizing and conspiracy theories about everything else are ridiculous.
I'm 2 paragraphs in and I'm tapping out, I'm pretty sure I can feel my brain melting from the inside and I don't wanna make a mess on my keyboard by reading further.
And why is it called tapping out? That's right, because in professional wrestling, those who give up the fight tap the floor! They're teaching your kids to give up! 😡
I mean, that one's actually accurate, yeah?
They don't actually teach kids to do anything.
If at first you don't succeed, leap 18 feet off he'll in a cell and crash through the announcers table!
Good for you. I only made it to berth
The president represent leadership. What is lead? A poisonous metal. And the president? Like the dent left in a baby's head when the nurse drops him in the maternity ward.
It all lines up, folks.
You're probably right to do so. It just gets more painful.
What in the flying hell is a “dock-ore”?
Obviously it means dock, as in where a ship moors, and ore, a common product on ships /s
But unironocally, that's probably exactly their reasoning...
A buck gets ten you’re exactly right.
Maybe he meant dock-oar. Like a contrived term for a rower of a boat, and just didn't think to check the difference between ore and oar. Not that it's any less stupid
Oh no, it’s better than that. Doctor sounds like Dock-ore and ore sounds like oar so everything related to giving birth is actually nautical themed, and this is the reason the US court system (which is all a naval court system by the way) has legal power over people.
The Dock-Ore brings in the valuable ore/cargo (the baby, for the sane folks playing along at home) and takes blood samples from the sole of the baby’s feet (and sole sounds like soul, so they’re actually taking soul samples) so the US government can claim you as property and auction off your DNA.
This is like Billy Madison's answer to the Industrial Revolution question.
I do feel dumber after reading it
...and may God have mercy on your soul.
I'll never get these people. There's this vast conspiracy... But they they intentionally leave all these fucking hints?
Maybe it's more fun being a secret society that runs the world if the only people who can figure it out are the stupidest fuckers in the world
Hey I like this. It's kind of a conspiracy theory all of its own.
Nothing's worse than a funny illuminatus 🧐
When exactly did reddit figure it out?
Are you kidding? They found the Boston bomber remember?!
wasn't that the hacker 4 chan?
They're living in a fairy tale. So to them, government works like making a deal with the devil: he's allowed to deceive you but he can't lie to you.
Father of lies. Not allowed to lie.
Hmm, yep, totally no issues there.
That’s because They doesn’t want you to know about what’s actually going on, which is placed in plain sight.
Why are they so infatuated with this weirdo naval law thing they have going on?

I believe there is also a sub-set that believe that because they are not under US law, that only maritime law can apply to them.
I think it’s more like they think that since they’re not a ship, unlike the rest of us sheeple (shiple?) that maritime law doesn’t apply.
Tembu, his arms open!
Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra
Brian, his license plate missing, his car impounded
But blue dude, when the dock-ore signed?
Stormee, when the P. Barnes stopped her. A camera, in the courthouse.
The law of the sea. Who doesn't love that?
This is a sort of word salad / free association / confabulation that is typical of schizophrenia

You were worryingly good at that..

They don't need beatings, they need high doses of Haloperidol.
Have you ever thought about about words? Have you ever thought about how some words mean some thing, while other words mean a different thing?
Words, man.
c/badetymology ?
The word is ent -omology. The root “ent” comes from the word “ant,” because we are all ants under god’s magnifying glass (a.k.a. “The ozone layer”), and “omology” comes from the secret chant from the knights Templar (the pope’s secret army boyz), and it roughly translates to “nana nana poo poo” because the Illuminati is so brazen that they hide clues and taunts everywhere, from word structure to the writing that appears on my bathroom mirror when I take a shower and the humidity (a.k.a. “Water air,” or “O2h2O,” commonly written as “uwu” by the pope’s online army boyz) makes the mirror taste good.
it’s all connected
Something that I'd be interested in seeing:
Get one of these sovereign citizens to gather up all of their official ... "documents". Next, stick them on a plane and drop them off on another continent, and then watch them throw their sovereign citizen weight around, and try to get back to the country where they refuse to cooperate with basic laws, rules and regulations.
I definitely would like to see how a sovereign citizen's homemade passport would go over in Uzbekistan, Zimbabwe, or Cambodia.
I would also enjoy this. One tried to go someplace with her "world passport" and has it seized.
I can stop you there
No you can't! I'm a sovereign thought experiment citizen!
Oh it's definitely a thing abroad as well. Mainly in English speaking countries but it exists and it's batshit. Chek out Munecats video on it. It's great.
Of specific interest, is seeing how they would attempt to get home. Being difficult on home soil is very different from being an idiot far away from home, with nothing but props for legal documents.
Took some googling but found the actual book the quote is from.
Surprisingly high rating
I am of a firm belief that what words we use do matter a lot and shapes our perception of the world but this is some outlandish shit
Edit: Link to book on drive
I believe the reason for that high rating is a form of selection bias maybe? Like if you go to IMDb you will see that live performances have a very high rating and I think is that you only gonna watch and rate if you are already fan of the band. In this case normal people are not gonna buy and read this book, only people who already agree with this nonsense.

Oh that is interesting, thank you!
You betcha, corporation doing business as BonesOfTheMoon!
This is some pretty off-target ideation.
There's a whole book about it and it is hilarious.
Love these posts bones! I had no idea this was such a big movement.
Isn't it wild? I just joined one out of curiosity via a Reddit post, and since then I've fallen down all their rabbit holes. There's thousands in their groups and they're all equally bonkers. Never seen anything like it!

Oh that I've never heard of?
Not sure if it was actually a SovCit conspiracy, or if it was Q or something else. Once she was down the rabbit hole she spent literally all day on YouTube just watching conspiracy videos.
It's such a loose term that she probably qualifies. They aren't very organized.
The previous king was George V. He died of cancer in 1951 or so....and if he didn't....ow my temporal lobe
The Venn diagram overlap of people who know how to insert footnotes and people with untreated Schizophrenia must be pretty small.
You know, when I was a kid, I'd see crazy people in asylums on TV shows like the 3 Stooges just laughing it up, having a great time. I thought "man, it must be great to be crazy, look at all the fun they're having, not a care in the world!"

This has to be a troll.
Please be a troll.
It's a book!
The book store near where I grew up had a section with all these types of books. When I was young, I went out of my way to check them out because I was fascinated with ufo's and conspiracies and wanted to buy one. I remember flipping through a few books and it was all pure word salad.

It looks more like a sincere but mentally ill person to me. But there's no way to know.
It feels like I'm reading a 4chan shitpost from someone who actually bought into all the fucking stupidity, but trimmed the part blasting the ships of relation, friend and owner.
That's a pretty convoluted way to say people are required to work under our (or really any realistic) economy.
I love these guys, and all the conspiracy or conspiracy adjacent people (as long as they're mostly harmless.)
I'm jealous of all of them. The world they live in is so much more interesting than mine.
Sovereign Citizens practicing witchcraft is my favorite thing.
Holy shit the fact that this document has more than 40 footnotes is mind numbing
This is just a page!
Ew. This reads like the sort of bullshit my mother regurgitates. 🤮🤮🤮
You might want to get her declared mentally incompetent before she gives all her money away to a scammer or something.
You overestimate how little I care about her.
Besides, she’s been buying bullshit like colloidal silver and “homeopathic remedies” longer than I’ve been alive.
Seems inspired by The Matrix with the human battery stuff
This guy has read one book (the Bible), and seen one movie (The Matrix). And didn’t understand either of them in the least, but was very impressed by them regardless. The entire book is filled with misappropriated quotes and stuff from both.
My favorite part so far is how he twisted the ‘Covenant with the Lord’ to: ‘coven-ant’ or a coven of witches worshipping their Lord Demons.
He didn't even manage to work the ants in? I'm sure there was some potential there.
He did. Ant is apparently an old word for ‘oath’ or something, so when you get baptized you’re swearing an oath to a demon lord.
Ooohhh creepy!
You mean the documentary they forgot to censor that exposed the grand conspiracy as TRUTH? The documentary they tried to pass off as normal trash cinema with the following 2 movies?! Didn't you ever wonder why the first was so good and the others were so bad?
Wake up, Neo.
i love sovereign citizens. they just walk right into their own pitfalls and it's a joy to see.
And they are always totally surprised by the fact nobody wants to accept their homemade license plates or whatever.
A little kNaWLedGe is a dangerous thing
It's got electrolytes! Idiocracy is a documentary. Lol
It's depressing how accurate that movie is.
I would literally vote for Terry Cruz right now if I could. Even with him drinking a beer riding a motorcycle.
WOW.
Not something I'm particularly proud of, but at one point I was looking into the sovereign dealio with a little bit more than intellectual interest. "Are these guys on to something?" "What would happen if we ALL decided to do it?" I never went as far as getting a license plate, but... Hold on. Come to think of it, it was never even CLOSE to getting a license plate because I knew that it was all bull crap. Never mind. :)
It's always ok to dream. But don't make homemade plates.
In terms of word play this is brilliant.
In the point they were trying to make its Trumpian.
Eh, it's about on par with Eric Cartman's 'evidence' that Wendy Testaburger wants to kill all the smurfs. To anyone not in the know, they were satirizing Glenn Beck, who was a popular conservative shill at the time who did exactly that on TV but about Obama or something
Reading this sounds like one of those "In Living Color" skits where Damon Wayans played a hotep.
8 fucking years I spend in meh-dickle school just for this bitch to leak the whole birth certificate scam?
Well dock-ore, perhaps you needed to spend more time on Facebook then.
Nevermind the fact thar the word cell predates electricity storing devices. Does the book goes back to linking batteries with ships or what?
I like how they call the Knights Hospitallers a secret society when they were under a Papal charter and actually colonized a few Caribbean islands at one point.
They can't even get their crazy shit straight. Hospitallers weren't part of the Templars.
Are you familiar with sovereign citizens? They're even dumber!
I mean, in a couple of contexts, they're not wrong. You do sign your naturally born offspring over to the government to be registered and turned into a product. We are all cattle to the government and ruling class. Have a child in the woods, don't tell anyone, that child is "free" (although will have trouble doing anything outside of being a hunter/gatherer). But the etymologizing and conspiracy theories about everything else are ridiculous.
Downvoted, but am I lying?
I guess it is not lying when you believe it yourself. That does not make it true though.
