Guardians of the Free Republics

The "Guardians of the Free Republics" just made it into the news by sending letters to 30 governors demanding that they resign. After perusing their web site, I suspect that they meant to warn all the governors but either don't know how many states there are or couldn't find the other 20 addresses. Consider these planks from their online platform:
  • Restore and reinhabit the de jure institutions of lawful government.
  • Terminate illicit corporations posing as legitimate governments, in particular the territorial jurisdiction United States Federal Corporation (corp. ref. 28 U.S.C. 3002) posing as the de jure United States of America.
This notion that the US government is actually a corporation reappears several times on the site, as in:
  • Terminate the intrusion of corporations posing as the state into every aspect of the People’s lives.
Away with this bogus distinction between left and right -- the government and corporations are the same thing, so let's abolish them both!

There is a lot of grief against having to carry identification, obtain licenses, and that sort of thing:
  • End street assaults against the sovereign People for failing to exhibit a State-issued confession of subject-class citizenship.
  • End the use of covert contracts such as Form 1040, car registrations, birth certificate applications, and bank signature cards which confess the signer to be a legal fiction subject of the United States Federal Corporation (“U.S. person”) that has waved his/her rights in favor of state-issued privileges.
There is some simple misunderstanding:
  • End the use of deeds which classify the People as “tenants” on their own land, thereby transferring control to incorporated County registrars and tax assessors.
(Imagine the scene at the title office when the author of this one exploded at the suggestion that he was going to be a "tenant" on his own land.)

They are very interested in eliminating prosecution for victimless crimes, like violations of zoning ordinances:
  • End all prosecutions which lack an injured party.
Of course they hate taxes, but in their own weird way:
  • End tax prosecutions for resisting the transfer of private wealth to foreign banking cartels such as I.R.S. (former Puerto Rico Bureau of Taxation).
Their final argument seems to be the unbelievably stupid assertion of the "Free Men," who aspire to be their own countries:
  • In place of all of the above, substitute sovereign identification, diplomatic immunity and sovereign passports to facilitate safe passage throughout the world free from corporate State molestation and terror.
The existence of people like these weirdos is a good reason to hope we never achieve real democracy. As long as or society is dominated by elites, we may continue to have grotesque inequality and pointless wars in faraway places, but we will at least be spared rule by the apostles of inarticulate rage.
