This was in the Montreal Gazette in the “Legal Notices” section today. I know that I should attempt to summarize this but I honestly don’t know how I can as it is just so bizarre and drawn out. As the topic title asks, is this someone’s sovereign citizen thing or is it actually valid, legal stuff? Here’s the link and the actual text follows:
“The living man on the land jean-denis of the boudreault family known by the Trade Name Jean-Denis Boudreault and his wife also on the land katherine of the boudreault family known by the Trade Name Katherine Siavichay currently living in lower canada and lawfully married on the land before God on December 18 2008, announce that they have created 3 new lives all born on the land, a daughter on September 1 2011, a son on June 7 2013 and another son September 3 2016 whose trade names shall be respectively Zia Boudreault, Lucas Boudreault and Raphael Boudreault and they claim their new creations as their true-born daughter and two sons, heirs and dependents and also announce that their heirs are alive and healthy and well on the land as of today. They jointly agree to transfer to them all their claims and rights to the common law copyrights and trademarks and all derivatives thereof of each Trade Name that they created and donated to each respective heir automatically when they reach the age of eighteen. They also jointly agree to emancipate their heirs automatically when they reach the age of eighteen and declare before all men and nations that they are otherwise subject only to God and this for eternity.”
One more silly thing is they have to get a court - which is run by the government they think has no jurisdiction over them - to enforce their claim. So not only do they expect the court to support them, but even if they support them, they have no jurisdiction to support him.
Yup, that’s a “these magic words will get me out of my unsecured debt/minor legal problems” announcement all the way.
It’s ALWAYS debt or legal problems. At least 98% of them. Since these two appear to be married it’s not alimony or child support they’re trying to avoid, so it’s probably that they’re setting themselves up to get out of some kind of debt, tax owing, or traffic tickets or some such crap.
There’s a bunch near here, who apparently believe, in addition to the usual sovereign citizen mumbo-jumbo, that they can occupy houses that don’t belong to them, and that somehow the law permits them to do so.
Moorish Sovereign Citizens are a subset of sovcits. Actually, maybe that’s not right. They’re a crackpot group who have some beliefs that overlap with the sovereign citizen movement, but their origins are completely different.
I think their punchline is the final clause of the final sentence:
They also jointly agree to emancipate their heirs automatically when they reach the age of eighteen and declare before all men and nations that they are otherwise subject only to God and this for eternity.”
Italics mine. IMO …
They are hereby declaring that their children and all subsequent descendants are immune from taxation, laws, and all other manmade strictures for all time. Since right now their kids are their sole property over whom they are the sole sovereign, this immunity is a right they can invent and apply to them. As a result, everyone else on Earth just has to suck it up and agree. So there neener!!
Arrant (and errant, and arrogant) nonsense of course. But at least they had the writing skill to put their conclusion at the end of the story. So often that’s missing from SovCit garbage.
This sent me to my copy of the Gazette and sure enough, it was there just as quoted. I had my wife, who had never heard of sovereign citizens before, read it and she was dumbfounded.
Has anyone told these clowns that they are trespassing whenever they walk on a public sidewalk?
