      I always come away from these with either laughing or confusion. Never anything between.

      You need to build up your sovcit propaganda tolerance, after a while you stop seeing individual phrases and most of the content is just chunks of copypasta from wannbe-darknet forums.

    “She shook her head yes”

    This line is all you need to see to know that this person is a moron or a lunatic.

    You don’t shake your head to say yes.

      Some people use that phrase to mean “nod”. It’s the same action just a different direction.

          It’s not great phrasing I agree… but it is a common way to describe it.

          It’s the action that matters not the description.

          If “she” (not clear who) moved her head back and forth in a vertical rotation, it doesn’t matter if you call it “shook her head yes” or “nodded”. The meaning is the same.

          If she moved her head back and forth in a horizontal rotation and this person interpreted that as a “yes”, then that is insanity.

      Whenever I see that line in books, I have taken it to mean a reluctant yes. As if the person is both shaking their head in exasperation and conceding something to the other person.

        It’s definitely a sign of being disingenuous. Either outright lying or placating the listener.

      I’m sure the instrument in question to discharge the debt references the special trust they believe is setup for them as a Corporation in their name at birth. And somehow the government owns the trust and despite the same government funding this trust, they hope you never use it so the government can get the money back. That’s how they try to discharge the debt towards this mythical trust that, if you just know enough magical sovcit phrases, you can access as the ‘natural’ person named in the trust.

        Sounds a lot like socialism to me. With hoops.

        Most sovcits also seem to be the libertarian type where the thought of socialism burns them like they’re a witch. Makes sense since they’re trying to find the magic words to make their debts disappear.

        To be fair, that sounds pretty awesome. If we gave every baby 20,000 dollars and held it for them until college or 20 years old we could actually give our kids a much better start as adults. It would cost roughly 72 Billion dollars a year, about on par with Veterans Affairs. And yeah some of them are going to blow it on a car. But others will turn it into their retirement or get a house or use it for job training.

    They truly believe they can cancel a debt if they just say the “right” words like it’s some sort of an incantation.

    I then said no if they have a problem they have to have a qualified third party state the issue and I then have 30 days to cure. She shook her head yes and did a continuance for 30 days. I when she said that I was like did she really say damn near the exact same thing the judge said to yusef in court!!

    Anyone wanna tell him what just happened isn’t what he thinks just happened?

    It took me a good couple of minutes to figure out what “had my spill in my head” was supposed to mean… I’m guessing they meant “spiel” lol

    Although with all the terrible grammar in this post it’s entirely possible that they did take a nasty spill and landed on their head before they wrote this

    Have any of these guys ever succeeded in anything regarding their woefully misguided notions? I would think loss after loss would eventually discourage this nonsense.

      The ones who truly lose end up in jail. Some think they “win” when they are granted more time to shallow shape the fuck up before returning to court (they will lose, they just don’t see the writing on the wall yet). Lastly are the grifters selling this information to the mindless rubes.

        Sometimes I wonder if that’s what Trump will do if he loses - convince the sovcits they are outside of the government and they can come work for him in his new nation.

          That’s kind of how new nations happen but he’s not going to find land for it anywhere in north America. Maybe a equatorial south nation could be bullied into giving his ilk space but I don’t think cheetolini’s best people could even crayon in the outside of the logistics for that.

      The biggest ‘success’ I’ve seen was dropping of a permit issue for a sewage tank, mainly because the county court was just so damn tired of him wasting their time. So, victory?

      Yeah, it seems like this lady succeeded here…in getting a 30 day delay, after which she will still be held liable for the debt she owes.

        That’s exactly right. The judge in this case seems exceptionally patient with all of the nonsense involved.
