It begins like this...

By Dr. Christine M. Sarteschi, LCSW

Sovereign citizens are individuals who, despite being legal citizens of their respective countries, deny the legitimacy of their governments and thus consider themselves immune to their laws. [1] The movement is loosely affiliated and not typically unified, though followers share similar beliefs and ideologies. They use terms to describe themselves such as “living man” or “woman,” “natural woman” or “man,” “free man” or “woman,” “secured party creditor,” “state national,” and the newest variation, “American State National.”

Sovereign citizens are anti-government, anti-democratic and anti-institution, and can be best described as modern-day outlaws. They pose a threat to the U.S. government and other governments worldwide. As legal citizens of a country who reject the jurisdiction of their government and its justice systems, they exhibit anarchist tendencies. [emphasis added]

According to the "Fallacy Detector" at https://www.logicalfallacies.org, this text, above, contains the following logical fallacies. The site's Artificial Intelligence (AI) produced several versions of results as it was repeatedly queried with the same text. They are all included here for completeness...

Ad Hominem: The text uses derogatory terms such as "modern-day outlaws" and "anarchist tendencies" to attack the character of sovereign citizens rather than engaging with the substance of their beliefs.

Appeal to Consequences

Appeal to Emotion: By referring to sovereign citizens as modern-day outlaws and stating that they pose a threat to governments, the author is trying to evoke fear and a negative emotional response rather than providing logical arguments.

Appeal to Emotion: The text uses emotive language like "modern-day outlaws" and "pose a threat" to evoke fear and a negative emotional response towards sovereign citizens.

There's an appeal to fear fallacy present in the argument that sovereign citizens pose a threat to the U.S. government and other governments worldwide without providing concrete evidence to support this claim.

Appeal to Fear: The statement that sovereign citizens pose a threat to the U.S. government and other governments worldwide is meant to evoke fear rather than provide logical reasoning.

Appeal to Fear: The author is trying to persuade the audience by using fear-inducing language to consider sovereign citizens as modern-day outlaws who pose a threat to governments.

Association Fallacy: By labeling sovereign citizens as modern-day outlaws and suggesting they pose a threat to governments worldwide, the text is committing an association fallacy by assuming that all sovereign citizens engage in criminal behavior.

Association Fallacy

Black-and-White Fallacy: Describing sovereign citizens as either legal citizens or modern-day outlaws without acknowledging any middle ground or complexity.

Black-or-White Fallacy: Presenting sovereign citizens as either completely anti-government or completely pro-government with no middle ground.

Black-and-White Fallacy: The author presents sovereign citizens as either legal citizens who follow government laws or anarchists, with no grey area in between.

Black-and-White Fallacy: The author presents sovereign citizens as either legal citizens who abide by the laws of their government or anarchists who reject government jurisdiction. This oversimplification ignores the diverse motivations and beliefs within the sovereign citizen movement.

Composition Fallacy: Assuming that all sovereign citizens are anarchists because they reject the jurisdiction of their government, without considering the diversity of beliefs within the movement.

False Attribution Fallacy: The text implies that all sovereign citizens are anti-government, anti-democratic, and anti-institution. While some sovereign citizens may exhibit these tendencies, the generalization is a false attribution fallacy as it does not account for all individuals in this group.

Guilt by Association: Implying that all sovereign citizens are anarchists because they reject governmental jurisdiction.

Guilt by Association: By lumping all sovereign citizens together as anti-government and anti-democratic, the author implies that they are all criminals or dangerous individuals, which may not be the case for every member of the movement.

There is guilt by association fallacy present in the text since it implies that all sovereign citizens pose a threat to governments worldwide based on the actions of a few.

Hasty Generalization: The text makes broad generalizations about sovereign citizens, painting them all as anti-government, anti-democratic, and posing a threat to the U.S. government without providing specific evidence or examples.

Hasty Generalization: Assuming that all sovereign citizens are a threat to the government based on the actions of a few.

Hasty Generalization: The text jumps to the conclusion that all sovereign citizens exhibit anarchist tendencies based on their rejection of government jurisdiction, without considering individual motivations or beliefs.

Loaded Language: Referring to sovereign citizens as "modern-day outlaws" carries a negative connotation and biases the interpretation of their beliefs and actions.

Strawman Fallacy

Sweeping Generalization: By stating that all sovereign citizens are anti-government, anti-democratic, and anti-institution, the text is making a sweeping generalization about a diverse group of individuals.

Sweeping Generalization: By describing all sovereign citizens as "modern-day outlaws" and stating that they pose a threat to governments worldwide, the text makes a sweeping generalization, assuming that all individuals who identify as sovereign citizens behave in the same way.

So, LEO's are being propagandized against ASN's.

LEO's are not the "bear." They are michiganians who need to be rescued and are simply misdirected employees of the bear.

The "bear" is THE MACHINE that has been running the world, the interconnected corporations operating on autopilot and directed by elites who are in the shadows and behind storefronts.

The "bear" seeks to divide people, and it uses fear as a weapon. It uses The Media to propagandize the General Public and create fear of ASN's...

Editorial

One of the documents some michiganians publish on the Public Record is a Fee Schedule. Many professionals, including Attorneys, have fee schedules giving notice of how much they expect to be paid for their services. Commerce is all about contracts, and fee schedules are generally part of the negotiations. When a LEO stops someone with their emergency lights, they are usually attempting to establish a contract.

The Federation wants everyone holding offices in American Government to publish a Fee Schedule as a layer of protection from The Defacto. Here is a portion of the fee schedule template...

When the former Michigan Coordinator jousted with The Defacto over a traffic ticket last summer, he utilized his Fee Schedule against the persons and living people who nominally violated his rights. He then followed up by filing liens against them personally, for hundreds of millions of dollars. He spent a lot of time and effort doing that, and it encouraged others to do the same.

It surely made the Defacto people mad, and probably soured them against "sovereign citizens." It is just more mess to clean up and "bridges to repair." It was surely unproductive.

This is one of the things that caused the previous Assembly to "go sideways." People in leadership came under attack from The Defacto and they responded with the "bazooka" the Federation gave them. Those michiganians are still under attack.

In the opinion of the MFP, the Fee Schedule is a "nuclear option." It is there only as a deterrent against "deep pocket" corporations and should only be a last resort. It should not be used indiscriminately, and it is certainly not a method to "get rich."

The liens that result will potentially hurt individual people badly. Those people are michiganians who need to be rescued, even though they are misdirected and may be doing things they should not. In most cases, they do not even know they are doing wrong.

The MFP suggests michiganians follow the rules and stay out of trouble. It is not hard to do.

When doing things like renewing a Driver's License, michiganians should use it as an opportunity to teach the Defacto employees... nicely. Using a byline (i.e. "by: Richard Glen Worden©") when autographing signals intent to stay on the Land and Soil.

Michiganians should not become a target by doing things like not having state-of-state license plate on their personal conveyance (car). That is for later, after the Assembly is up and running and the corporations submit to its instructions, if they still exist.

If a michiganian is stopped by an LEO, it would be wise for them to be courteous and non-confrontational. They could use it as an opportunity to kindly educate, or simply just comply. The LEO will have a weapon, and they might use it if provoked or frightened. If there is actual persecution, it should be handled by mail from home. Otherwise, if the michiganian actually did violate a rule, like traveling faster than the posted corporation speed limit, it would be wise for them to simply pay the fine. They might elect to do that under some form of protest, but their primary focus should be on eliminating distractions and helping build the State and County Assemblies.

And if a michiganian ends up in jail, they should keep a list of items for the eventual application of the Fee Schedule, if they completed and published their 928 package before their arrest. That is what the Fee Schedule is for, not contesting a traffic ticket.

Think "Gandhi." He led India in getting rid of the same Raj Americans are dealing with now. He used peaceful methods.

Better yet, think "Jesus." What would he do? Would he send notices and file liens? No, he would give people a chance to realize what they were doing and repent. He would educate and be kind. The obstinate leaders were the ones he got rough with (Matthew 23).

We are in a spiritual battle, one being fought in the Jurisdiction of the Air (AVR #4628). Words are spirit.

Jesus told his guys to stay out of court, just like Anna repeatedly does...

Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. (Matthew 5:25, and also Luke 12:58 NIV)

So, rather than be a lone cowboy and get "mauled by the bear" as an individual, work to build the Assembly so injustices can be addressed systemically from positions of authority and strength. That is the sole purpose of government and the Assembly.

Help to grow the numbers of ASN's so they can eventually be like "ants" and "eat the bear." ¹
