Rowdy court behaviour part of 'cluster' of sovereign citizen activity ottnews ottawa

An Ottawa court appearance where a man declared he was the Crown points to the spread of the sovereign citizen movement, according to a professor who's been tracking it.

The associate professor of social work and criminology at Chatham University in Pittsburgh studies the phenomenon and said she has tracked its growth in 27 countries, including Canada. "It can result in matters taking longer," said Stephanie DiGiuseppe, a partner at the Toronto-based law firm Ruby Shiller Enenajor DiGiuseppe, and a director of the Criminal Lawyers' Association.

"We're sovereign citizens," he says at one point, adding, "everything that goes on in these courtrooms is fiction," a short time later. She also mentioned The United People of Canada , a controversial group with ties to the Freedom Convoy movement and the protest that shutdown a section of downtown Ottawa for weeks.

He can be a sovereign citizen from inside his prison cell.

God's your judge..not your lawyer

‘Cluster’ something. What is wrong with these zealots?

The 2nd coming and he’s a lawyer? 22 minutes bit in 18, 19, 20...

It is my opinion that those responsible for the quackscenes, quackscene passports, and other mandates should be arrested and tried for manslaughter and maybe even murder. Enough time has passed where it is now undeniable.

I personally believe the quackscenes are causing myocarditis, pericarditis, seizures, paralysis, miscarriages, stillbirths, a wide range of other symptoms, and even death. I believe those who have taken the quackscenes shed and spread to others.

Trudeau took political prisoners, froze bank accounts, seized assets ... turns out the 'so-called' Freedom Convoy WASN'T so 'so-called' at all!

People are deeply enthralled in an endless campaign of indoctrination & mental incapacitation through inexhaust​ible psy-opted programming of govt & mass media. The subliminally programmed & aimlessly unaware are nothing more than tools void of self to be used as others see fit.
