With his shaggy hair, bushy mustache and obstinate ways, Jeffrey Allen Wright was well known to sheriff's deputies in Santa Rosa County, Fla. Wright, 55, drove around with a phony license plate. When stopped, he refused to produce a driver's license. Once he threatened to sue a deputy who pulled him over. After he was fined for traffic offenses in September, Wright paid with counterfeit money orders. When deputies served warrants for felony counterfeiting March 8, Wright barricaded himself in his garage and declared that he would not be "a servant of the king." He broke out windows with a handgun, then pointed the weapon at officers, police said. Three deputies fired, killing Wright. When Det. Rob Finch of the Greensboro police department heard about the incident, two words came to mind: sovereign citizen. Finch teaches police and public officials around the country how to deal with self-described "sovereign citizens" like Wright. Finch and his partner, Det. Kory Flowers, have trained nearly 15,000 police and 5,000 public officials to combat sovereigns, zealots who refuse to recognize government authority in virtually any form. Violent confrontations are rare, but the FBI says at least six police officers have been killed by sovereigns since 2000. A man tied to the movement shot and killed a California Highway Patrol officer who stopped him in Contra Costa County last year. A responding officer shot and killed the assailant. The agency calls sovereigns - who number between 100,000 and 300,000 - a "domestic terrorist movement." This time of year has federal authorities on alert, since a central tenet of the sovereigns movement is that its adherents believe they owe no income taxes. Sovereigns assert that the U.S. Treasury has set up a secret money account for every American, which can be reclaimed through a bizarre set of legal filings known as redemption. They say everything from taxes to traffic tickets can be disposed of by drawing on the secret Treasury accounts through elaborate legal claims and mountains of paperwork. Many sovereigns file invoices with police or judges, demanding hundreds of dollars an hour for time spent stopped by officers or when in court to answer charges. Finch, 31, said his training sessions began after several sovereigns pulled over by Greensboro police in 2008 and 2009 refused to produce driver's licenses. They demanded that officers recite oaths of office and fill out long questionnaires. "To them, a police officer is just a man in a Halloween costume," Finch said. Other police departments began requesting their eight-hour seminars. Finch and Flowers now train agents of the FBI, DEA, ATF and Homeland Security - as well as district attorneys, clerks of court, judges and registrars nationwide. Finch says they are the only officers in the country who offer such street-level training. They teach police to recognize sovereigns by their convoluted legal jargon and "mouthy" defiance. "Sovereign citizens are more likely not to obey their commands and more likely to commit violence during a traffic stop," Finch said. Finch and Flowers often cite the 2010 deaths of two police officers in West Memphis, Ark., who were shot by a father-son sovereign team during a traffic stop for a bogus license plate. One officer had become distracted by a thick sheaf of papers thrust at him by one of the sovereigns. Finch said he instructs officers to ignore paperwork other than license and registration. "Your antennae should immediately go up," he tells officers. "They refuse to recognize your authority, and that creates a dangerous situation." As recently as August, two sheriff's deputies in Laplace, La., were shot and killed in an ambush. Police said at least two of the five men accused in the killings were sovereign citizens. In Florida, police approached Wright carefully because he had told them in past encounters that he was not subject to police authority. Wright paid his taxes with a handwritten "coupon for payment," said Deputy Richard Aloy of the Santa Rosa Sheriff's Department. He had renounced his U.S. citizenship. "They knew they had a bad individual, and they took the necessary precautions," Finch said. Even nonviolent sovereigns can cause headaches through what Finch calls "paper terrorism." Some squat in foreclosed homes and file phony deeds claiming ownership, "paying" with photos of silver dollars. Sovereigns believe U.S. currency has no value but recognize precious metals as valid currency. Many sovereigns - including the father-son team in the Arkansas shooting - hold seminars of their own in which they charge for lessons on redemption and tax avoidance. "You pay them in cash for them to tell you money has no value," Finch said. Officials from Greensboro and other cities pushed for a new North Carolina law that makes filing false liens a felony rather than a misdemeanor. Finch said the law, coupled with training of court officials, has helped block or dismiss many phony liens and nuisance lawsuits. But sovereigns continue to file suits and liens, hoping to claim property and damages, Finch said. At one meeting Finch attended, a charismatic sovereign citizen told a rapt audience that U.S. currency has no value. But he also explained how to redeem millions of dollars from secret U.S. Treasury accounts, and how to use the courts to evade government control and taxes. Afterward, Finch said, he asked the man what he did for a living. He was a U.S. Postal Service worker. Finch asked how he justified working for a government he considered illegitimate. "He told me he needed the money to live out his ideology," he said. Two police officers and two people who considered themselves "sovereign citizens" -- a 16-year-old and his father -- were killed in West Memphis, Ark., in a 2010 shootout. Two North Carolina officers who train police to deal with sovereign citizens often cite the Arkansas case when explaining the danger.

These folks were protesting continued government bailouts, specifically one proposed by Senator Durbin & others for BP. From the BigGovernment article: ****************** "This week, a group of local citizens in North Carolina protesting the Financial Reform bill and the Durbin BP Bailout amendment were accosted and then physically attacked by a left-wing activist who blamed George Bush for America's ills.... "Like a bad cold it can't shake, the left continues to attempt to blame every ill on George W. Bush. But as one activists in the video pointed out, its actually one Barack Obama and Senator Dick Durbin who are about to hand a massive check to the very company responsible for one of the worst environmental disasters in history. "The Durbin Amendment to the financial reform bill is the latest government policy proposal that will pad BP's bottom line. The amendment would create a government imposed price control scheme that would shift billions of dollars away from consumer to retailers (British Petroleum, Exxon, WalMart). That's why the Durbin Amendment is supported by the big retailers like Walmart, Petroleum Marketers Association and other prominent lobbyist groups which are funded, in part, by British Petroleum." ****************** I will reserve making any comments myself for fear of saying something I will regret. The only thing askew in this video is the dude is wearing some t-shirt that says "1960," when a purple one emblazoned with "SEIU" was probably back in his car.

At least in this case, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (2005-6) was an important body in establishing some of the basic facts in the matter, which were covered up by government and its justice system, in part, it appears, because of involvement of law enforcement agencies in the underlying conduct.

The Greensboro Police Department had infiltrated the Klan and, through a paid informant, knew of the white supremacists' plans and the strong potential for violence. The informant had formerly been on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's payroll but had maintained contact with his agent supervisor. Consequently, the FBI was also aware of the impending armed confrontation. Yet both the Greensboro Police Department nor the F.B.I. made any attempt to thwart the violence that was to come. The Death to the Klan March was to begin in a predominantly black housing project called Morningside Homes. Communist organizers publicly challenged the Klan to present themselves and "face the wrath of the people". Within eighty-eight seconds there would be death and destruction. During the rally, a caravan of cars containing Klansmen and members of the American Nazi Party drove by the housing projects where the Communists and other anti-Klan activists were congregating, taunting the marchers. Several marchers began to attack the Klansmens' cars with wooden sticks and by throwing rocks. According to white supremacist Frazier Glenn Miller, the first shots were fired from a handgun by an anti-Klan demonstrator. However several witnesses reported Klansman Mark Sherer fired the first shot, supposedly into the air. Then Klansmen and Nazis began firing with shotguns, rifles and pistols. At the end six people were dead and eleven injured. The majority of the armed confrontation was filmed by four local news camera crews.

Marquise Steens, 28, and Malique Steens, 7, were found dead inside a home on Guerrant Street. Malique's mother, Stacey Nickerson, who is Steens' girlfriend, told WXII's Jermont Terry that she suspects that the killer knew her boyfriend and killed both to avoid being recognized. Malique was at the home, visiting his father for the weekend. "I believe it was somebody that he knew, because who would do that to a child unless my child could recognize you," Nickerson said. "If someone did have something against him (Marquise), that had nothing to do with my child." Detectives said there was no evidence of forced entry into the home and no weapon was found. It also appeared that there were no witnesses to the slaying, police said. Nickerson said she and her mother discovered the crime scene. "I walked to the back bedroom and Marquise -- my son's father -- was lying on the floor," she said. "He wasn't alert. My mother started screaming his name (and there was) no response." Nickerson said she then began feverishly searching for her son. Marquise and Malique Steens "The only thing that kept going through my head was, 'Where's my son?'" she said. Marquise was found in a bathroom, police said. "I believe he was trying to hide," Nickerson said. "Because I have a walk-in closet in my bathroom. I really do believe he was trying to hide." Police said they are following up on leads, but so far no arrests have been made. "I can't fully rest until I know what really happened and the person who did this hateful, hateful, hateful crime are captured," Nickerson said. "I believe somebody saw or heard something. I believe it." Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Crimestoppers at 373-1000. http://www.wxii12.com/r/25494192/detail.html http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=59b_1288062307 Zipper10 Woman Says She Thinks Her Child Knew His Killer 7 yr.old son, father, shot, mother, thinks, child, knew, killer, GREENSBORO, N.C Fri, 25 Jun 2010 23:25:22 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3e4_1277522189 Songun The incident took place during a rally outside Democrat Rep. Mel Watt's office in Greensboro, N.C. A local GOP chairman received an unexpected blow to the face during a June tea party by a man who blamed former President George W. Bush "for the mess we're in." Nathan Tabor is Forsyth Republican Party chairman, former candidate for Congress in North Carolina and North Carolina Senate and founder of TCVmedia.com and TheConservativeVoice.com. He was also the webmaster for the presidential campaign of Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif. Tabor blocked attacker Govenor Spencer of Greensboro when he lunged toward Tabor's wife. "Don't touch my property again, and don't push me again" Tabor said. According to Human Events, the aggressor, a black man in his '50s, responded, "Then get the f-- out." He lunged toward Tabor and punched him in the face. Tabor said he stopped recording at the conclusion of the protest and walked toward his wife and daughter near the sidewalk. "As I walked around the corner, this gentleman pushed me," he said. "And when he pushed me the first time, I turned my camera on and brought my camera up. I said please don't push me. And when I said that, he slapped my camera. He pushes me again. In the video you can see my body fall back. And I did not say anything to him, I didn't engage him. I wasn't going to, until he touched me wife." Tabor told WGHP-TV Spencer had pushed his wife, so he pushed Spencer back. That's when Spencer lunged toward him and punched him in the face. Spencer is a union organizer and a black liberation activist who led the Greensboro K-Mart protests of 1995. Spencer had a black liberation flag bumper sticker on his car. ***************** ***************** http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3e4_1277522189 Songun 'Bush hater' punches GOP official Greensboro ,crime,NC ,Bush Hater,Tea Party,Assault,black liberation theology Wed, 09 Jun 2010 16:21:07 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=78e_1276114519 star53 The violent left has attacked conservative activists protesting big government, big spending and big bailout scheme proposed by Congress.
