https://youtu.be/WlTrFILCB6I Being around a group meeting of those types made me feel as if I needed to go thru a nuclear decontamination "scrub down".
I can tell you, these people are THREE SUITS short of a full deck, yet they are "deadly" serious about their beliefs. Thru a friend of a friend, who got sucked in to the crazy Sovereign movement, I was invited to attend one of their Insider events in the mid-90s.
They only use the N-word to refer to black people. They speak in a derogatory fashion of the Jewish. Inexplicably, there are women in the movement, even though the core group of male leaders vocally assert that it's never been legal for women to vote any more than it ever was for the "jungle bunnies", "towel heads" or "Latin invaders". The Confederate Battle Flag was present and you could tell, with them, that slavery would be right around the corner.
My friend that I went with is Jewish (but they didn't ask names, and she doesn't "look like a Jew", whatever that means, something the guy repetitively spoke). They were obviously attentive to new people as potential recruits. As two lowly women, we were "assigned" to one of the elder guys who spoke eloquently (and stupidly, wrongly) about the original Constitution and how everything past a certain point is basically illegal, in their view.
Much low-key eye-rolling and head-shaking passed between my friend and me, when the group-leader wasn't looking, as he prattled on without noticing. We didn't need to ask many questions, as the indoctrinator was never lacking description. Despite insulting Jewish comments, somehow my friend maintained calm. Besides, we certainly felt as if we were in the home camp of a hostile group, and could easily have been attacked if we revealed ourselves as non-believers.
We were both speechless as we drove away. We stopped by a favorite Mexican restaurant to more or less silently decompress over margaritas for a couple of hours. It was an astonishing and appalling experience.
Afterword: the guy who sent us gave up on his temporary romance with Sovereign citizens. He decided to follow their lead and not register his car. He was stopped, decided to espouse his beliefs to the LAPD officers, wherein they had his car towed and impounded. None of the big mouthed leaders of the sovereign group, with which he had affiliated himself, were willing to step up and help him get his car back !!!
