Sovereign citizen getting a fake passport because he is a deadbeat dad. : insanepeoplefacebook

…How do these people not realise they’re being scammed? It’s… blatant!

It could only be more obvious if the documents were being held by a Nigerian Prince who wanted to send $1 million along with them! I feel like I could walk up to one of these fools and tell them, “I am actively scamming you, but if you trust me with a few dollars, magical fairies will come and restore you to your prime and grant you and those you love eternal youth, life, and wealth,” and they’d give me everything they could get their hands on!

It’s almost hard to not pity them at this point…

The Facebook groups have thousands of people. I think the parallels between these people and Qanon are pretty significant.

The best (worst?) part about this… that address is a church

They are being scammed by a church, but is a time honored tradition

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Pretty much every one that goes to Church is being scammed by a church.

Some people like the community aspect of it, and doing charity / volunteer work. But other than that you are mostly right.

It would be fun to come up with a grift like this but use the same twisted legalese to claim what they are paying for is worthless. If you can't beat em, join em.

At this point we should just rename the community to InsaneSovCits. Not that I don't get a chuckle out of the posts

Who wants to open a business with me to fleece sovcits who think this kind of thing is legit?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I mean, it looks like that business is already there selling passports. Maybe we could sell them World Vehicle Registration plates?

Sure. As long as it doesn't conflict with my business ripping off maga nuts by selling trump 2024 merch.

Or my business of selling repackaged scented oils labelled as Covid cures.

Countries that have accepted the World Passport

The following is a list of countries which, on at least one occasion, have recognized the World Passport on a "de facto" basis, by stamping a national visa and/or entry/exit stamp.

I like the fact that they argue their passport isn't fake because some bored / overworked customs guy once stamped it.

Their website has a Legal section as well, but I'm too tired to look through it.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (4 children)

The World Passport is a fantasy travel document sold by the World Service Authority, a non-profit organization founded by Garry Davis in 1954.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Passport

Wikipedia's throwing down.

Also I had to find this list:

https://worldservice.org/visas.html

They're claiming 191 out of 192 countries recognise their shitty document.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago

Yes thats a document. A meaningless one, but it sure is a document.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

They are for sure including countries that have stamped it "no entry." Technically it has been stamped. I'm pretty sure policy is to stamp a little logo and some check boxes onto whatever document is presented, and if it's not a legit document, it is stamped as such.

Isn't applying for a passport like this, from any third party, kind of directly counter to what sovcits say they stand for? What with the sending of photos and money to a shadowy organisation to be registered in a database, and all.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

What sovcits believe in is being as much of a stupid dumbass as possible because being intelligent makes you a sheep.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 9 months ago (3 children)

It should be legal to scam people this dumb

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago

Depending on the wording of the website where he got this...it might be .

I mean… who are they gonna complain to?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I just got a great business idea. World Citizen Bureau of Investigation, LLC. File a World Citizen complaint against any...world citizen. Filing fee of $395.

I'm less familiar with these sovcits but this post got me thinking, what do y'all think the Venn diagram between this type of person and those who complain about "illegal" immigrants looks like? Are these the same nutjob racists or are they a different kind of nutjob?

[–] [email protected] 30 points 9 months ago (2 children)

When you start digging into who is behind the conspiracy, you tend to hit "the Jews" (or a corresponding dogwhistle) pretty reliably, which leads to concerns less about illegal immigrants, and more about brown people.

I had a friend who went from moon landing conspiracism to flat earth, sovcit, Nazi over the course of a couple of years. I called the coming Nazism well over a year ahead of time, and people thought I was nuts. When most conspiracies blame the Jews, I can't understand why people get surprised by it.

A lot of sovcits are actually black (the Moorish Science Temple has a lot of them for some reason), but they all haaaaaate Jews. Sovereign citizen movement has roots in white supremacy for sure though.

Same energy over here in germany. People buy id cards stating they are citizens of the „Deutsches Reich“. Of course there are several groups claiming they are an exile government, succesors, etc. and ripping of delusional people. Frankly, no pity from me.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I wish I didn't have a conscience, so I could fleece those people myself and get rich of their stupidity.

Someones gonna get their ass rotorootered by the TSA the second they try to go through customs with this

[–] [email protected] 45 points 9 months ago (8 children)

You kinda want them to manage to get past the TSA so they can get arrested trying to illegally enter another country and have to decide if getting help from the state department is worth admitting they are a US citizen

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago

Yes, lets go with that instead.

I'd be a sucker to not buy the 10 year passport for $100!!

[–] [email protected] 19 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Hey so

How illegal would it be if I set up "services" for these idiots and took their money? I could even advertise as non-legal documents and "spread the rumor" that they totally are legal, it just has to say that.

I'm sure lots of them would freely give me their money for a "count of iceland"-or-whatever-title-that-was-like document.

Edit: Oh, guess I'm too late lol

[–] [email protected] 28 points 9 months ago (4 children)

It's possible that it's the perfect crime. Because this is definitely fraud, but as long as it's a sovcit going after you you have a high chance if beating them in a court of law as long as you have lawyer. Because they will be self representing and spouting complete insanity. You do have a pretty high chance of getting shot though, so do all your business online.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (4 children)

I'm seriously thinking on it. Seriously. Surely a first-year law student could form a disclaimer that would pass muster.

"This product/service/whatever is not legal for use by citizens of the United States of America. This product/service/whatever confers no legal, uh, anything, in an American court of law."

"Not legal tender.", sort of thing. My god, you could take these people with monopoly money.

At this point I'm tired of being a decent, moral man. Why should I not grift these idiots? Why should I not print up Trump flags and Jesus flags? I could sleep at night taking these idiot's money.

I love how he thinks he needs it to drive through america.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 9 months ago

He talks about getting DOT exempt tags...probably bought from somewhere. They probably do not have a driver's license or car registration, so this is them trying to be like "I don't need them. See I paid someone to print this fake passport up for me with my name on it."

I wonder if they realized how fucked they would be if they managed to leave the US, refused entry at the next country, then refused entry back to the US.
