Front-line court staff and other government officials have useful observations on managing pseudolaw types. David Heilpern, a now former Magistrate, explains how pseudolaw users create delay and disruption for court processes, even as they always fail: theconversation.com/how-should-a...

The New Zealand Police have published (proactively) their standard instructions for managing and responding to "Sovereign Citizens". www.police.govt.nz/sites/defaul... The information response instructions at pages 15-21 are very interesting, and I'd say nicely composed and explained.

Dan Neidle's Tax Policy Group has published an excellent review of "Empower the People", a UK-based tax fraud scheme that uses US 1099-OID forms to (sometimes) trigger fraudulent Internal Revenue Service refunds. Highest recommendation. A must read. taxpolicy.org.uk/2026/02/25/s...

For me writing and music are linked. Inextricably. I've spent decades drafting and editing enveloped in pounding, aggressive, enraged, hopeless music. Music to accompany a joyous artillery barrage. That might leak through into what I write. Maybe. And I miss dancing until my feet bleed.

The Lowy Institute @lowyinstitute.bsky.social (a thinktank) has released a “policy brief” “The global sovereign citizen movement”. Unfortunately the product isn’t sitting particularly well with me. I've posted an extended commentary on Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/amibeingde... If you're interested.

How do you in a judgment say "dude said really nasty stuff" without quoting it? "I note that I have cited the least offensive of the statements and threats made by [litigant] in those emails." Very slick solution. Tip of the hat to Justice Little! Judgment here: canlii.ca/t/kj3hv

I have an odd obsession. When a talking head appears on TV in their home office, I scrutinize the wall of books that is usually behind them. Call me judgmental, but I can't really take an "expert" seriously when I find their library organization is by book colour. Or size.

Alert! Fellow malevolent entities and Reptilians! (Since I self-identify as a yugoloth, I'm confident I qualify as the former.) HRM Didulo has ordered our extermination! I've been keeping an eye out for orbital bombardment laser strikes - nothing so far. Watch The Skies!

Sovereign Citizen "Judge" Anna Von Reitz's residence sold at public auction by judicial order after Anna doesn't pay her income tax. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Ooppsieee...

Been playing with LLMs testing their ability to detect & respond to pseudolaw concepts. Gemini pointed to this US government resource for a rebuttal to Strawman Theory secret bank accounts. Nice, concise, accurate. Good stuff. Maybe we are making progress? www.treasurydirect.gov/laws-and-reg...

A tasty pseudolaw academic publication from Poland that focuses on pseudolaw itself. The results are a bit unremarkable. Prof. Pastuszko identifies usual core pseudolaw concepts: governments are corporations, the duel of laws, and - of course - Strawman Theory. journals.umcs.pl/sil/article/...

New academic publication on ideology of Australian “Sovereign Citizens”. Labels the phenomenon as (government) Illegitimacy, Individualism, and Immunity. I’m not going to make a detailed analysis. There’s “local experts” who are better positioned on Australia. www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1...

Pseudolaw scholarship is expanding at an amazing pace. Here is the first article (that I know of) documenting the Polish variations. Patryk Król uses parallels in language, concepts & objectives to identify Polish pseudolaw groups. That's the Strawman. www.abw.gov.pl/ftp/foto/Wyd... Recommended!

Not often that a Canadian judge gets "de-gowned". The Ontario Judicial Counsel has concluded (balance of probabilities) that Ontario Justice Paul Currie committed sexual and physical assault, and inflicted bodily injury. The summary of decision is here: www.ontariocourts.ca/ocj/conduct/...

I have a legitimate basis to cite the Hanna Barbera Scooby Doo cartoon in a legal academic publication. I'm not kidding. At all. This means either my research has careened way off course, or I am following the one true Golden Path. *fiendish giggling*

Was mentioned in Tim Cestnick's Globe and Mail tax advice column as documenting very bad ideas for tax evasion (www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/pe...) The article he cited is "Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Arguments ["OPCA"] as Magic and Ceremony". I conclude some pseudolaw is irrational. Duh.

Honestly, I enjoy when judges move into cold clinical rage mode. Judge Stephanie Wanke of the Alberta Court of King's Bench issued a short piece sharply criticizing a failure to follow basic service rules in a foreclosure. I've attached the whole thing. It's worth reading.

Hey, is your faith in the ultimate goodness of humanity in need of a kick in the crotch? Check out this lovely decision: canlii.ca/t/khc20 In short, parents buy home for son. Son refuses to pay anything and destroys home. Son gets evicted. Son and spouse sue for $792,355.11. Nice!

Interesting but sad report on the killing of a 22-year-old mother of two by a 70-year-old self-identified Freeman-on-the-Land. Pseudolaw was not an element in the manslaughter proceeding. The killer Losch was represented by a lawyer. Detailed discussion here: www.reddit.com/r/amibeingde...

CanLII tracks monthly the most accessed court judgments. For December that is: a lawyer using ChatGPT a separating couple disputing custody of 4 cats a man who appeared in court with a python, his service animal Enjoy. www.slaw.ca/2026/01/07/wednesday-whats-hot-on-canlii-december-2025/

Investigation and analysis of pseudolaw is truly an expanding field. Now an academic in Hungary - Nóra Falyuna - is looking at the subject! folyoirat.ludovika.hu/index.php/filologia/article/view/8132 inmediasresfolyoirat.hu/imr/article/view/294/567

Been contemplating how to use large language model "AIs" to further pseudolaw and other abusive litigation schemes: www.reddit.com/r/amibeingde... Gee I hope there are easier solutions for this kind of manipulation and misdirection. Probably not, though.

Hey! You underemployed bums! Getcher ass to Australia and join the Common Law Sheriffs! You'll get a cool purple shirt! commonlawsheriffs.au/become-a-com... Policy Enforcement Officers are NOT welcome!

The Australian Law Journal in September published an issue entirely focused on pseudolaw. There's good stuff here - but warning, everything is paywalled at the moment. If you have academic/professional access, I recommend taking a look. Here's a link: search.informit.org/toc/auslawjo...

Sigh. I am attempting to work up another research project. And I want to properly explain why an Ontario lawyer cited the "Eye of Isis Treaty" as a binding Canadian legal authority. Attached is the most coherent description I've located for the document. F'ing Enki. (Not judicial review, tho!)

Toronto homeowner attempts to get a free house via pseudolaw goofery. Loses, of course, but the Manulife Bank exhibits the True Christmas Spirit! Writeup here: www.reddit.com/r/amibeingde... (Content Warning - Christmas spirit for a bank isn't that spiritish-ey.)

Wonderfully strange cargo cult/Ponzi scheme from the depths of Bougainville, ensnaring Sovereigns and other weirdos worldwide. www.occrp.org/en/feature/m... Once again, the temptation for Lawful Money (not that filthy fiat currency) tempts the faithful! Need to find a way to cite this...

I know, I know. I shouldn't react this way. But when I heard the suspects in the California New Years Eve bomb plot are "The Turtle Island Liberation Front", I just couldn't stop my fiendish cackling. Wonder if they'll deploy pseudolaw.

In a "Mr. Big" investigation police go undercover and pretend to operate a criminal organization to elicit confessions from a suspect. These are always colourful, but I've never seen one where the suspect was a Moorish Law adherent. Whattya do as a cop? Play along! R v Brown - canlii.ca/t/j494p

So somebody thought it would be a great idea to celebrate the Supreme Court of Canada with an Unreal Engine 3D mopping "adventure" set in the Supreme Court of Canada building. No. I'm not joking. My response? Dual wield needlers, Lets F'ing GO! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eD1...

This one made me laugh out loud. Appeal to the SCC rejected. Appeal grounds appear to be that that the ABCA judge was biased because of favouritism to the ABKB judge. Judges are buds to judges. So no appellant can ever get a fair hearing due to judicial bias. SCC: Nope. (Surprised?)

Brief piece by Prof. Joe McIntyre on the growing impact of pseudolaw on courts & staff & how pseudolaw represents a shift in social participation in Australian courts: bulletin.lawsocietysa.asn.au/Bulletin/Bul... Maybe he's optimistic on his last hopeful observations? Personally, I avoid courts.

Here's an interesting judgment. Combines COVID period antics, the dismal consequences of those, lawyer screwups, and stern judicial warnings, all round: Royal Bank of Canada v Skelly, 2025 ONSC 6622. Detailed commentary here: www.reddit.com/r/amibeingde...

Full judgment is here: Community Trust Company v Peart-Williams, 2025 ONSC 6753 (canlii.ca/t/kgt7c) I'm not going to attempt to digest this. Just enjoy all the chewy, bloody goodness. Kudos to Justice Dennison for a clinical, merciless, methodical dissection.

Did a CanLII search for "law of ma'at" and got ten hits. And only one is me. We live in profoundly stupid times.

Abusive liens are a notorious form of "paper terrorism", especially in the US. This author has done a nice job surveying the issue and legislative responses: mckinneylaw.iu.edu/practice/law... Worth a read if you're interested in how pseudolaw types hotwire processes to their advantage.

Sometimes I mourn the passing of technologies. One example is the great dirigibles of the early 20th century. I crave being suddenly cast in shadow. A wall of silver flows above and over me. Deep sound washes and strokes like a heavy surf. www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5QT... I need to submerge.

I've discovered a very weird pseudolaw case where the pseudolaw adherent refused to take $20,000 left to him in a will. Then he sues the executors of the estate three times, running up over $25K in expenses, and getting declared a vexatious litigant. Details here: www.reddit.com/r/amibeingde...

Woman disputes operation of father's will. In wrong jurisdiction, after will already probated. Father's will uses name in all capital letters. Woman invokes Strawman duality. Gets declared vexatious litigant. Rusler Estate (Re), 2025 BCSC 2269: canlii.ca/t/kgjbl

Criminal proceedings vs woman entering Canada, ignoring COVID-19 quarantine processes. She says she doesn't have to comply with any instructions of a mere corporation. Doesn't work. Directeur des poursuites criminelles et pénales c Bastien, 2025 QCCQ 5392 - canlii.ca/t/kfwxx Original in French.

Tidy decision by the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario that rejects claims that Moorish American ID and identification are a basis for discrimination. Like... Duhh... Associate Chief Justice Rooke (retired) gets cited a lot. Bey v York (Police Service Board), 2025 HRTO 2751 canlii.ca/t/kgd61

HRM Didulo was back in Court and reportedly argued: "... she had evidence and affidavits on a USB drive to prove the failure to comply charge was actually a case of mistaken identity." Oh. But ... who was mistaken for? Say it all together - "STRAWMAN!" www.swiftcurrentonline.com/articles/rom...

The Canadian Federal Court of Appeal confirmed a Detax guru has to pay tax on the money he made running a pseudolaw scam. I write about that in detail here: www.reddit.com/r/amibeingde... Call it the "Detaxerdämmerung".

For those who are following the criminal proceedings against HRM Romana Didulo, Queen of Canada, I have conducted an analysis of recent media reports: www.reddit.com/r/amibeingde... In brief, looks like Romana is taking an aggressive approach to her litigation. Pseudolaw is very likely in play.

Reported Scottish pseudolaw cases aren't terribly common, making this of interest: Together Commercial Finance Ltd v Smith, [2025] SAC (Civ) 22: www.scotcourts.gov.uk/media/hzyppz... It's a foreclosure appeal. Turns out declaring you're a "living man" doesn't miracle away court proceedings.

Justice F Myers orders $510 million in fees to lawyers reduced to $23 million: "A lawyer’s professional retainer is not a lottery ticket offering a bonus prize of generational wealth to the lawyers if the clients hit the jackpot and win a mega-award." Oh my can you say "appeal"? canlii.ca/t/kg64z

Cute three-page judgment where not-a-chief Bill Denby of the not-a-First Nation Kawartha First Nation gets a short but sharp (as in stabbee) judgment affirming Canadian law does apply to Bill. He's not happy about that.

Oh no! It's Reviewer #2! "The writing is difficult to comprehend. ... poor sentence and paragraph structure make it difficult to ascertain the author’s point ... Word choices suggest the author may not be writing in their first language." An ooooh lord I share don't understand law stuff either.

Apparently Glasgow's City Council has enough pseudolaw "I won't pay municipal tax WAAH!" correspondence that the City decided to prepare a response/rebuttal website: glasgow.gov.uk/whyyouneedto... And it certainly covers the basics.

My recent chapter “The Sun Only Shines on YouTube: The Marginal Presence of Pseudolaw in Canada” is now available online. Subjects include Canadian pseudolaw from the 1950s, surveying numerous groups that have risen & disappeared, Canada-specific pseudolaw concepts (few), recent & peculiar trends.
