"My" FOTLer has gone seriously off the rails recently. S/he started out with just a minor offence, nothing serious at all, but s/he has since snowballed into full-fledged FOTL nonsense, stopped insuring his/her vehicle, ended up losing his/her vehicle through impoundment and failing to pay the impound fees, has since amassed thousands of dollars in unpaid fines, has lost his/her driver's licence as a result, has stopped paying his/her rent and other bills (because his/her "bond" via his/her birth certificate should be utilized to pay his/her bills) and is being evicted from his/her home, and then s/he went to the courthouse and said things to court staff that fall only a hair's breadth short of threatening (references to coming to the courthouse with a gun), has been visited by the police as a result, and is soon to be jailed for the outstanding fines and such. This person, as a result of buying into the FOTL nonsense has not only lost his/her vehicle and is not only about to be evicted from his/her government subsidized home, but is also going to end up in jail for a considerable period of time for contempt of court among other things.
Those who espouse (and sell) the FoTL nonsense should be ashamed of themselves. I feel sorry for "my" FoTLer to a certain extent because I recognize mental illness when I see it and his/her mental illness is being exploited by the FoTL crew, but all I can do is shake my head and when it comes to the point of threatening court staff, my sympathy evaporates entirely.
This isn't going to end well at all. This person is going to end up losing everything s/he ever had, and end up homeless (notwithstanding his/her belief s/he can just check into the local Sheraton hotel and sign off the bills to his/her "birth certificate bond" to be paid by the federal government on account of his/her "birth certificate bond" and other such nonsense - we all know how that will turn out). The reality is that this person is going to go to jail and when s/he gets out of jail, all of his/her belongings will be long gone, sold for debts owed, etc., and s/he will never recover from this BS.
All because of people like Menard and others who try to sell their particular brand of woo to the mentally incompetent.
It's really, really sad.
