What Las Vegas Police Killings Show About Evolving Sovereign Movement - Forbes

On June 2nd, Jerad posted a manifesto that was heavy on emotional rhetoric but had little substance. By this point, the only people responding to or “liking” his posts were his wife, a couple of family members and friends, and the campaign manager for David Lory VanDerBeek. No one suggested that Jerad seek help. No one called to warn the police. The day after the shooting, the campaign manager deleted a photo of the Millers posing with her and the candidate.

I haven't posted on the Las Vegas incident due to the fact that there is just so much crazy happening it got tossed to the side. This article was passed on to me from a reader and provides some interesting insights concerning the sovereign movement and some of its history. A history that shares a commonality with another interest of mine.

The story above is bursting with clues about the killers, their objectives, beliefs, and participation in the rapidly expanding Sovereign subculture. Unfortunately, many press reports and pundits seem to be relying on outdated assumptions about the Sovereign movement that don’t take into account that the shooters were young.

Sovereigns do not participate in an organized group that has a membership list or annual dues; they simply share a list of common goals, methods, symbols, and influences which can vary significantly depending on their age group.

Each generation of Sovereigns has its own unique trends, a kind of checklist of red flags or markers to determine how embedded they are in the mindset and beliefs of the movement.

If the goal is to assess the potential violent risk a person poses, this set of age-dependent markers is key. While it might seem intuitive that those who check off the most boxes on the list of Sovereign traits are the most likely to resort to violence, it’s actually the outliers that pose the greatest risk. People who experience a strong sense of community have a shared outlet for expressing their anger, fears, and frustrations. Sovereigns who don’t are desperate for attention and inclusion in the club.

Within the narrative, MacNabb briefly details age related motives for becoming involved in the movement as well as numours "markers" or characteristics:

• Twisting the law to justify breaking the law
• Political affiliation:
• Introduction to the Movement
• Million Mask March
• The Gadsden Flag
• The Call for Revolution
• Fascination with Armed Standoffs
• Racism
• Nazi Comparisons
• Tax Protest Theories
• Redemption Schemes
• Popular (or fabricated) Founding Father Quotes
• Erroneous Legal Theories
• and more including “chem-trails” and fluoride to fake 9/11 evidence and false flags events

A fascinating read!!
