always fun to run these through gpt

The text in the image is a classic example of sovereign citizen pseudolegal nonsense. It’s full of vague, incoherent legal jargon, misinterpretations of law, and outright falsehoods.

  1. Birth Certificate Ownership Myth – The claim that the government "owns" children because their names are on birth certificates is baseless. Birth certificates are simply records of birth, not ownership documents.

  2. Debt Discharge Confusion – Sovereign citizens often believe in "discharging" debts through obscure legal loopholes, which is a complete misunderstanding of how financial obligations work.

  3. 1933 Conspiracy Theory – Many sovereign citizens believe the U.S. went bankrupt in 1933 and that all citizens became collateral for government debt. This is a mix of gold standard history and pure fantasy.

  4. Commercial Law & "Equity" Misuse – The post jumbles together concepts from contract law and equity in a way that makes no legal sense. Courts do not operate on magic "presentment" tricks.

This kind of thinking gets people into serious legal trouble when they try to apply it in court. Judges have no patience for these arguments, and attempting to "discharge" responsibilities like child support using sovereign citizen tactics will only lead to legal consequences.
