Inside the fringe movement teaching Americans to punish officials with fake debt claims

[Zorro]

Texas real estate agent Tara Jarrett opened the online class with a prayer, bowing her head and closing her eyes.

“Dear Heavenly Father,” she began. “I ask that you would just speak to me and through me as I deliver this detailed message tonight.”

What followed was a lesson on revenge.

Jarrett walked the attendees, logged in from California and other states, through the process of filing liens to punish public officials, such as politicians and judges, who they alleged aren’t upholding their oaths of office. Those liens are recorded in state Uniform Commercial Code databases, public filings intended to alert creditors about business debts and financial obligations.

“This is how we level the playing field,” Jarrett, 52, told her class in a video uploaded last year. “We don’t sue government officials. We file liens that crush their credit until they cooperate.”

1. Uumm...isn't that a form of fraud?

Filing a what amounts to a false report?
It's also a form of intimidation.
In essence, this person and her followers are throwing a temper tantrum because judges are deciding against their backward very unchristian agenda.

2. Certainly seems that way to me. Get the states to prosecute such fraud because Blondi won't. . . . .nt

3. Everything old is new again...

The Montana Freemen tried this in the 90s.

The Freemen, led by LeRoy M. Schweitzer,[3] used inter alia Anderson on the Uniform Commercial Code and Bankers Handbook to draw notices of lien against public officials. The liens were then allegedly sold to generate equity to fund an effort to make a "firm offer to pay off the national debt." The Freemen claimed that the liens conformed to the Uniform Commercial Code and that their township's court had an interest in a tort claim for damages incurred by the named public officials for violations of their oaths of office. They also claimed that support of the corporate credit system was an unconstitutional and corrupt act which has throughout the last half of the twentieth century "...[deprived the majority of Americans] of their property until [their] posterity wakes up homeless..."[citation needed], a paraphrased quotation attributed to Thomas Jefferson.

On April 6, 2010, Daniel E. Petersen was sentenced to serve additional time for filing bogus liens against three federal judges from prison, including the judge who had originally sentenced him to prison.
