Yep! The British Crown is becoming worried, the sheople are no longer willing to be herded.
There are only 25 million people in Canada and most Canadians have been disarmed. If they cannot control the movement in Canada, how then could they possibly control it in the United States

Anti-government freemen movement creating ‘major policing problem’: report

An anti-government movement known as Freeman on the Land has become a “major policing problem” in several provinces, according to a threat assessment by Canada’s spy officials.
The report by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service lists Freeman members among “domestic extremists” who associate with issue-based causes, such as environmentalism, anti-capitalism, anti-globalization and far-right racism.
Its adherents fall on both the left and right wings of the political spectrum, but “at the core” of the movement is the belief that “government operates outside of its legal jurisdiction and therefore Freeman members do not recognize the authority of national, provincial, or municipal laws, policies or regulations,” says the report, titled Canada: Biannual Update on Terrorist and Extremist†Threats, which was prepared in April and released under federal access-to-information laws.
“Freeman members now constitute a major policing problem in several provinces and have occasionally engaged in acts of violence against the police,” the report states.
In various videos posted online, supporters of the Freeman movement in Canada – including outspoken advocate Robert Menard – reject any association with violent extremism and insist they are “peaceful and loving.”
Law enforcement officials are not convinced.
A national RCMP spokeswoman said Friday that the force is working with the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police to develop materials for front-line officers to increase their awareness and understanding of the Freeman movement and its followers.
“Individuals associated to this movement are a concern because some followers advocate violence to promote their views and this may involve violence toward police officers,” Sgt. Julie Gagnon said in an email. “There are officer safety concerns when dealing with followers of this movement during routine police interaction.”
Last month, the Anti-Defamation League published a report that described the so-called “sovereign citizen movement” as “one of the most problematic domestic extremist movements in the United States,” attracting mostly middle-aged or older men who are financially stressed, angry at government regulation or who want “something for nothing.”

The report cited the 2010 shooting deaths of two West Memphis, Ark., police officers during a traffic stop. The suspects, a father and son who were later killed in a shootout with police, belonged to the sovereign citizen movement.
Earlier this year, a Nova Scotia jury convicted a man of uttering a threat to kill police officers and for multiple firearms offences. Court records state that Daren McCormick, a Freeman on the Land follower, told an officer that he could outdraw police and that if a police cruiser ever pulled up in his yard, he’d kill the officers. When police moved to arrest him the following day, they found him with a loaded .44-calibre revolver in a holster strapped to his hip.
McCormick asserted that the doctrines of Freeman on the Land free him from the Criminal Code, including its gun laws, and that he was free to carry a gun even to go grocery shopping, according to the records. He also claimed his right to travel highways without a licence or registration.
Last year, RCMP officials in B.C. issued a bulletin to officers urging them to be cautious when dealing with suspected Freemen because of their belief in the right to use force in defence of their land, property and family.
The bulletin said some followers may refer to themselves using the phrase “of the family,” such as “John of the Family Smith,” or claim to be a “Son of God.”
They also may present to officers a document that they believe exempts them from the authority of the police and entitles them to charge fees if they are detained. “Subjects make continued use of nonsensical legal/quasi-legal jargon,” the bulletin said.
Some Canadian judges have expressed frustration with Freemen tying up the court system.
In September, John Rooke, associate chief justice of the Court of Queen’s Bench in Alberta, issued a scathing ruling against a self-described Freeman, Dennis Larry Meads, for holding up his divorce proceedings by making “bluntly idiotic” arguments.
At one point, court records state, after the judge informed Meads of the basics of family law proceedings, Meads replied that “there are rules above man’s rules, and God’s laws is where your laws originated from.”
The judge characterized the “gurus” behind the Freeman on the Land and similar movements as “nothing more than “con men,” who pitch distorted world views on followers through seminars, books, websites and DVDs.

I like these Freemen!!!


John Chapter 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

The bottom line here is that as many as received God (Jesus) (in their hearts), to them gave He POWER to become the Sons of God!!! Even to them that believe on His name (Jesus)!!! We ARE The Sons Of God, and WE ARE POWERFUL!!!!
Bible VersionsKJVJohnJohn 10John 10:33-40
John 10:33 (King James Version)
The Jews answered him, saying , For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said , Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came , and the scripture cannot be broken ; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified , and sent into the world , Thou blasphemest ; because I said , I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do , though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know , and believe , that the Father is in me, and I in him. 39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, 40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized ; and there he abode .
These are the same people we are Now fighting against (their unjust principles, etc.) Carnal minded men and satanists running our government for their own selfish greedy gain don't know God and never will!!

Seems the Faux Governments of the World have forgotten that is WE THE PEOPLE who are the real government. And they derive their power from us. It is what we ALLOW. Period.

So I guess this means the freemen are all men that are free? Just clarifying! So everyone else are slave men, right? So how do you know if you are free or a slave?
Checking history we find that one month after the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln, the first shots of the American Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter,
South Carolina on April 12, 1861. The fifth and final American Bank War was beginning.
Certainly slavery was a cause for the Civil War, but not the primary cause. Lincoln knew that the economy of the South
depended upon slavery and so (before the Civil War) he had no intention of eliminating it. Lincoln had put it this way in his
inaugural address only one month earlier:
“I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it now exists. I believe
I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.”
Even after the first shots were fired at Fort Sumter, Lincoln continued to insist that the Civil War was not about the issue of
slavery:
“My paramount objective is to save the Union, and it is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without
freeing any slave, I would do it.”
So what was the Civil War all about? There were many factors at play. Northern industrialists had used protective tariffs to
prevent their southern states from buying cheaper European goods. Europe retaliated by stopping cotton imports from the
South. The Southern states were in a financial bind. They were forced to pay more for most of the necessities of life while
their income from cotton exports plummeted. The South grew increasingly angry.
But there were other factors at work. The Money Changers were still stung by America’s withdrawal from their control 25
years earlier. Since then, America’s wildcat economy, despite the presence of fractional reserve banking with its attendant
booms and busts, had made the nation rich – a bad example for the rest the world.
The central bankers now saw an opportunity to use the North/South divisions to split the rich new nation – to divide and
conquer by war. Was this just some sort of wild conspiracy theory? Well, let’s look at what a well placed observer of the scene
had to say at time.
This was Otto von Bismarck, Chancellor of Germany, the man who united the German states in 1871. A few years later, in
1876, he is quoted as saying:
“It is not to be doubted, I know of absolute certainty,” Bismarck declared, “that the division of the United States into two
federations of equal power was decided long before the Civil War by the high financial powers of Europe. These bankers were
afraid that the United States, if they remained as one block and were to develop as one nation, would attain economic and financial independence, which would upset the capitalist domination of Europe over the world.” So slaves, go back to sleep, and free men you are screwed
