How the fuck is anyone bamboozled by this FOTLer shit? Semi-colon guy is an obvious crank with his barely-better-than-Geocities website design, but underneath its much slicker presentation this "Universal Community Trust" isn't any better.
Here's a quote from UCT which stood out to me:
"One of the most compelling reasons for joining UCT, and unique to UCT, is that the UCT and UCT Treaty have been proclaimed and established in international law.
On 31 August 2012, the Secretary of State of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office [UK government] was sent a copy of the Treaty of Universal Community Trust, outlining the rights of indigenous nations to independence, self-determination and self-governance, as per established principles and conventions in international law.
Relevant conventions include the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties 1969, the Convention on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples 2007, and the Law of Nations.
When six months had passed with no objections, on 15 March 2013 a Notice of Memorandum of Understanding was delivered to Queen Elisabeth II, acknowledging acquiescence of HM’s government to the terms, aims and objectives of the UCT Treaty, as well as their implicit recognition of the independence, sovereignty and jurisdiction established by its ratification, under the well established principles of the Law of Nations.
Six months after the Memorandum of Understanding had passed, the UCT Treaty, our non-governmental jurisdiction and the sovereign rights of our indigenous micro-nations were regarded as a matter of fact, as per international conventions. This means their existence could not be questioned.
Matter of Law
And in 2020, after seven years had passed since the Memorandum of Understanding, these were now established as a matter of law, according to international conventions, especially the Law of Treaties and the Law of Nations.
This places UCT in an even stronger position than before."
So if I'm reading this correct, they basically sent a letter to the UK government saying "hey dudes, this is the law now", and when it inevitably got completely fucking ignored, they interpreted that massive indifference as some kind of assent.
How the fuck can anyone think that's how lawmaking works?! It's literally the kind of tactic a child would pull. "If you're a big doo-doo head then say nothing". Where are the relevant Acts of Parliament with the Queen's signature?
That's another thing, for their claims they provide no references to any outside sources that aren't other FOTLer sites. If this stupid letter they sent has become part of UK and international law, then why is there no link to the relevant parts of legislation.gov.uk and the UN website?
How the fuck do people stick with this shit after the first time they get burned? Because surprise surprise, wibbling a load of pseudo-legal drivel all over the shop doesn't nullify the very real power that the state has to compel you to do things. There's loads of videos of these types getting their arses handed to them on YouTube, usually the idiots are in their cars and have been pulled over by the cops, or they're in court. It's incredibly cringe and they never win. How the fuck does this crap manage to survive when it crumbles into dust at the slightest contact with reality?
