The Boston Herald has reported today – the Fourth of July — that 11 men were not arrested following a clash with the authorities in Wakefield, Massachusetts on Route I-93 North.
The Herald’s Amy Sokolow reports the incident as follows:
The group of 11 militiamen who ended up in an hours-long standoff with police in Wakefield on Saturday morning espouses a conspiracy-based, anti-government agenda that combines sovereign-citizen beliefs with those of the Moorish Science Temple.
The group, self-identified as the Rise of the Moors, live-streamed its standoff on Saturday on its YouTube page, in which its leader, identified on the group’s website as Jamhal Talib Abdullah Beym, said the group is “not anti-government” and was being “extra careful” not to violate the federal laws of the United States.
The men were apparently on their way to a training session in Maine, possibly related to the national “independence” holiday.
The leader, Talib Abdullah Beym, identified himself as a former Marine. They were well-armed, as is permitted by the Second Amendment.
The Boston Herald – whose star is rising, thanks to the collapse of the Boston Globe, did not mention how the stand-off began, but we are pleased that it ended peacefully.
On Declaring One’s Independence from the Reigning Authority Type Thing
Related to the above matter, I believe it would be appropriate to quote from a lengthy document that I found at archive.org. It should be better known; in particular it makes one feel that the Fourth of July has some salience still.
Surprisingly, 56 men appended their John Hancock, as it were, to the following bold declaration:
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
–That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security
.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within.
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers.
He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.
He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.
He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:
For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:
For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world:
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies:
For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.
We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare,
That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Some appropriate drinking thinking music
It’s a catchy tune for sure, Julius.
Your video has absolutely made my Fourth of July, Julius. And I found one with clearer diction. It says “the myrtle of Venus.” On your edition I thought they were singing “the fertile of penis.”
Oopsie doopsie. The Independent, UK, is saying that the 11 men WERE arrested. I am not sure. Can’t get back into the Herald article as it is paywalled. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the “satire.”
(Dee wants me to say it is a satire. I don’t think anything is a satire, given the current state of Covid vax genocide…)
UPDATE. YES THEY WERE ARRESTED.
“All of the men are being held on $100,000 bail except fro the 17-year-old, who was released to his parents.
“The standoff started around 1:30 Saturday morning when a state trooper noticed the men fueling their vehicles in the breakdown lane on I-95. The trooper noticed the men were in military-style uniforms and carrying rifles and handguns. The men could not produce licenses to carry or drive, Mason said, and at some point, some went into the woods.
“Two of the men were arrested while the remaining members barricaded themselves on the highway. Residents in the area of North Avenue, Parker Road and Ash Street in Wakefield and Reading were told to shelter in place, and businesses in the area were told to not open”. — by the staff at Patch.com

When the CPS comes to your house to take the kid, how do you know it’s the CPS?
Think about it.
Why does he have a fake radar, you would think a real one would be more useful.
Now if you can just get some “real” credentiled identification.As broken by one DeeMac@lilolgumshoes.com(wish I could find the link but I have taken the earlier advice<cheers), how would you know, except by a leap of faith.
In Australia off-duty police have no more power to pull any motorist over than anyone else. As this “sheriff” wasn’t uniformed when he pulled the impersonaters over it appears that he was guilty of the self-same offence
Quite apart from that his main concern appears to have been that there was “a gun and a knife” in their vehicle(1:50 min):So far as civilian disarmament goes California is unquestionably a worse shit-hole than anywhere downunder
That’s Taxachusetts not Cal.
Berry, I think a sheriff is always on duty. Remember Andy Griffith? But I’ll check on it.
You been watching too much tele girl !
Mayb(r)ee Berry, ahh the 440.(blue bro clip)
Hope you guys did’nt disenfranchise TV(truth vigilate’) like history, in my holiday/break.
Maybe start at 4 minutes. The TiWi Island transgender girls.
Not looking to be independent from Australia!
How bored would you have to be to put such a seriously boring story together ?
Like the guy below points out, doing/not doing anything that conflicts with State law needs to be preceded by formally advising the respective Governor of the whys and wherefores & giving him/her a reasonable amount of time to respond:
In 2015 I informed Kerry Sanderson(Western Australia)like so. Her response was “I don’t have the power to do anything”. Seriously!
The Moor group might well have been acting like fools but the fact that a complete non-incident consumed NINE hours of tax-funded policing does kinda speak volumes
July the first, we in the Northern Territory celebrated Self Government Day, in which we get drunk and try to forget the day we were taken over by criminals, had our egalitarian town converted into havens for the elite and, elsewhere, ghettoes for the poor and oppressed.
However, being in the midst of lockdown, we had to suck beer through masks… a kind of auto-waterboarding in which we force ourselves to give up secrets… such as we know covid is a hoax and mRNA is slow-motion suicide.
Here, we vote with pencils for players selected, as we’re ushered by ccp personnel to the cardboard ballot boxes. Freedom a dream we never had, masked up in line for luciferase jabs, the agenda unopposed continues. We have been fed tell lies vision since screen conception, becoming products of their brainwashing. We are people no more, just consumers with a number and a use by date. This dystopian nightmare is all fake artificial insanity, with gadgets powered by batteries sealing our fate, $2 shop style. That is, buy today replace tomorrow, nothing lasts for long in ignorant survival bliss. The exception being the crown kabal ccp triumvirate of abominations in total control.
The snoops and goons, on all bases loaded, enforcing slavery with no jab no play, where stupid is smart, coming to neighbourhoods with 5G ‘freedom’ at the touch of a child’s fingertips. There goes our nation, like all others.
If you ever see an old kelvinator fridge, made in the fifties, they’re probably still working. Buy a Toyota or vw, maybe 200,000 k’s. Buy a modern apartment, for a million bucks plus another million for the bank, count yourselves lucky with a one or two year warranty. No wonder there are more cranes in Sydney than total US combined, here stupid is getting stronger minute by minute.
Before PA and 911, this place still had some potential but the traitors wouldn’t have it any other way, so here we are.
n.b; Kelvi fridges we’re made in Australia.
When your borders are open and you have the first and second amendment, you are wide open to armed insurrection, undertaken within but planned and financed without.
Richard Fidler’s “The Golden Maze” is a most enjoyable book that gives an excellent understanding of corrupted politics and the battles faced by Czechoslovakia during the Nazi and Soviet Occupations. I recommend this book for anyone who is even mildly tempted to welcome the new global agenda. It is an excellent education on the gigantic challenges of regaining freedom on both a national and an individual level, as well as the underlying bitterness that lingers for decades.
There are frightening parallels to the COVID-19 “Occupation”….
As we have seen on GumShoe, there are many present-day heroes – including our dear undaunted editors – but the battle against apathy and gullibility is far from over. I’m very buoyed by Riccardo Bosi’s Australia1 – finally a political party that’s ballsy, fighting for we, the people! Check it out: https://australiaoneparty.com/ The time for change and action is NOW, especially if our sneaky leaders “pull a swifty” and bring the election forward, as Riccardo suggests they will.
Riccardo Bosi is living in the real world. Quel relief!
Hope he will take part in August 31st– Standing in Silence action– Karen Brewer–this will be the test for all of us–
I’m so tired of the BS. Sydney is being locked-down because of the latest ‘variant’ of the alleged corona virus. Here’s some empirical data from the UK on the latest variant.
US-Engineered Arab Spring was/is Aimed at Russia’s Southern Border
NATO member Turkey’s consideration of a military base in Azerbaijan – which borders Russia – is yet another dangerous provocation by the Western military bloc.
Worse still is that Turkey had flown in hundreds of Syrian mercenaries/terrorists to fight in last year’s Azeri-Armenian conflict. Considering that the original intention of the US-engineered 2011 “Arab Spring” was to create an arc of chaos from North Africa to Central Asia before targeting Russia directly and specifically with terrorists from across the region – this is an exceptionally dangerous development.
Great analysis but looks like Russia is winning, now they have got off USD hegemony and just today they are giving the French the middle finger, saying “champagne” is only to be used to describe Russian origin sparkling wine. In other words it’s a “Russia First” policy now.
DAY OF THE SLAVES, PARALLEL-CONSTRUCTION &: [de]CLARATION OF THE SOVEREIGN.
If the entire legal and banking framework has separated from the continent and the people on it (via corporate law etc), can it really take the continent and people with it, or is it in fact the legal and banking framework which has gone adrift ? I guess it depends on “the people” and how much they can put up with. So we are being tested, while at the same time the younger ones are being groomed and re-programmed to accept the new “reality”.

“Q Fever” – coxiella burneti. Please watch. Developed in the US for Bio Warfare. Supposedly stopped in the 80’s (I think) but check out the symptoms, testing, spread, etc. looks awfully familiar and of course it’s “Q” fever.
The whole Q nightmare was just so they could pinpoint any potential problems which means “D to the T” is in on the entire thing. Which is quite scary.
Meanwhile in California, the skies look like milk from the “contrails”…has been a cloudy year but only 6 hours of rain for the whole year. “Watch the water”
