I may not be a sovereign citizen, but I am a sauvignon citizen. That means I’m full bodied with a peppery finish, and if a police officer so much as approaches me there’s a 90 percent chance I’m getting tased. As a sauvignon citizen I may not be a member of the United States, but I do have a piece of paper I bought off the internet that identifies me as grown in the Bordeaux region of France where the nights chill leaves the thinnest layer of frost, perfect for the dark red fruity notes I’m known for. Also if anyone asks me for my driver’s license I’ll spray blood out of my eyes like a horned lizard and continue doing whatever it was that requires a driver's license. Nobody can stop me until I’ve achieved my goal of becoming entirely sauvignon. The sauvignon code says “no country, no king, medium-high tannins” and those are words I will defend no matter how many times I need to replace my windows or see my car impounded because the license plate is just a piece of paper that reads PRIVATE RESERVE. One day this country will finally wake up and realize that the government doesn’t exist, and police aren’t allowed to arrest you until you’ve decanted for at least an hour. Also as a sauvignon citizen my appearance on To Catch a Predator is not legally binding in any way, nor are the forged checks that multiple state counties that I don't recognize are out to get me for without my consent.

It was always a customer service challenge when ever I took one of these calls. Long story short, the bank foreclosed on a lot of 'domiciles' of 'sovereign' customers who stopped making their mortgage payments.

That’s an unprofessional Sovereign. Years ago I stopped a vehicle which was displaying an unauthorised licence plate. Much effort had gone into the construction of the plate as it even had an embossed sovereign citizen cvoat of arms on it. As part of the action I took I seized the licence plates & also arrested the sovereign who assaulted me whilst trying to take his fraudulent property back. It was very exciting stuff 😂 A few weeks later I was served with a PILE of paperwork indicating that I had been convicted in a Sovereign Courts ‘sentenced to life in prison for the grand larceny (of the licence plate). The paperwork suggested I handed myself in immediately to prevent further punishment. 😮 A few weeks later the sovereign failed to appear at court & a warrant was issued for his arrest. I couldn’t help myself, armed with the warrant I attended the property where the sovereign resided. Upon arrival I was greeted with a large fence & a sign stating that entry into the property required a valid passport & visa (as apparently I was entering a different country). There was an intercom, security camera the gate was bolted with lock & chain. I rang the intercom but there was no response BUT I noted security cameras were panning in my direction so in order to affect the warrant I removed my trusty bolt cutters & breached the gates security. I then drove onto the property & proceeded along the driveway towards the homestead. About 3/4’s of the way I was confronted by a “small army” of folks dressed In quasi military uniform & the sovereign was leading them. The sovereign commanded his troops to arrest me & take me to cells 🙄 After a short standoff of perhaps 3 seconds, I placed the sovereign into handcuffs & conveyed him back to the Police Station where he was prepped for appearance directly before the court. Apparently I am still listed as a fugitive in his world 🤣

They use the term more as a reference to "natural law", which can be defined as rules of behavior that arise out of the general nature of people living together -- like theft, robbery, murder, trespassing, etc. all being illegal under natural law theory. The problem is that natural law theory is not a workable legal system, and like most natural law theorists, it becomes a proxy for "what I don't like is illegal because reasons". They don't make the distinction that the legal system does. They see "common" law as meaning "the law that applies to everyone regardless of which country they're in" and not the English system of judge-made law that takes past appellate decisions as a living and evolving legal system.

Unalienable rights is a lawful term that does work in a court of law, and the US Government acknowledges all people with unalienable rights and freedoms. SEE: Title 18 U.S.C. § 241, 242.

It's too bad there is so much corruption in government, it certainly helps to foster the kind of extreme distrust in people with a psychological profile like described in this video.

The problem with USA is that you are not only right about corruption in government, but USA seems to have an enormous problem when it comes to mental health issues that with certain aspects of USA culture are actually encouraged to get worse. With an almost non existing mental health system, these people are essentially left to fend for themselves in a system that couldn't give a crap about them.

I would love to see a video where Dr. Grande talks about Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, a TV show from the CW network that delves into mental health issues where the main character Rebecca Bunch is diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.

I think you mean...EX President. Trump got his butt booted in 2020.

The more I listened to the description of these people)s behaviour the angrier I got for no reason. Perhaps the level of stupid, combined with self importance. Strange reaction, it really surprised me.

Dr. Grande gets this one right. I've been laughing at SovCits for years. The one thing about SovCits is that they tend to solve the problem themselves when they get to court. They always self-represent regardless of the charges. They think that lawyers don't know the law. It is very entertaining to watch although repetitive.

I'm not really liking this video, just speculating on what my reaction could be to a video like this.

Great video sir. I'm fascinated by this movement and often wondered about the psychology behind it.

When they return, the TV show live pd showed officers encountering them often during highway patrols. Thats how I first learned of them.

Dr. Grande your Insights are peerless.

I’m a social worker. There was a movement called ‘move’ ...not sure if still around, but I remember I had a family in the group & they wouldn’t sign papers etc. Some of their beliefs were similar to this.

Wow you hit the nail on the head on this one! My ex is in this sovereign clan. He is a Malignant Narcissist through and through. He is paranoid, when he choses to be, but not completely delusional, at times, I think he knows somewhat its all bs but by spreading the message he brings fear then power to those around him and that's what he feeds on. He has all his paperwork printed out. He has been in and out of court and representing himself with that crap. I agree with you Dr Grande, they need to believe this delusion and their 'birthright' stacks of cash cause of all the crimes they commit. I dont believe everyone who lives like this is that extreme cause most of them have spouses and kids and the 'Believer' will force them to live this way, so they're just doing what they're told. But those that truly believe this craziness they are just gone. Hope the innocent bystanders are able to escape that life. Oh and he is a big time scam artist. Anything to make a quick buck.

omg i would've never thought to suggest this topic, but i'm so happy to hear your analysis about this movement! i hope you'll cover julian assange someday, especially with all the court hearings going on rn for his extradition. 🙏🏻

@@jaker1160 In 1998, an attorney at Cornell U published a website called "Idiot Legal Arguments" that had specific case law citations covering hundreds of bullshit legal claims these people use- like "income tax is unconstitutional" or the whole gold-fringed flag and "i don't need a driver's license" nonsense. In other words, it was "old news" 32 years ago. I think the SPLC has it tracked as far back as the 1950's, though people weren't calling it "sovereign citizen" back then. When it's harmless, it's kind of funny -- a great example of "cargo culting", where "we have no idea what any of this actually means, but if we do the same dance and sing the same songs as the people who do, we'll get the same blessings they get" -- whether it's building an airport and fake planes out of bamboo or throwing legal-sounding words together randomly.

Yes I liked the video. I was unaware of this movement. Your description of it was fairly articulate however I would like to hear more of 'your thoughts' on it. thanks

I had never heard of this before...very interesting as usual 🤔

Lots of information and helped me understand more. Very strange behavior I wonder if this is generational through family members or if people fall down a rabbit hole at some point in their life and change.

Lori Vallow's father was involved in the sovereign citizen movement. Think about phrases like "convenient way to escape any legal responsibility" and Lori. Entitlement, overconfidence and arrogance also seem to apply to her. Could her father's beliefs helped her see herself as special and above the law? Could this be one of the reasons she disregarded court orders so casually?

Hello Dr.T.Grande just came to watch your Great Videos and to learn something new

If Goffman were alive, I wonder what he would say about this group? Their beliefs reflect those of a cult with variable motivations and behaviors that display their sovereign ideology. Extremely opportunistic folks who form a group to cast aspersions and divide another. Thank you so much!!!! As always, your analysis taught taught me a great deal that I would not have learned without this video.

This makes me think that you should do an analysis of Kent Hovind. That would be really interesting! He is part of this movement and was incarcerated for tax fraud for 10 or so years, claims to have a PhD of some kind though it isn't valid, was an alleged "science teacher" for a private unaccredited school program, and is a young earth creationist preacher (which would be the crazy theory that he believes instead lizzard people :P).

ALL PEOPLE BORN ARE CONSIDERED SOVEREIGN. All states in the US are Sovereign. It is NOT a movement, it is established law, but these people that claim being sovereign, were taught from a person that is as radical as TODD GRANDE on his narrative, than person that was taught be a radical sovereign in their narrative. Ignorance is the weakness of humans when they just take someones word for it and live their life in a way that is extreme, rather than being well informed.

Actually, if Todd Grande did any kind of research, he would have presented the real truth of it, which exists under standing law, Constitution and civil rights. Todd Grande lied on almost every subject and suppressed truth in the video, in support of a narrative that enslaves people under corrupt portions of Government that do not want its enslaved citizen to know their rights.

Thankyou DrGrande for explaining the underlying personality factors that Sovereign Citizens often have which lead to their odd belief system.
