In the UK they would need an extraction license from the local Water Authority to pump water from the river and they would still have to pay an annual water 'rate'. All fresh water in the UK is the property of the water authorities. Even houses in the remote hills with water fed from streams or springs have to pay water rates (although at a less rate than someone on mains water)

It's an obsolete term from the days when your Dole was payed into the Gyro Bank.

Girobank was a British public Bank Established by the Post Office in 1968. In 1990 it was bought by Alliance & Leicester Group.

Benefits haven't been paid into the 'Gyro' since the 80s but the name has stuck.

You used to get a cheque once a fortnight that you took to the Post office and they gave you the cash.

And yes it will not pay for an vacation/freeman resort in Canada.

There's already problems in HappyLand:


In any event, we spoke with the owner and investor yesterday, and they like the idea, but think it has to be started a little smaller, (I do always think big) and there were concerns about people living there full time. He did not like that part of the plan. Mostly he does not want ******** on his land.



Could this be referring to Rob?

i always though it was called a giro because when you received a cheque from the dole it had giro written on it. I did sign on briefly back in 1990 so it's been twenty years, things have probably changed.

Giro was the name of the bank issuing the cheques, you cashed them through the post office. That's how they got their name.

Funny, in communist Sweden giro is a method of payment - anonymized banking details, basically. I was surprised the concept didn't exist here in the UK, and people seem (quite justifiably) paranoid about giving their bank account numbers to others. No such worries with giro, as they're deposit-only accounts - you can withdraw from the actual account that's backing the number though.

that's why i've left, the final straw was the freeman valley. I knew then that it was over for him. I don't think melinclone has deserted him though, not when you read some of the emails i had with warnings from him.
There is no doubt that yozhik is menard. I put it to him that he was yohzik with the weetabix scandal, off course he ignored it but since yozhik only contributes by defending rob and throwing insults it seems highly likely he is.
It was a fight that was needed especially when you read some of the sad characters on there living their lives with mental delusions,take bones and his stuff about his child going to school. His boy is three years old and about to attend nursery where he'll mix with kids,play in the sand, sing songs,draw pictures, you know the kind of thing that all kids love to do but bones thinks he's off to the indoctrination centre and the teachers or social workers will be looking for reasons to take him away from him. This kid has no chance when his dad is a nutter. It saddens me when the delusions from the icke site are more important to him than his own child's education. And they think they're not in a cult.
It's a disgusting place and icke is a total charlatan, worse than menard. Menard is just a forty five year old loser who live in a bedsit dreaming he's the leader of a world wide revolution, icke on the other hand accuses people of being a pedophile or offers medical advice or other disturbing things that lead the believers to become isolated from family and friends.
Ickes motivation is money and alcohol, oh yes he likes a drink.

Conman ,clown or something worse?
Rob has alleged in the past that he had a child taken from him by social services thats why he started his crusade.
He even started a website about it
I suggest you read the letter he sent to SS and make up your own minds.
http://www.angelfire.com/rebellion/elizabeth/

In a debate about consent on David Ickes he wrote this
Quote:
Jesus was not a respecter of statutes and rules made up by the Pharisees and Sadducees.

He was also the product of a young woman maybe a virgin, though likely a victim of rape, likely close to 14 years of age, and a mature and very much older man (likely closer to 35 years of age, as he was dead by the time Jesus was 12) and they ran in the dead of night to escape the 'statutes' of their day, and crossed state lines to avoid the 'authorities'.

I know brian is trying to trap me, and will try to use the birth of Christ and the circumstances surrounding his birth, to claim I am not a supporter of the Christian foundation, that being that a much older man saved a young woman from a stoning for being pregnant with Christ, and that he ran with her, and avoided the statute enforcers of HIS day, and was an older male with a very young pregnant girl, pregnant with a child that was not his own..... and he was running from the statutes of his day... and HE FELT GOD HAD TOLD HIM TO DO SO!!
http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showt...=129894&page=8

washing his dirty laundry in public or openly and proudly justifying his actions.

All very strange

Merl is still there defending Rob to the end. I've received 4 warnings for even mentioning Rob nowadays, I've lost 6 demerit points on the forums, whatever that means. Guess it means I can't go on the class trip or something.

I posted that site of Robs and tried to show Rob was a liar, that child isn't even his, post deleted, more demerit points lost.

Bump for some chuckles.

Menard thinks that George Lucas well offer to settle over Menard's violation of the Lucasfilm C-3PO trademark.

http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=131662

Yup. Menard thinks Lucas will pay him.

BTW: If the person who sent the email mentioned on that thread also is a member here - the issue is trademarks, not copyright. Lucasfilm should probably be notified that some loon is name-jacking one of their trademarks in order to advertise a service.

If he gets a cease and desist from Lucasfilm, I think he should fight it with an FMOTL-style defence.

It's the least he can do to keep us entertained.

He's had another new addition, a girl,

another one no doubt that''ll piggy back on the heard immunity as he seems..........forceful about jabs and vaccinations.

He's even drawn the line at the heel prick test, concerned about the removal of blood, it's a sodding heel prick test not a bleeding transfusion. Claims you can test for those disorders in urine from 6 weeks, don't know if this true.

I guess he won't be claiming the extra child benefit because of his freeman views, the NHS hospital was good enough for them though as was the CHEMICALLY induced labour but not the vit K injection.

I wouldn't worry too much about him claiming child benefits as the child will more than likely end up with social services, hes certainly helping them tick all the right boxes.

Then the whole DIcke site can launch into a "State sponsored Child stealing Paedophile " thread and get all orgasmic over the oppression of the down trodden masses by gov't and the BildeIlluminRothsBerg connection.

This really shows FMOTLers are living in a different reality. You watch that video and what do you see? Some guy making a judge mad, a judge threatening him with contempt, a judge putting the court into a temporary recess (it could have been for any reason). Thats a win...how?

My favorite part is when they recessed and the guy SCREAMED "ON AND FOR THE RECORD THE JUDGE HAS ABANDONED THE SHIP AND I AS A SOVEREIGN CITIZEN DECLARE THE CASE DISMISSED WITH CAUSE..." and other magical legal woo that just made the court staff stare at him like he was nuts.

the levels of insanity are gradually increasing.
They are getting more and more desperate in their attempts at flouting the system.

What they fail to grasp is that these videos will generate enough interest to the legal system to make sure all judges and magistrates are ready next time they come in.
So it will go something like this

Is Fred Bloggs here today?
No I am commonly known as Fred
So you are not Fred Bloggs?
No I'm known as Fred.
As Fred Bloggs is not in court we shall proceed without him, remove the man commonly know as Fred from the court.

But of course that will just prove the system is corrupt and will go in the success stories section.

Everyone's a winner

How can 'fresh water' en situ (or at least in streams / wells etc) belong to somebody?

Claiming ownership of the water table, what a ludicrous concept! I am very shocked at this. Sure, the water company charge for purification and supply to a home as per service provided, great - but to actually claim ownership of all natural water resources!

What a strange world we live in to give rise to such a concept lol

There's somewhere people have to pay the water company to use non-water-company water? In Texas if you are not on a water service, you will have to pay somebody to drill the well and you may have to pay for equipment to take stuff like iron out of the water so it doesn't turn your laundry orange (been there, done that) but you don't have to pay anybody for the water.

In the UK you do. Up until the 80s water companies were part of the local Govt, people on a well or spring fed supply paid nothing. When the water industry was 'privatised' by the Conservative Govt everyone had to pay a 'Water Rate' even those with their own well etc. This was done to maximise the return for the newly created water companies, it helped to encourage investors to buy the shares. Same for Sewerage. Even if you aren't connected to the sewer system you pay for it.

Latest from Menard.

He openly admits that freemanism fails in court thus making freemen look stupid. He's obviously getting frustrated with the fact that us nasty debunkers use these failures to, as he puts it, "denigrate the whole movement".

http://forum.worldfreemansociety.org...p=49042#p49042

His new strategy when asked for proof that freemansim works? This:

Quote:
I claim no one here may govern me without my consent, and it is evidenced with the reality of them not doing it.

http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=134726
Where "no one here" refers to the lunatics at the Icke forum. Some proof.

Of course, the Canadian government continues to govern him without his consent, but that doesn't stop our intrepid freeman! Like when he wasn't allowed to board a domestic flight because he didn't have government-issued id:

http://www.avcanada.ca/forums2/viewt...8508630edded8f

So much for consent. Foiled by those dirty statutes again. Back to the drawing board, I guess.

I don't suppose we could convince any of the mods there to take that as a challenge, could we?

That'll be the day.

Mind you, even if he did get modded, he could just say that he consented to the forum rules and thus is actually being governed by consent.
