The contemporary sovereign belief system is based on a decades-old conspiracy theory. Contemporary sovereign citizens hold varying racial ideologies and include a variety of people, most commonly white and African American. What has changed since the movement’s inception is the white supremacist ideology that initially dominated it. These actions, which were established by Gale’s group, have become customary in today’s sovereign citizens movement. The activities of Potter’s Posse, many of them crimes, included refusal to pay taxes, filing property liens and committing violence against public officials. Potter’s posse believed they served under common law (laws based on their interpretation of the Bible), rather than civil law (legitimate laws formed by the American legal system). Posse Comitatus is based on the Sheriffs Act of 1887, which allowed sheriffs to form a posse that would assist them in hunting down and arresting criminals. They identified themselves as Posse Comitatus, which is Latin for “power of the county” and centers on the idea that county sheriffs are the highest governmental authority. They believed that non-white people were not human, and that Jews possessed a satanic plot to take over the world. Potter formed a group of antigovernment Christian Identity adherents who mistrusted state and federal officials. It was founded by William Potter Gale, former member of the John Birch Society.

The Better Business Bureau has had 50 complaints against Neo Tech in the last three years. The letter asked Kasadorf to mail her response to a post office box in Las Vegas.ĬTV News did a little digging and traced that address to a publishing company called Neo Tech Publishing Company I was also told not to tell anyone about this and there's something wrong with that too," Kasadorf said. "I was told to send a permission slip or order for this by Friday (April 24) otherwise this would be null and void. When translated it said Kasadorf's name had been analyzed and she had "special hidden talents." She claimed she won everytime she gambled and that "her memory improved."īut most mysteriously, the letter had a section in Greek. The writer, who called herself Tiffany, went on to list how this offer had changed her life. The six page letter - postmarked from Hong Kong - went on to promise she would receive "something of immense value from (the letter writer) absolutely free." The letter said Dena Kasadorf had been chosen to join "an exclusive association, a secret society of the world's most famous and powerful people."
