I think he's far more stupid than he is troll. He must be committed if so, guys been at it forever peddling the dumbest of theories. They're too ridiculous to even be considered conspiracy theories, the guy just doesn't have reading comprehension.

He thinks because the UK has a social security program of the same name and the US-UK have an agreement on how benefits are impacted for workers who earn in both systems over their lifetime that ... The US is just a subject of the British crown.

I'm not joking. He believes this.

That is too stupid and specific to be trolling. That's just a moron being confidently incorrect.

All conspiracy nuts have the same cognitive fault... an intellectual inferiority complex that drives the need to feel like they hold exclusive information. This is why they all sound the same no matter what rubbish they spew. You can completely make something up and it's basically indistinguishable from any of their "theories":

"I bet you really believe that hydrogen exists.. pffft.... wake up, sheep."

Don't forget he's also one of those "sovereign citizen" nutters who thinks the US government is illegitimate and they therefore aren't subject to its laws.

Oh, and he argued that the British started WW2 to wipe out their creditors the Jews.

‘Dark Ships’ Emerge From the Shadows of the Nord Stream Mystery

According to the analysis by satellite data monitoring firm SpaceKnow, the two "dark ships,” each measuring around 95 to 130 meters long, passed within several miles of the Nord Stream 2 leak sites. "We have detected some dark ships, meaning vessels that were of a significant size, that were passing through that area of interest,” says Jerry Javornicky, the CEO and cofounder of SpaceKnow. "They had their beacons off, meaning there was no information about their movement, and they were trying to keep their location information and general information hidden from the world,” Javornicky adds.

I wonder why we aren't hearing about this from the Russians. Perhaps they know the two ships with their AIS transponders turned off?

Never got into that level of detail with him. I think he said he was a "sovereign citizen of Connecticut" so maybe he's ok with state laws?  I'd ask but...I really don't want to. Sufficed to say I've never met a "sovereign citizen" advocate that wasn't a moron.

That's right I forgot people tried to pull that move on there.  There's a documentary on Peacock called Shadowland that's about conspiracy theories and the people they effect. The Sovereign Citizen lawyer Bobby Lawrence giving his nutjob clients some of the worst legal advice I've ever heard is one of my favorite parts. Guy is actually insane.

 

Don’t see it happening.

Putin 'has been offered surrender terms by the West' as he loses control of Kherson - and 'his cronies have reacted positively because it allows them to stay in power and avoid criminal charges' 

Vladimir Putin has been offered surrender terms by the West, a respected Russian policy expert revealed, as Moscow's troops were forced to withdraw from the city of Kherson in yet another humiliating defeat.

Professor Valery Solovey, formerly at Moscow's prestigious Institute of International Relations and who claims to have connections in the Kremlin, said the surrender would see Russia give up all territory in Ukraine with the exception of Crimea, which would become a demilitarised zone and its status would not be discussed again until 2029.

In return, Putin and his cronies would avoid criminal charges over the war and be allowed to remain in power, Professor Solovey claimed.

He said the proposal had been discussed between Kyivand its Western allies before being presented to Putin's inner circle - who had reacted positively to the idea.

Russia has been calling for a return to the negotiating table in recent days while there have been suggestions that Washington is quietly leaning on Kyiv to do the same.

General Mark Milley, head of the US general staff, said this week that a winter lull in fighting presents an 'opportunity' for talks.

President Zelensky has previously vowed never to negotiate with Russia so long as Putin remains in power.

The news emerged as Ukraine liberated Kherson after eight months of Russian occupation, with troops greeted as heroes after the last of Putin's forces fled. Weeping locals sang, danced, hugged, kissed and chanted victory slogans as Kyiv's soldiers arrived to take back the city - with parties going on into the night.

Russia claimed it had completed the retreat across the Dnipro River without losing a single soldier, but Ukrainians painted a picture of a chaotic retreat, with soldiers ditching their uniforms or drowning while trying to escape.

Solovey said the exact terms of the deal would mean Russia giving up any claim to the rest of the Kherson region, along with Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk - including areas occupied since 2014. Crimea would remain a part of Russia but would be forced to demilitarize, with the Black Sea Fleet relocated.

A 60mile-wide demilitarized zone would be created along the borders between Belarus, Russia and Ukraine with no heavy weapons allowed inside the zone. Russia would also have to give up its military presence in the Transnistria region of Moldova, while Ukraine would pledge not to join NATO for at least seven years.

Six countries have agreed to provide security guarantees underwriting the deal, Solovey claimed, though he did not name them. Guarantees would likely include a pact to come to Ukraine's defence if it were attacked again, and guarantors would likely include Kyiv's closest allies - the US and UK among them.

'If the president declines these conditions which the Russian establishment is ready to accept… then military actions continue,' said Solovey.

'If massive rocket attacks on Ukraine's critical infrastructure, first of all, power stations, resume, this means that the president does not accept these conditions,' he said. 

'If there is no bombing, it does not necessarily mean readiness to accept [the offer to surrender]. It means that the contemplation continues, and an attempt is being made to get some extra time to assess the situation.'

News of a potential Russian surrender comes as Putin's army faces a dire situation on the battlefields of Ukraine.

Having been forced to retreat from Kyiv and Kharkiv, Russia's troops withdrew from Kherson in the south: The only regional capital gained since the start of the war and capital of a region Putin declared to be part of Russia just a few weeks ago.

Moscow's troops are struggling to make any progress in Donbas despite heavy fighting in recent weeks, with the frontline having remained largely static since late July. Russia did attempt a major attack near a town called Pavlivka, in Donetsk, last week but it ended in disaster amid reports of more than 300 marines killed. 

Meanwhile Ukraine continues advancing in northern Luhansk where it is now bearing down on the cities of Svatove and Kreminna - strategic waypoints on the way to Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, two cities that Russia spent huge amount of time, effort and blood capturing over the summer.

Losing Kherson means any Russian assault on Odesa is now all-but impossible. It also means that Ukraine can now strike parts of Crimea - the crown jewel of his last invasion, in 2014 - with long-range artillery. Kyiv has already said it plans to take the peninsula back.

I sincerely doubt Putin gives two sheets what charges he might face from any non-Russian body.

 

 

I don't see how or why Ukraine would want to give up on its claims on Crimea. 

Nor do I think it makes sense to allow Russia to bolster its presence there for the next 7 years.

By taking Kherson the Ukrainians are in a position to cut off the water needed for farming in Crimea.  In combination with the damage to the Kerch Strait Bridge it should make the Russian position there untenable.  When weighing that equation though, it needs to be kept in mind that Putin does not give a damn how many Russian lives it may cost to achieve his objectives and the Russian population has bought into the propaganda and has consistently supported the "Special Military Operation".

That's awesome - and totally fits in with the rest of his tripe.

I wonder if he carries papers around in his car that he printed off the internet and tries to read to cops.
