A B.C. family’s attempt to trade in their birth certificates for access to mythic, secret bank accounts containing untold riches has prompted a scathing decision from a judge, who called their claims “incoherent, unintelligible nonsense.”
Jason and Nadia Zimmer, residents of Abbotsford, B.C. — a city about 70 kilometres southeast of Vancouver — along with their daughter Taliyah, filed a petition in B.C. Supreme Court earlier this year, arguing that they were each “promised heir to the kingdom” at birth, but they have been unfairly denied their rightful property by government officials.
Their claim appears to draw on a decades-old pseudolegal scheme promoted by leaders in the Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Argument (OPCA) world, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Gary Weatherill said in a judgment posted online this week, describing it as completely devoid of any merit.
Oh no, my arch enemy reality!
The relevant Wikipedia page, if like me you know the phenomenon but are hearing “OPCA” for the first time (it’s just under “pseudolaw” on there, though). It’s nutty but I find it interesting as an object of study.
That “Theories” tab is a great read. Thanks for the link!
The one time i actually want to read the comments from the crazies.
Maybe Queen Romana Didulo I should step up and give them some of her currency…
Something something the queen only recieves, not gives, something something only for the queen’s use…
