A B.C. household’s try to commerce of their beginning certificates for entry to mythic, secret financial institution accounts containing untold riches has prompted a scathing choice from a choose, who known as their claims “incoherent, unintelligible nonsense.”
Jason and Nadia Zimmer, residents of Abbotsford, B.C. — a metropolis about 70 kilometres southeast of Vancouver — together with their daughter Taliyah, filed a petition in B.C. Supreme Court docket earlier this yr, arguing that they have been every “promised inheritor to the dominion” at beginning, however they’ve been unfairly denied their rightful property by authorities officers.
Their declare seems to attract on a decades-old pseudolegal scheme promoted by leaders within the Organized Pseudolegal Business Argument (OPCA) world, B.C. Supreme Court docket Justice Gary Weatherill mentioned in a judgment posted on-line this week, describing it as utterly devoid of any advantage.
“It’s nothing however incoherent, unintelligible nonsense devoid of any viable declare or reason for motion identified to the legislation. It’s supported by equally incoherent and unintelligible affidavits. It’s, by any measure, frivolous and vexatious to the extent that it may be struck with out additional evaluation,” Weatherill wrote.
The Zimmers have been self-represented in court docket. They haven’t responded to requests for remark.
Throughout a listening to, Jason Zimmer spoke on behalf of the household and informed the choose, “We’re right here to get our property vested,” in line with the judgment.
The household declare they’ve by no means consented to being ruled and have been asking for entry to securities allegedly earmarked for them since beginning.
A ‘conspiratorial and demon-haunted shadow world’
To know precisely what the Zimmers wished, Weatherill turned to a well-known choice from the Court docket of Queen’s Bench in Alberta that fastidiously catalogued a variety of OPCA arguments which were repeatedly examined and rejected in Canadian courts.
Within the 736-paragraph Meads v. Meads choice, Justice John Rooke outlined what he described as a “cash for nothing” scheme, particularly generally known as “Settle for for Worth” or A4V.
“The mythology behind the ‘A4V’ scheme is extraordinarily peculiar, and requires journey into the conspiratorial and demon-haunted shadow world of the OPCA group,” Rooke wrote.
“As I perceive it, A4V’s … promoters declare that every individual is related to a secret authorities checking account which incorporates tens of millions of {dollars}.”
That checking account, in line with Rooke, is often linked to some kind of authorities ID, whether or not it’s a social insurance coverage quantity or a beginning certificates.
“A4V proponents declare that the federal government keep these financial institution accounts to monetize the state after it deserted the gold customary. Put one other approach, the idea, as I perceive it, is that individuals are property of the state that it makes use of to safe its forex. That is typically expressed as some type of ‘slavery,’” he wrote.
Rooke went on to say that, “It is extremely unlucky that any individual can be so gullible as to consider that free cash could be obtained by these theatrics, however nonetheless some … seem unable to withstand the temptation of wealth with out obligation.”
The Zimmers’ March 2023 petition to the court docket echoes the reasoning of those A4V schemes.
“Once we, the petitioners have been born, a Christian title was created that proof that we have been a promised inheritor to the dominion within the kind ‘Assertion of Beginning,’” it reads.
It suggests {that a} “safety instrument” was deposited with the Financial institution of Canada on their behalf after they have been born, and their beginning certificates may very well be used to redeem it after they reached the age of majority.
The Zimmers declare they’ve redeemed their “entitlement certificates” with federal Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, and notified her B.C. counterpart and the lieutenant-governor of their entitlements.
“There was no response,” the petition says, occurring to allege that these authorities officers are “inflicting irreparable hurt” by refusing to acknowledge their tasks.
Listed among the many authorized authorities the Zimmers are counting on to advance these claims is the King James Bible of 1611.
It names numerous officers of the B.C. and Canadian governments as respondents. In dismissing the petition, Weatherill wrote that the Zimmers ought to pay these events their full authorized prices.
Phoney authorized theories primarily based on fanciful interpretations of the legislation well-liked with teams just like the Freemen on the Land have seen a resurgence because the COVID-19 pandemic started. Followers of those concepts have unsuccessfully tried to make use of these theories to argue towards the whole lot from journey restrictions to vaccine mandates.
Simply this month, followers of anti-vaccine activist Daniel Nagase filed right into a Vancouver courtroom and tried to declare themselves a “common-law grand jury beneath the Magna Carta” in Nagase’s $66.6-million lawsuit over the vaccination of his youngsters. An software to dismiss that declare can be heard in August.
