It seems to be based on these lines in the article and the presumed belief that Trump would become the 19th President of the "original republic". So it's some combination of Q and Sovereign Citizen stuff.I suspect it's the Vice.com reporter evidencing carelessness. Doesn't seem to be a quote.
Um. Was there an 1871 law about something ?It seems to be based on these lines in the article and the presumed belief that Trump would become the 19th President of the "original republic". So it's some combination of Q and Sovereign Citizen stuff.
"Sovereign citizens believe that a law enacted in 1871 secretly turned the U.S. into a corporation and did away with the American government of the founding fathers.
....
The source for this date is the fact that 1933 was also the year when inaugurations were changed from March 4 to Jan. 20 — to shorten the lame-duck period of outgoing presidents. QAnon followers believe that Trump will become the president of the original republic, and not the corporation that they believe the 1871 act created. "
Um. Was there an 1871 law about something ?
[The District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871] served as the basis of conspiracy theories relating to the sovereign citizen movement. According to these, the Act would have made the District, and consequently the whole United States, into a corporation. There is no evidence for these claims, which stem from a misinterpretation of the meaning of the term municipal corporation used in the Act. The vocabulary used has in fact a wider meaning here, and refers to any group authorized to legally act as a single entity (in this case, an incorporated, organized district of the United States).
This was later revived by supporters of the QAnon conspiracy theory to falsely claim that former president Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 19th president of the original United States on March 4, 2021. This date corresponds to the original presidential inauguration, before it was moved to January 20 by the Twentieth Amendment (signed in 1933, 62 years after the Act, and thus - falsely - claimed to be invalid).
Blimey it's bad enough reading that thread and those things are "once removed" from the person spouting them. Crazy stuff. How dreadful for people that it rips their families apart.The Reddit 'Q-Anon Casualties' thread makes for sobering reading (I lurk there only).
Interesting speculation here, on behalf of a reasonably informed commentator:
Its March 4th, the day Qanon thought Trump would be inaugurated as the 19th President.
Is Biden using green screen? That's what Trumpers and QAnon fans ask themselves after an interview video vent viral
Notice the large microphone and Biden's hand.
That's right. It's the mics that are using the green screen to look like they're with Biden.You can't use a green screen technique (by itself) to insert something in front of (in the foreground relative to) the focal figure.
He's hiding that he's a Reptilian?That's right. It's the mics that are using the green screen to look like they're with Biden.
But seriously, what if he was? Why would he, and what would it prove?

It's an interesting business when you state particular dates isn't it. At what point do believers give it all up as a bad job? And as you say, how do they explain it to themselves? I read a book on the subject once... When Prophecy Fails https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_Prophecy_Failswhen it obviously doesnt happen
Apparently according to the experience with many sects, they don't give it up. There's always a reason within their psychosis that it didn't happen. Does anyone know what the reason was this time?It's an interesting business when you state particular dates isn't it. At what point do believers give it all up as a bad job?
