BJW explains why he has “never truly lost” any of his cases

Posted on his Facebook page.

>The reason why i can never lose is because you can never break my spirit. Because i have the spirit of an American.

>If i never give up, i never truly lose. This is how i sustain the court defeats that i do.

>To me I've never truly lost. I've simply learned valuable lessons that advance my skills into the next case.

>When i sued AMEX, they say i supposedly owed them $177k. They have never attempted to collect on that and we have a currently active appeal in the 9th Circuit that i am awaiting to move to the next step with (which I'm hoping is oral argument).

>The SBA case i lost, then i lost the appeal, then my writ of certiorari was denied. I "allegedly" owe them $198k. You don't see anyone knocking on my door attempting to collect that.

>Less than 1% of all attorneys ever file a writ of certiorari into the US Supreme Court in their entire careers. My first time up to bat was decent, but now i have enough info to do a full timeline breakdown, with exact case law, to prove the birth of the 14th Amendment class.

>I just lost my City of Glendale case to a demurrer. Some people clap in joy. To me, all i see is an opportunity to learn my State appellate process and possibly the Supreme Court process.

>I'm well on my way to being able to comfortably operate in Federal and State courts, appeals and the various Supreme Courts. The percentage of lawyers that can do that is probably less than a tenth of a percent.

>You may say "well yeah but they can win cases." Fine, but I'm sure if i wanted to ride the elevator down 700 floors and file something like a personal injury case, i could probably win pretty easily. Or i could do a credit repair case with Joey Kimbrough and probably win one of those very easily. I know that.

>So why do i torture myself?

>You see me sue governments and massive corporations and i have never had even a single word of discovery issued on me. I've never been sanctioned. I've never been countersued.

>The reason i torture myself is because getting in the ring with the biggest, nastiest opponents has allowed me to grow at break-neck speeds.

>With zero formal training, i have my own law firm charging top-tier 40-year attorney hourly rates... all within 2.5 years of filing my first case. This is mathematically impossible.

>Oh no it's not. Not when you truly feel the spirit of America and you lunge at the biggest and meanest persons in the room.

>I cannot be charged, i cannot be sanctioned. I cannot be defeated. It is simply more growth each time i fall down. Then i dust myself off, learn, and move forward.

>I'm preparing to move the City of Glendale State case into appeals. I'm taking a little time off before i do but the process is going to be very slow. Once i file the notice of appeal into the case, it will most likely take months before my opening brief will be due. The opening brief will be quite a lot of work... similar to my writ of certiorari.

>I'm more than happy to do it. Because pushing myself this hard is what has allowed me to grow so fast.

>Then, with the new Federal case... if it is somehow dismissed, the 9th Circuit makes it incredibly easy to file an appeal with them. I personally find it amazing how they not only have a simple form for pro se litigants but they also have a very simple and very nice online submission portal. That appeal will be very easy to whip up.

>And so we continue on our journey. A journey that has ONLY ONE EVENTUAL OUTCOME...

>And that outcome is that these government corporations will bow before the law. They will kneel before the commercial codes and they will no longer operate as rogue agencies that believe that they can simply do whatever they want without repercussions.

>They tell us that we must follow the law while they tell us how we can pay and what kinds of notes and drafts we must use.

>They are insane and they are off their leashes. This ends when they respect the law and bow before it. And we will not stop until they do.

I've only been donating for 50 years.

I just discovered this sub. So glad to see it.

In 1975, I went out from my office for lunch and saw a BloodMobile. I dared myself to go in. And that was it. Here are some assorted anecdotes:

Back in the day, it was a three-year deferment if you traveled to a malaria area. I did a lot of travel to really off-the-beaten-track places and fell off the blood bank database. After I finally was able to donate again, I got a letter a couple of days later. I was scared to open it. What did they find?!

When I finally opened it, it said "Welcome new donor!" I called them & said "For heaven's sake, put that on the outside of the envelope!"

I have really good veins. When I was doing whole blood, I used to track my time. My personal best was 4:30. I almost never went over 5 minutes.

Then, they did some additional testing. "You are CMV negative. We'd like you to switch to platelets." So I did. And I go in every three weeks now.

I was wearing a 10-gallon donor shirt when a man in scrubs came up to me in a supermarket. "Have you really donated that much?" "Actually, quite a bit more." "Thank you! I'm a surgeon. Blood is one of the most important things."

A few years later, my spouse had a bleeding ulcer that suddenly blew into an artery. Luckily, it happened while my spouse was hospitalized in ICU. Staff went into crisis mode. Believe me, you do not want to get a call from a hospital social worker saying "You need to return to the hospital NOW." When I got there, my spouse was in surgery and the principal doctor was writing up a report. Well, he was trying to write a report. His hands were shaking so hard, he couldn't write.

The nurses told me that as soon as it happened, the doctor turned to ice. Delivering clear, concise orders. And, of course, many orders were for blood. One nurse described how she sat under my spouse's bed, squeezing bags of blood. He made it, after getting 12 units of blood in less than 24 hours.

All in all, a dozen people saved his life by being blood donors.

I donate now because it's payback time.

Bad experiences?

I had donated a double units of platelets. That afternoon, I stupidly didn't use the guard on a mandolin slicer. I wrapped up my finger & headed for the ER. Problem was, since I was so low on platelets, my blood wouldn't clot. By the time I checked in, blood was running down my arm. That got me seen immediately. The doctor had to put a tourniquet on my finger in order to stitch me up.

Another time, just as the nurse was inserting the needle, the guy next to me fainted and someone called her name.She whipped the needle through the vein. I wound up with a golfball-sized hematoma.

And I still donate. Twelve people saved my spouse's life. I can never repay that enough.

My blood bank recently offered a customized T-shirt. "I donate for [insert reason here]." I got one honoring my spouse.

When I talk to people abut donating, I talk about whole blood. "What else can you do that takes about an hour, has a whole bunch of people constantly telling you how wonderful you are, gets your free food, and—when you leave, you flat out know you saved someone's life."

BJW updates his court cases

>Small claims case was dismissed. No reasoning given orally during the hearing and none given in final order.

>My State case with Mr. Tavelman is also about to be dismissed, but i had an amazing conversation with the Judge in preparation for appeals.

>I do believe I'm going to be able to get an audio file for the small claims case as well as a written transcript for this morning's hearing.

>It was amazing and I'm very excited to move forward with the appeal and then also with the new Federal case. Both the State case and the Federal case will go to their respective Supreme Courts, as needed, to get the City of Glendale to comply with the laws regarding notes and drafts.

Your professional court-related needs are now satisfied - The Erwin Rommel School of Law is back!

Pseudolaw “law schools” always intrigue me. Why would you trust an "institution" that places itself outside the legal norms?

Awhile ago my favourite, the "Erwin Rommel School of Law" which had run since the 1970s disappeared. Yes, that Rommel.

But it's back! Still run by Michael Halsey Brown, though now he has a number of collaborators. Of course, you want to visit.

Why Rommel? “Rommel accomplished more with less than anybody in the 20th century.”

I often used the ERSOL website when conducting educational sessions, it inevitably sent judges howling with laughter. Thus, I was saddened when the ERSOL disappeared offline something like four or five years ago. At that time you could purchase Brown’s entire library of resources, “The Whole Nine Yards”, for a modest $1,499. Well, the price has dropped to a mere $750, all on a convenient USB Flash Drive and “professionally organized”.

I’ve never purchased the package so I can’t comment on the details. It’s a little surprising how Brown’s key materials never ended up on Scribd or other public sites, at least that I noticed. My quick search today did however locate his 1974 text “Iron Claws: Grip Development and Bench Press Course”. No law stuff that after a quick scan. Here you go, you curious ones.

Brown describes himself as a “modern renaissance man”, and an incomplete list of his publications nails the point with a dagger. Where does one start?

  •  “Brown’s Book of Carburetors”
  • “The Case for Polygamy” (oh, look what the alpha male has to say)
  • “The Erwin Rommel School of Law – How to Defeat an Illegal Legal System” (with macramé – duh)
  • “Suppressed Inventions & How They Work” (quietly, they’re suppressed)
  • “Sex, Money and Power: The Bible Shows You How”

Anyways, back to Brown’s pseudolaw texts. Is it incongruous that the cover art for “How to Defeat an Illegal Legal System” illustrates some kind of M4 Sherman? Just saying. You’d think Erwin would prefer a Panther.

Or a StuG. More than a little partial to those, myself. Nasty functional looking things.

BJW has a new template you can use to pay your bills with a promissory note (negotiable instrument).

Template

The promissory note is being issued by your all-caps strawman, who is an artificial person and citizen of the US. Your lower-case name, a white citizen of your state, is merely acting as the agent for the strawman. The creditor supposedly can take the letter to the bank and trade it to them for money. The bank then collects from the Federal Reserve. Or something like that.

The template also says that if you the creditor refuse to accept the note, you will be sued. BJW has already said that’s his plan. Each time Glendale sends a utility bill, he will send this letter. Then, if the City refuses to accept it, it’s off to court again.

P.S. still nothing from him about the Aug. 10 court hearing.

Current wildfires aren’t being caused by Jewish space lasers. It’s helicopters.

From a Facebook post by a devoted follower of Queen Romana. Her Royal Majesty has maintained for years that wildfires are deliberately caused by the Bad Guys.

There was a tragic crash of a firefighting helicopter in Utah. It’s the kind that sucks up water from a lake or river. See photo in this story

She posted a photo on her FB page with this comment:

>What kind of chopper does this look like to you??!! It sure does NOT look like it would carry much water but it could gasoline!

Rolling Stone reporting on HRM Queen Romana Didulo and her history and activities

Rolling Stone magazine has published a retrospective of the activities of HRM Roman Didulo, Queen of Canada:

Fair notice, I'm quoted a couple times. The article tracks HRM Didulo's activities chronologically. Probably useful as an introduction. But also there's not a lot here that is new.

I personally instead recommend the article by Christine Sarteschi and Master's thesis by Camden MacKenzie for those who want a detailed and referenced examination of Our Dear Arcturian Queen.

I also think it's appropriate that I mention certain issues I identified with the Rolling Stone publication.

The author repeats that HRM Didulo had 70K Telegram subscribers. That figure appears accurate, but subsequent investigation strongly suggests Romana purchased subscribers to inflate her apparent online popularity. To be fair, many observers fell for this trick.

The author does not appear be well informed in legal/government matters, even simple ones. He refers to “provincial parliaments”. The correct term for elected provincial bodies in Canada is “legislatures”. Parliament is the Canada-wide elected body that governs the federal government. A related misconception is that Richmound, the location where Didulo set up shop in a surplus former school, is a “village” rather than a municipality, which limited the authority of its occupants to self-administer. That was a major cause of why Richmound had to rely on outside agencies to address the Kingdom of Canada. Those outside agencies were not effective, no denying that.

There are other points where this article seems to be inconsistent with my understanding of events and how court proceedings occur. At one point the author mentioned that assault charges on law enforcement against ex-school owner “His Excellence” Ricky Manz were “dismissed”. My suspicion is the correct term is “stayed”. Dismissed means a criminal proceeding went to court, and a judge rejected the prosecution on some basis. A trial of Manz would have almost certainly drawn much public attention and from the Diduloids themselves. Heck, I might have shown up.

Similarly, the article states Manz and Didulo were charged with intimidation of justice system participants (Criminal Code s 423.1) and implies that relates to physical altercations. That is incorrect, having reviewed the proceedings its clear the charges resulted from vigilante court proceedings by Manz in Didulo’s self-proclaimed “Natural Law” court. A related point where I suspect the Rolling Stone is imprecise is the article describes threatening letters from “The Kingdom of Canada”. There definitely was threatening correspondence directed to people in Richmound, but the source of that correspondence were probably Didulo’s followers, not Didulo herself. That was one of the reasons why law enforcement had difficulty in responding. Didulo probably was using her followers as anonymous arms-length proxy actors.

There are other points where the article appears to exaggerate goings-on. For example, the RCMP ultimately entered into and cleared the decommissioned school. The article describes that living conditions inside were so filthy and foul that police were nauseated. Perhaps true, but online videos of new recruits into the Kingdom of Canada inside the former school did not indicate that. They seemed comfortable, even eating meals provided by the Queen and her inner cadre. To be fair, maybe conditions got worse near the end of the school occupation.

The article states the auditorium was used as a courtroom. Videos I have seen do show that area as a ceremonial space, but I am unaware of any evidence that actual vigilante legal proceedings were ever conducted, nor any judgment or sentence decisions, only documents that started vigilante proceedings.

Then there are several statement that I conclude are simply false. Rolling Stone states Richmound’s residents open carried firearms while the Diduloids were in town. That is extremely unlikely. In Canada firearms are very closely and strictly restricted. The Diduloids were video recording everything. If they observed persons whom they perceived as enemies and threats visibly displaying firearms, that would have been transmitted to law enforcement, and police action would have followed. This statement is dubious, and at best an exaggeration.

The article describes how the occupation of the Richmound ex-school ended, and along with police storming the facility includes this dramatic statement: “Drones smashed windows to clear the way.” I am highly skeptical of this claim. I would not be startled if the RCMP deployed drones at a high altitude to monitor the Richmound school before entry. But the idea of drones “smashing windows” fails to understand that drones are by their nature physically light. Furthermore, Canadian judges are adverse to permitting “hard entries” into a residence during hours when persons are likely to be asleep. The idea a judge would permit drones ramming in through windows is very, very strange. Entry warrants into a dwelling space require details. And anyways, what is the purpose of drones “smashing windows to clear the way”? What happened next? RCMP officers with jetpacks roared through the gap? This was a one-story building! This statement leads me to question the credibility of this report.

So I suggest exercising caution with this article. Much does match published narratives and reports elsewhere. But I have a hard time avoiding a conclusion that the author “sexed up” the story to attract reader interest and attention.

Yeah, I’m aware Rolling Stone is not an academic journal. But there’s enough questionable stuff circulating around Didulo as it is.

For what it’s worth.

Planning a trip to the Bay Area? Upcoming Carquinez Bridge closures.

The Carquinez Bridge is the I-80 bridge between Vallejo and Crockett. It's actually two bridges, the westbound Al Zampa Memorial Bridge and the eastbound Carquinez Bridge. Caltrans is doing major work on the Al Zampa Bridge.

A major Bay Area bridge closure is coming. Here's when drivers will be affected

>One lane of the westbound bridge, which is a parallel span to the eastbound Carquinez Bridge, is set to be closed from 6 p.m. Friday to 7 p.m. Saturday in preparation for a full deck replacement, according to the California Department of Transportation. A full closure of the bridge is scheduled for 53 hours, starting at 10 p.m. on Aug. 21 and ending at 3 a.m. on Aug. 24.

>During the full closure in late August, drivers will have several detour options. Caltrans said South Vallejo and Carquinez Heights traffic should exit at Sonoma Boulevard, and that westbound traffic after Exit 40 should take Exit 30A onto Interstate 780 eastbound before going on Interstate 680 southbound and taking westbound Highway 4.

Detour map for the full closure and Detour map if you are coming from Sac. Caltrans is sending you through Martinez. Alternatives might be AMTRAK or the Vallejo Ferry.

BJW has a couple of hearings coming up on his Glendale case. You are invited.

If you don’t know who he is—Brandon Joe Williams is a perennial favorite on this sub. He fancies himself the world’s greatest legal scholar. Among other things, he has discovered that while people cannot be US citizens.

Like many SovCits, he believes the US goveryset up a secret trust fund tied to his birth certificate. He is on his third round of suing the City of Glendale Los Angeles area) because it won’t allow him to pay his utility bill with a “negotiable instrument” that taps into that secret fund.

The judge in this case said that BJW’s complaint wasn’t valid, but allowed him to amend it. The amendment is his usual incomprehensible stuff. The attorney filed a demurrer on the amendment. That’s a filing that says “judge, you outta dismiss this whole thing because he makes no valid legal arguments.”

BJW responded, among other things accusing the attorney of perjury and treason, and including a whole section about money and whatnot, to educate the judge. BJW also filed a complaint against the attorney with the California Bar Association.

Under California law, when a demurrer is filed, the parties must first “meet and confer” to try to come to a solution, and to discuss what the trial might look like. Afterwards, there are two formal hearings.

The conference and the hearing are now scheduled. He has invited his followers to the conference (I am not sure if outsiders are allowed.). It should be a real treat. I don’t envy the court staff who may be there.

>Hearing 1:

>Type: Case Management Meeting. This is to go over with the judge any settlements you might have reached and what you think will happen at the trial: when will you be ready for the trial, what witnesses you might call. I’m pretty sure BJW has requested a jury trial.

>When: Tuesday 8/4/26 at 9 am

>Hearing 2:

>Type: Hearing for Defendant’s Motion to Demurrer on Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint

>When: Friday 8/14/26 at 9 am

Am I missing something or is this instruction on greens prep incomplete?

Knife Skills: How to Cut Swiss Chard and Other Braising Greens

>...[In] most cases, you'll want to separate the stalks from the stems before you cook them. The stalks are thicker, so they take longer to cook, particularly for fast cooking recipes where the leaves wilt and cook in a matter of seconds (depending on how you like the finished texture, this matter less for longer braises).

>Once you know how to separate stalk from stem, prepping greens is a simple affair.

But I don't see any info on how to do that separation. I've got some lovely rainbow chard. I can chop out the stems, but I'd love to know if there is a better way.
