Thanks for all the follow-up @mountaineer. I’ve been a bit detached from the news but I am sure the MSM is breathlessly covering this story.

A refusal to acknowledge US laws, belief in UFOs and selling fake passports to pay for their abandoned house HQ: The inside story of the 'Rise of the Moors' militia who hit the headlines after stand-off with Massachusetts cops

    11 'armed and dangerous' men who claimed to be part of an extremist group known as 'Rise of the Moors' were taken into custody on Saturday outside Boston
    The men were arrested after an nine-hour standoff with Massachusetts police
    They claimed to be part of 'a militia' group based in Pawtucket, Rhode Island that does 'does not recognize' US laws
    Rise of the Moors are an offshoot a rapidly growing, larger antigovernment group known as 'Moorish sovereign citizens' that began in the late 1990s
    They believe that a bogus US treaty with Morocco from 1787 allows them to belong to their own sovereign nation and therefore not subject to any US laws
    They also claim that its followers are the 'aboriginal people' of the US
    The group takes its teachings partly from a religious sect known as the Moorish Science Temple founded by Noble Drew Ali, dating back to 1913
    Rise of the Moors have a large social media presence, with more than 17,000 subscribers to the group's YouTube channel
