Anyhow, this particular doorhanger was written by one of the class of people I call 'B-Grade Loons' - they don't quite qualify as 'A-Grade Loons' in so far as they apparently function in society to some limited degree.
Obviously, the author is one of that group of people that routinely has problems with authority figures - in this case, particularly law enforcement officials such as judges. The flyer starts off with
"Thousands of people like you have been burned (or screwed, if you like) by police, judges, lawyers, prosecutors or other government employees."It pointed to a couple of websites - the now-defunct 'patriotsonguard.org', and 'exposeacrook.org'. More or less, filled with fairly typical rantings from the same kind of people that claim that Auschwitz never happened, or some such. {In fact, the 'patriots on guard' website was closed down by order of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. (I do note that the 'exposeacrook' site seems to be surprisingly unavailable at the moment - I can hope that it has met a similar fate...if nothing else, by asking for the home addresses of certain law enforcement officials, the site was making veiled threats)
This led me on a rather interesting journey across the web, looking at the seamy white underbelly of these nut-cases. Following the trail of names and associations between them (it's amazing how these clowns quote each other as if they are somehow authorities on these things)
I eventually ran across the 'Detax Canada' website. I'll leave it to you to go read the content of this site - if nothing else, it's a lovely exercise in modern applications of medieval logic - if you can see beyond the obvious ranting going on.
However, my explorations beyond that site, turned up this lovely article in CA magazine. It's rather amusing reading, as it dismantles the Detax Canada arguments rather methodically, with just enough humour to make it enjoyable.
