Nanya appears to be active once more and making an effort at being a Guru while picking fights with other gurus.

So Nanya is running a weekly radio show. The topic for the latest one involves one of his followers asking established Guru Taj Tarik Bey about Nanya and from there it gets stupid. Taj gives a blow-off answer and from there they complain for two hours about how Taj is a fake and Nanya is the real deal because he has liens on the White House.
For those of us concerned about Nanya's well-being he appears to have a roof over his head and internet access once again. However, some of his videos suggest he's off his meds; particularly those where he blames the CIA for interrupting document uploads etc.
What I find amazing is that he's actually found followers and listeners, not many but they still exist. He's even got a female follower to drive up to Canada for advice about random OPCA stuff.

Re: Sean Wesley Henry a.k.a. :Chief :Nanya-Shaabu: E[i]L:
I've checked out Dean Clifford's real estate deal and updated Belanger's videos so now it's Nanya's turn for an update.
When this discussion fizzled out he'd been kicked out of his mother's house as a result of her complaint to authorities that he was abusing her. It seems he got a job with a small casual employment agency called Gateway Staffing'
https://www.google.ca/maps/@53.55168,-1 ... e0!6m1!1e1
Unfortunately he's mad at them because they keep getting his name wrong even though they paid him with cheques that use his fakey name;
https://www.scribd.com/doc/259228035/Ga ... NRY-NOT-ME
https://www.facebook.com/Nanya.Shaabu.E ... gefilter=3
Presumably Gateway found out from the nasty government that Nanya isn't his name, and are now making tax deductions and the like on his 'former' name.
https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hp ... 1498_o.jpg
And it's nice to see Nanya is starting to interact a little with his daughter;
https://www.facebook.com/Nanya.Shaabu.E ... 3313343815
Although she doesn't seem particularly eager to reciprocate.
And the family antic continue. Nanya has the blueprints for Mom's house ... and it looks like he's ramping up to take it back!
https://www.facebook.com/Nanya.Shaabu.E ... gefilter=3
Poor mom. He's still obsessed with her and his evil uncle;
https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php? ... 8841199854
Nanya seems somewhat obsessed by his uncles messy yard. But give him credit, he still goes through life with a big smile on his face;

I know that phone companies have been accused of many evil things over the years, but it would seem that Canadian telephone companies preventing calls from going through are only shooting themselves in the foot. But this is Canada, maybe things are done different there.Sean Wesley Henry wrote:I feel this is a deliberate attempt to stop You and I from Talking.So it is apparent the Canadian Telephone Companies under a Private Agenty request are being told to BLOCK YOU and I from having a conversation.
And what is a Private Agenty?
Wow? Genocide? Really? Preventing a phone call is genocide? Sean must live in a very, very strict environment. What about a person who fails to clean his or her plate at dinner? A serial killer?If I do not hear from you by Friday, I will Discuss this fact that this is Genocide on My weekly address..
Uh...someone needs to explain to Sean it was a very bad mistake on his part to file his daughter's name with the United Nations, given that the UN is being accused every day by sovruns of preparing their own form of genocide.Your name is on file with the Unjited Nations DOCIP as Indigenous, this will prove the Genocide being committed against My Family and attempt to block me from Speaking to my Indigenous Daughte...

Re: Sean Wesley Henry a.k.a. :Chief :Nanya-Shaabu: E[i]L:
One thing I need to point out about my last posting. It relates to the envelope that Nanya marked "Return To Sender Refused for Cause Without Dishonor". Don't go thinking that he is so committed to his beliefs that he indignantly returned an uncashed paycheck because was not in his preferred name. He may be insane but he's not stupid!
At the end of every calendar year Canadian employers are required to send anyone who worked for them during the year a standard Canada Revenue Agency information form called a T4 Slip. This has boxes which the employer fills with information about the employees gross earnings, deductions, contributions, union dues etc. The information on the slip is used by the employee to file his tax return. You can see a blank copy of a T4 here;
http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/E/pbg/tf/t4/t4flat-14b.pdf
Check the picture of the T4 slip I've linked to against the bit of the document showing through the window in the envelope. Nanya sent back his T4 slip. He probably had the brilliant idea that this would keep the CRA from finding out about his income. The problem is that the employer is required to prepare two T4 slips. The second is sent directly to the CRA. The CRA checks these against filed returns to ensure all income is reported. So Nanya's T4 will not match a filed return. In any case the employer is required to take off taxes at source so Nanya has already paid them by the time he gets his net paycheck. The CRA will probably not bother to go after him since they already have his taxes.

US procedure is similar, and our SovCits also send back mail (sometimes unopened) with this scrawled across it. The courts have taken to treating this as proof that the envelope was delivered at the right address and attributing to the SovCit knowledge of its contents (even if it was returned still sealed) - so that he had notification of various pleadings, court orders, and other papers of legal significance.

Re: Sean Wesley Henry a.k.a. :Chief :Nanya-Shaabu: E[i]L:
It's about time for an update on Nanya. When we last checked in on him in 2015 he was facing hard times. All of his court cases in shambles, kicked out of his mother's house because of parental abuse and with a court order requiring him to keep his distance from her, and more importantly her home. He'd apparently hit bottom. He was looking decidedly glum in a contemporaneous photo;
But he's pulled himself back from the vale of despondancy. He's abandoned that dour sadsack in black and found a spiffy new identity as a resplendant leader in white with fabulous headgear to match!
https://www.facebook.com/Chief-Nanya-Sh ... ?ref=br_tf
When I last posted on him I was only aware that he owned Turtle Island which was comprised of Canada and the United States. It turns out that I missed his ownership of Great Britain!
https://sites.google.com/site/authenticexport/10
That has to be legit, it has gold seals and his own personalized stamp. Not his best photo though, he looks a bit crazed. Wonder if the Queen knows that she's been deposed by Nanya-Shaabu:El the Plenipotentiary of Albion, Atlan, Amexem, Turtle Island, Land of the Frogs, Egypt of the West.
This is Amexem;
So it's beginning to look like Nanya snaffed everything while I was distracted by my Poriskyites.
He's also started some new action against the US government;
https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/ ... e=59C663C5
And even stolen a riff from President Trump!

No, it might have had a chance of being legit, but he made a mind-boggling error. Did you not notice the words "In accord with..." and the list of all those governing bodies, not to mention the insidious UCC? Once endorsing that, he might as well shown up naked and shackled in front of the NWO HQ and told the people inside to do as they please with him. After all, what self-respecting plenipotentiary is going to subject himself to the UCC?Burnaby49 wrote:That has to be legit, it has gold seals and his own personalized stamp.
And Sean was so close to freedom, he probably could have tasted it. I mean, he showed particular insight into knowing that he had to include "quantum claims" on that document. Not even the UCC has language to interfere with that.

At-sik-hata Nation of Yamassee-Moors
I just recently found out about this group, although they've been around for at least ten years. Anybody else heard of them? They're based out of Edmonton from what I can tell. They have a youtube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8jRhO ... w/featured
a web page:
https://indigenous9.tripod.com/index.html
and of course a facebook page, featuring the chief himself:
and here's an old document from the chief:
Anyways, I became aware of them since the document above was recently featured by one of the more prominent right wing Alberta wexiteers.

Re: At-sik-hata Nation of Yamassee-Moors
Anybody else ever heard of them? Nanya's been one for my favorite nutcases for almost a decade. we have an extensive discussion on him.
viewtopic.php?f=48&t=9474
One of my favorite sovereign videos is of the momentous summit meeting between Nanya and Paraclete Belanger in the food court of the West Edmonton Mall. Both babbling gibberish at each other in a perfectly amicable manner, professional to professional. A classic.

Re: At-sik-hata Nation of Yamassee-Moors
My apologies, the name sounded faintly familiar, but the Quatloos discussion of him was ending just as I arrived here. Anyways, somehow the fake tribe has become associated with the more extreme right wing views here in Alberta - some sort of complex notion involving UNDRIP and race replacement conspiracy theory. I don't really understand it but somehow somebody thinks that it's important that I should know and march in the streets about it while complaining about having to wear masks and why I can't play hockey.

Nanya was always big on UNIDRIP and race replacement theory, he just hadn't as yet gotten any traction on either when we stopped following him. Apparently Covid has given him an opening. He hasn't changed but the times have.

To the mods: sure, merge the threads.
Anyways, Pat King is the big man in the yellow vest patriot group in Alberta, and is a major player in the right wing movement in Canada. One of the co-founders of Wexit, a group pushing for the separation of Alberta from the rest of Canada. If there is some sort of right wing demonstration in Canada you can expect him to be there. Here's just a few google hits on him from reputable groups:
https://www.antihate.ca/wexit_co_founde ... onstrators
I haven't mentioned him except in passing where his activities have coincided with the unifythepeople.ca group who have their own thread on quatloos. So far, until this was posted he didn't seem to have any of the usual OPCA attributes:

I am from the Lower 48, but I do pay more attention to goings-on in Canada than most of my fellow countrymen. I'm pleased to be in the 53% that is aware that Canada is actually a separate country, part of the 48% that can locate Canada on a map, and part of the 11% of Americans that can name all the provinces and territories of Canada. I actually interact frequently with a number of colleagues in Montreal, so it's not just theoretical knowledge of Canada here.
But I must admit that the "Wexit" Albertan secessionist movement is a new one on me. What on Earth would be the justification for Alberta seceding from the rest of Canada? Are they feeling slighted because Saskatchewan gets more fashionable toques? Or because BC has better weather and easier access to Burnaby49's pub crawling expertise? One can easily understand the Quebecois secessionist idea but... Alberta?

As best as I can figure, "Wexit" is a movement of soreheads who are upset because the gummint woan' let them do what they wanna do, an' is tryina make them do what they doan' wanna do, which is wrong cuz its a free country an' no one is the bossa them.

Re: Sean Wesley Henry a.k.a. :Chief :Nanya-Shaabu: E[i]L:
OK, a short primer on the Wexit movement. Wexit = Western Exit. The concept has been around for a good hundred years or so but is based on the idea that Alberta, and various other yet to be defined portions of Western Canada would be better off on their own. The idea never really gained any traction until a few years ago when Pat King and Peter Downing formed a political party. As the party went more mainstream Pat King was pushed out because of his extreme right wing, almost neo-nazi views. A few months ago, Peter Downing also left because he was viewed as a political liability. Their basic political philosophy is that Western Canada deserves a better deal from Canada, both economically and political. However they have gathered up more than their fair share of extreme right wing fanatics and grudge holding types who have a pie in the sky belief that with Alberta separation oil will somehow go back to $100 bbl, grain will go to $30 bushel, and pipelines everywhere.

Re: Sean Wesley Henry a.k.a. :Chief :Nanya-Shaabu: E[i]L:
Western secession, particularly Alberta secession, is a far more respectable concept than a few nutcases. Actually Alberta has a lot of valid complaints about their treatment as a province. No doubt eric can give a much more comprehensive explanation but the main grievance is oil and gas. That's the core of Alberta's economy, at least it has been for the last 50 years.
Western Canada doesn't count for much politically, most federal elections are determined in Ontario and Quebec who, between them hold well over half of Canada's population. So politicians, the liberal party in particular, pander to those two provinces at the expense of the west. Pierre Trudeau, our current prime minister’s father, was from Quebec and actually seemed to disdain western Canada, his focus was entirely on Quebec and Ontario. During the oil crisis of the 1970’s prices skyrocketed but Alberta, with an oil-based economy, didn’t benefit because Pierre screwed them. He implemented the NEP (National Energy Program) which would have been more appropriately named the Fuck Alberta Program because its purpose was to benefit Ontario and Quebec by screwing the west, particularly Alberta.
The NEP also had a provision did it’s best to see that Alberta didn’t benefit financially from oil. It stripped Alberta of ‘excess’ earnings and gave them to Quebec;
This pretty much permanently alientated Albertans from the federal liberal party, not that Trudeau cared. Trudeau was able to do this because, while oil is a provincial resource so Alberta got the royalties from it, the federal government has legislative power over things like energy development and environmental issues.
In addition, prior to all this, Trudeau had legislated Equalization payments, which while a national program, turned out to be yet another way to siphon off Alberta’s revenues largely for Quebec’s benefit.
Justin, Pierre’s son, and our current prime minister (hey, we have our Kennedy's too) is screwing Alberta for different reasons. He’s an ardent environmentalist and Alberta oil has become his main target. It’s largely derived from tar sands, a very heavy crude that has to be extracted from soil. This is a very energy intense process and creates huge quantities of atmospheric carbon that Trudeau wants eliminated. He recently set up very ambitious environmental goals that can only be reached, if attainable at all, by essentially shutting down the tar sand industry.
I won’t even get into the problems of a shortage of pipelines to get the stuff out of Alberta, another major issue which has soured relations between Alberta and British Columbia, the natural pipeline route out. However the Alberta oil industry is being strangled by that one too.
So, overall, the Alberta independence movement, while much more an expression of resentment than a serious threat, encompasses far more that the normal sovereign suspects. I have no idea if independence would, on balance, harm or help the province but these things tend to be as emotional as economic an there’s a lot of anti-federal resentment in Alberta.

Pierre Trudeau, our current prime minister’s father, was from Quebec and actually seemed to disdain western Canada, his focus was entirely on Quebec and Ontario. During the oil crisis of the 1970’s prices skyrocketed but Alberta, with an oil-based economy, didn’t benefit because Pierre screwed them. He implemented the NEP (National Energy Program) which would have been more appropriately named the Fuck Alberta Program because its purpose was to benefit Ontario and Quebec by screwing the west, particularly Alberta.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Energy_ProgramThe National Energy Program (NEP) was an energy policy of the Canadian federal government from 1980 to 1985. Created under the Liberal government of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau by Energy Minister Marc Lalonde in 1980, the program was administered by the Department of Energy, Mines and Resources. Introduced following the oil crises and stagflation of the 1970s, the NEP proved to be a highly controversial policy initiative that pitted economic nationalism and federal aspirations of energy self-sufficiency against provincial jurisdiction with hundreds of billions of dollars in oil revenue at stake. The result was a dispute that sparked intense opposition and anger in Canada's West, particularly in Alberta, and the rise of the Reform Party, a development that would shape Canadian politics for years to come.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
A National Post journalist, Jen Gerson, later stated that "the NEP was considered by Albertans to be among the most unfair federal policies ever implemented. Scholars calculated the program cost Alberta between $50 and $100 billion." Alberta still initially enjoyed an economic surplus due to high oil prices, but the surplus was heavily reduced by the NEP, which, in turn, stymied many of Lougheed's policies for economic diversification to reduce Alberta's dependence on the cyclical energy industry, such as the Alberta Heritage Savings Trust Fund, and also left the province with an infrastructure deficit. In particular, the Alberta Heritage Fund was meant to save as much of the earnings during high oil prices to act as a "rainy day" cushion if oil prices collapsed because of the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry. The NEP was one reason that the fund failed to grow to its full potential.[21]
The NEP also had a provision did it’s best to see that Alberta didn’t benefit financially from oil. It stripped Alberta of ‘excess’ earnings and gave them to Quebec;
Provincial per capita federal contributions
In inflation-adjusted 2004 dollars, the year the NEP took effect (1980) per capita had fiscal contributions by Alberta to the federal government increase 77% over 1979 levels from $6,578 in 1979 to $11,641 in 1980.[39]:11 In the five years prior to the NEP (1975–1979), the per capita contributions by Alberta had approximated the fluctuations in the price of oil (see graph Fluctuations: Oil Prices & Alberta Per Capita Federal Contributions 1975-1981). In 1980, however, the inflation-adjusted average price of oil was only 5% higher than the previous year, but the per capita contributions from Alberta rose 77%[39] (see graph Fluctuations: Oil Prices & Alberta Per Capita Federal Contributions 1975-1981). Again in inflation-adjusted 2004 dollars, the year the NEP was terminated (1986) had per capita contributions to the federal government by Alberta collapse to $680, a mere 10% of 1979 levels.[39]
During the NEP years (1980–1985), only one other province was a net contributor per capita to the federal government: Saskatchewan, which also produces oil. In 1980 and 1981, Saskatchewan was a net per capita contributor to the federal government with a peak in 1981 at only $514, compared to Alberta's peak of $12,735 the same year, both values being 2004 inflation-adjusted dollars.[39] Thus, during the NEP (1980 to 1985), Alberta was the sole overall net contributor to the federal government, and all other provinces enjoyed being net recipients.[39]
This pretty much permanently alientated Albertans from the federal liberal party, not that Trudeau cared. Trudeau was able to do this because, while oil is a provincial resource so Alberta got the royalties from it, the federal government has legislative power over things like energy development and environmental issues.
In addition, prior to all this, Trudeau had legislated Equalization payments, which while a national program, turned out to be yet another way to siphon off Alberta’s revenues largely for Quebec’s benefit.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equalizat ... _in_CanadaEqualization payments are based on a formula that calculates the difference between the per capita revenue yield that a particular province would obtain using average tax rates and the national average per capita revenue yield at average tax rates. The current formula considers five major revenue sources (see below). The objective of the program is to ensure that all provinces have access to per capita revenues equal to the potential average of all ten provinces. The formula is based solely on revenues and does not consider the cost of providing services or the expenditure need of the provinces.
Equalization payments do not involve wealthy provinces making direct payments to poor provinces as the money comes from the federal treasury. As an example, a wealthy citizen in Quebec, a so-called "have not" province, pays more tax into the federal system and funds more equalization than a poorer citizen in Alberta that pays less federal tax, a so-called "have" province. However, because of Alberta's greater population and wealth, the citizens of Alberta as a whole are net contributors to equalization, while the government of New Brunswick, therefore the citizens, are net receivers of equalization payments.
Justin, Pierre’s son, and our current prime minister (hey, we have our Kennedy's too) is screwing Alberta for different reasons. He’s an ardent environmentalist and Alberta oil has become his main target. It’s largely derived from tar sands, a very heavy crude that has to be extracted from soil. This is a very energy intense process and creates huge quantities of atmospheric carbon that Trudeau wants eliminated. He recently set up very ambitious environmental goals that can only be reached, if attainable at all, by essentially shutting down the tar sand industry.
I won’t even get into the problems of a shortage of pipelines to get the stuff out of Alberta, another major issue which has soured relations between Alberta and British Columbia, the natural pipeline route out. However the Alberta oil industry is being strangled by that one too.
So, overall, the Alberta independence movement, while much more an expression of resentment than a serious threat, encompasses far more that the normal sovereign suspects. I have no idea if independence would, on balance, harm or help the province but these things tend to be as emotional as economic an there’s a lot of anti-federal resentment in Alberta.
