Real sovereignty does not require a petition. We should see something wrong when "In practice, the conduct of 'Moors' can be nearly identical to that of their white counterparts in the sovereign citizen movement." Looks like we're about to find our how 'sovereign' this group really is...

'Sovereigns' in Black
By Leah Nelson
On March 29, John McGauley, county recorder for Allen County, Ind., came home to find a disturbing message on his answering machine.
"Mr. McGauley, this is Jabbar Gaines-El. I'm calling about your article about the Moorish Americans," it said. "I just wanted to let you know that if you ever have any problem with members of the Moorish Nation, you can call me."
As it happens, McGauley, whose county encompasses the city of Fort Wayne, was having trouble with members of the "Moorish Nation."
Starting in December 2010, nearly a dozen black men had come into his office and recorded bogus documents purporting to change their names, grant themselves "power of attorney general" over themselves, and proclaim their "Unalienable and Substantive Rights to Be, to Enjoy, and to Act, distinct in my aboriginal customs and culture; and determining my own political, social, and economic status of the state."

Some of this article is off base about "fake" MSTA and the sovereignty speak they have coming from white nationalists, not true. I had an uncle that was part of MSTA who did not pay taxes throughout the 70's until this transition a few years ago. These black nationalists did not get the idea from some white folks.
I have uncles who don't pay taxes either, but they aren't a part of a moorish group nor do they care about nationalism, let alone Kmtyw nationalism. :D
But I hear what you're saying though.
