    The Treaty of the Camel's Eye

    I've come across some truly bizarre sovereign citizen/Freemen of the Land stuff before but this one takes the biscuit. Did you know that all international law is based on a treaty signed on 2nd July 408 AD "upon the surrender of the Roman Empire"?

    "If I get rid of the cancer and the person decides they don’t want treatment any more either they’re too busy, or they’re too mean with their money, or they just think they know better the cancer often comes back. And if it comes back, I can’t get rid of it a second time. My healing doesn’t work a second time."

    A quick Google of "Camel's Eye Treaty" brings up a host of weirdo newage nonsense and nothing else. That's hardly conclusive, of course, but I strongly suspect that this is utter tripe from start to finish.

    I think brianp is spot on:

    http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.c...ract_id=964862

    From here you can download a paper on the history of international law - fairly opaque but this caught my eye:

    "Wheaton went on to inform his readership that ‘no professed treatise of international has been left us by any ancient writer.’71 There was, thus, no science of international law. Furthermore, MXV􏰄 IHWLDOH was not truly international law as it was from Roman origin and as it was not based on reciprocity.72"

    Oops, I should have used one or more of these smilies in my OP:

    "If I get rid of the cancer and the person decides they don’t want treatment any more either they’re too busy, or they’re too mean with their money, or they just think they know better the cancer often comes back. And if it comes back, I can’t get rid of it a second time. My healing doesn’t work a second time."

    I hadn't come across this one before, but there's just so much of this shit out there. It's even more evidence to support the idea that you can make up any crap and someone will believe it.

    Anyone can fool some of the people some of the time, but only religion fools most of the people all of the time.

    I think it's wonderful! I think a prize should be awarded to anyone finding an actual, historical fact in the whole piece.

    Reminds me of The Plain Truth magazine of my youth:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Plain_Truth

    Barking mad, and utterly unscrupulous about trifles such as telling the truth. But gloriously, heartliftingly bonkers.

    I must confess, to my shame, that I have a furtive regard for rascals of this sort. They just make life so much richer, dammit!
    The style as we like is the humdrum.
