==Pseudolaw galore==
===International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State===
{{cquote|Our Mandate: (1) To lawfully prosecute those people and institutions responsible for the exploitation, trafficking, torture and murder of children, past and present, and (2) To stop these and other criminal actions by church and state, including by disestablishing those same institutions.|||Kevin Annett playing one-man Russian roulette with "international litigation" loaded in the chamber<ref>[https://archive.ph/Lnhuf Welcome to ITCCS.ORG and The International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State]. Archived from itccs.org, 22 November 2018.</ref>}}

The '''International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State''' or '''ITCCS''' (allegedly est. on June 15, 2010)<ref>[https://archive.is/Lnhuf Horribly pixelated banner on the now dead ITCCS Official webpage]</ref> is a blog in which Annet pretends to be a tribunal established to enforce common law. With the ITCCS, Annett attempts to mimic genuine international organisations, and is actually good enough at this to have fooled a few normal people (and a lot of raving conspiracy-prone nutters) into thinking there's anything at all to this. He produces very nicely-formatted, official-looking documents and everything.<ref name=francis-warrant>[https://archive.ph/6d3WA International Citizens' Arrest Warrant for Pope Francis I]. Archived from itccs.org, 7 July 2013.</ref> The website did look fairly professional at one time, although it has since decayed heavily. If nothing else, it nicely illustrates how the [[Timecube Law]] and [[Haig's Law]] can go hand in hand. Most genuine international legal bodies are not "Proudly powered by WordPress".

The International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State or ITCCS came to some notice in the social media sphere in February 2013, when Annett issued a claim that Pope [[Benedict XVI]] resigned for fear of arrest on an ITCCS warrant<ref>[https://archive.ph/01rye Pope Benedict resigned to avoid arrest, seizure of church wealth by Easter Roman Catholic Church is declared a Transnational Criminal Organization – International Arrest Warrant to be issued against Pope Francis /Jorge Bergoglio for Inciting Criminality and Treason]. Archived from itccs.org, 23 July 2013.</ref> and the hard-of-thinking forwarded it around as if this actually made sense. This stunt made his phony organization notable enough to be debunked on Snopes.<ref>[https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/pope-benedict-resignation/ Pope Benedict Resignation]. [[Snopes]], 20 March 2013.</ref>

In March of the same year, Annett boldly took new steps and "convicted" two consecutive Popes of genocide and child trafficking, issuing "international arrest warrants" for them.<ref>[https://archive.is/GAJxe International Arrest Warrant issued against Pope Francis I, Jorge Mario Bergoglio, for Crimes against Humanity and Child Trafficking]. Archived from itcss.org, 15 March 2013.</ref>

The ITCCS website also sports a prominent link to a so-called "Common Law Community Training Manual", which is basically a [[Sovereign citizen]] FAQ.<ref>[https://archive.ph/2lgsu Common Law Community Training Manual]. Archived from itccs.org, 31 March 2014.</ref> They also have a collection of "Common Law Court Documents", in case you were looking for a pseudolaw starter kit.<ref>[https://archive.ph/vhU4v Common Law Court Documents]. Archived from itcss.org, 1 May 2014.</ref>

Via the ITCCS, Annett has also issued a proclamation dissolving Canada,<ref>[https://archive.ph/AljQM CANADA IS DISSOLVED]. Archived from republicofkanata.com, 7 March 2013.</ref> which he has replaced with the Republic of Kanata. He also dissolved Great Britain, though that one was only on Twitter.<ref>[http://www.twitlonger.com/show/l8k3rf GREAT BRITAIN IS DISSOLVED]. twitlonger.com, 7 March 2013.</ref> This is particularly impressive, as Great Britain is not a country but an island. One wonders how much water was required to dissolve such a large island. Annett claimed to be replacing Great Britain with the "Republic of England", apparently being unaware of the existence of [[Northern Ireland]], [[Scotland]], and [[Wales]].

===International Common Law Court of Justice===
At the heart of the "organization" is something Annett calls the '''International Common Law Court of Justice''' (or '''ICLCJ'''), which is rather similar to those "common law courts" sometimes set up by [[Freeman on the land|freemen on the land]], right down to the "citizen jurors."<ref>[https://archive.ph/itfRP What is the International Common Law Court of Justice?] Archived from itccs.org, 1 May 2014.</ref> The ICLCJ is supposedly "a lawful Citizens’ Tribunal of Conscience," whatever that means. This court, however, exists only in the mind of Annett.

===Tribunal into Crimes against Humanity===
Never running out of phony names for his non-existent organisations, he has the '''Tribunal into Crimes against Humanity''' or '''TCH'''. Annett has accused the Vatican and the British government of trying to block the clearly real and important actions of his Tribunal, stating:

{{quotebox|Despite efforts by the British government and the Vatican to obstruct the Tribunals, including by deporting and harassing its leading members, survivors of church and state terror will gather in five countries to present evidence and come to a judgement concerning church-sponsored genocide, murder and the continued trafficking in children. We intend to share this evidence before the world, and bring indictments against the Roman Catholic and numerous Protestant churches, as well as the Crown of England, for mass murder and the continued trafficking and torture of children.<ref name=advisory>[https://archive.ph/eSLLB International Media and Community Advisory]. Archived from itccs.org, 3 August 2011.</ref>}}

In 2011, the powers that be apparently lost the ability to hold back the tidal wave force of the TCH, which was claimed by Annett to finally have convened in several world capitals globally (including Brussels, London and Ottawa), supposedly present in all these places at once to physically arrest the globalist heads of some vast conspiracy:

{{quotebox|After more than a year of preparation, a network of community-based Tribunals into [[Crimes against humanity|Crimes against Humanity]] will officially convene in Brussels, London, Ottawa and other cities on September 15, 2011, armed with the power to arrest and sentence guilty offenders – including the Pope himself.<ref name="Arrest">[https://archive.ph/dP6KU International Media and Community Advisory from The International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS) and Kevin Annett]. Archived from kevinannett.com, 3 August 2011.</ref>}}

None of these arrests took place or were even attempted — Kevin probably didn't even leave his own basement on that very day. Still, in the same proclamations, he literally goes on to impersonate law enforcement, claiming to have "Common Law Peace Officers" at the standby to enforce his weird rants:

{{quotebox|Equally important, the Tribunals will bring common law legal judgements against the guilty persons and institutions, including Pope Joseph Ratzinger, and will impose community sentences against them that will be fully enforced by Common Law Peace Officers.<ref name="Arrest"/>}}

Unless a massive shoot-out between the common law peace officers and the proper authorities was also [[Coverup|covered up]] internationally and all at once, it's probably safe to assume that nothing ever came of this either. If a global coverup took place, however, this event may be counted among the many [[Freeman on the land#Freeman successes|freeman successes]].

==Accosting the native Canadian community==
{{cquote|As one who has been commissioned by the Onkwehonwe (Mohawk) and Haudenosonee (Iroquois) nations to share this Great Law with [[cranks|my own people]]...|||Kevin Annett<ref name="Rep">[https://archive.ph/pB6WT Can a “White Man” Speak about the Crimes of his own Culture?] Archived from kevinannett.com, 31 January 2012.</ref>}}

Annett claims (to this day) to have been personally chosen by the native Canadian community to (pseudo)legally represent them, previously also having made his money claiming to represent their interests.<ref name="Rep"/> Until they told him to damn well stop it.<ref>[https://archive.ph/VuILi MediaWatch: Rabble.ca, Media Co-Op & Kevin Annett’s (Continuing) Abuse Of Indigenous Communities…] Archived from genuinewitty.com, 17 October 2012.</ref>

Before his press releases about arresting popes, Annett was known for making extensive claims of exposing ritual murder of native children in [[residential school]]s. He was active in native activist organisations in Canada<ref>[http://freethoughtblogs.com/almostdiamonds/2011/10/13/evil-enough-already/ Evil Enough Already]. freethoughtblogs.com, 13 October 2011.</ref> — which he had a habit of using to raise money for himself, claiming their support and endorsement until forced to desist.<ref>[https://archive.ph/maIbl Public Notice from Circle of Justice]. Archived from sisis.nativeweb.org, 28 September 1998.</ref> Here's a real shocker: this is illegal in Canada.

Annett’s explanation for all this is to claim that [[Shill gambit|all official representatives of native Canadians are corrupt]] and have agreed to keep the [[Manufactroversy|deaths of thousands of children]] secret.<ref>Kevin Annett, [https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/_/RfrvYwoGoREC?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA116&dq=%22circle+of+justice%22+residential+schools Unrepentant: Disrobing the Emperor]. Google Books.</ref>

Despite the attempts to limit his abuse of real topics, he went on to make outright pseudohistorical claims:

{{quotebox|"We have forensic proof now that countless children are buried in mass graves near former church schools, orphanages and sweatshops across Canada, America, England, Ireland and Australia" said ITCCS spokesman Kevin Annett today.<ref name=advisory />}}

Notice that the above, which he posted on kevinannett.com, is in fact an interview with himself, in which he (as Kevin Annett, the person) asks himself the questions and answers them in third person (as Kevin Annett, the ITCCS spokesman).

==Transphobia and homophobia==
{{cquote|Solidarity with cross dressers is not exactly a slogan to win much credibility or kudos in any department. [[Friend argument|None of the trannies I’ve known]] have ever seemed that much in need of remembrance.|||Kevin Annett<ref name="Insane">[https://archive.ph/136yV The United Church of Canada is Insane, and other Spiritual Reflections by Kevin D. Annett]. Archived from kevinannett.com, 19 November 2014.</ref>}}

Annett has a major beef with {{wpl|Gary Paterson||,}} the former Moderator of the United Church of Canada, for the simple reason that Paterson was openly [[gay]] and not a hateful [[asshole]] like Annett. The idea for the church to push forward with gay acceptance and to work against violence against [[transgender]] people was met with disgust by Annett, who wrote:

{{quotebox|I learned long ago the pointlessness of arguing morality with a psychopath – one wonders why the collective absurdity calling itself the United Church is lending itself to such increasingly bizarre and membership-shrinking gestures as the latest stunt emanating from the twisted gray matter of Gary Paterson.

[...]

It’s one of those compensations of a moral universe that anyone who gets away with a crime eventually goes mad from doing so; and the bigger the atrocity, the crazier they become. [[Godwin's Law|Ask Idi Amin, Adolf Hitler, or Joe Stalin.]]

Or Gary Paterson.

Gary who?

Unless you’ve been avoiding the internet and television for the past few weeks, you can’t have missed Gary Paterson, the immoderate Moderator of the United (or was that Untied?) Church of Canada, who just announced that all good church members should honor transgender people in a special day of remembrance. Why? Because two such people were killed in Canada last year, ostensibly because of their sexual identity.<ref name="Insane"/>}}

In a fit of [[Not as bad as|fake moral outrage]], Annett sarcastically commented on the choice of not wishing death to transgender people when there used to be residential schools that could be discussed instead:

{{quotebox|Instead, well, let’s all remember, I don’t know, how about cross dressers?<ref name="Insane"/>}}

Truly a beacon of the freemen.<ref group=note>Note that Annett also confuses crossdressing with being transgender.</ref>
