International Journal of Coercion, Abuse, and Manipulation Volume 6 2023 132
begins with the CPS worker asking if Bonnie Straight
is a lawyer, and acting as the legal representative for a
mother involved with CPS. What follows demonstrates
that Bonnie Straight personally employs the techniques
she promotes, and, ironically, their limited effect:
Bonnie Straight: “I am power of attorney. I am
trustee of her estate and I am the highest law
officer in the whole nation of Texas.”
CPS Worker: “OK so you are not a lawyer,
though?”
Bonnie Straight: “Do I have a BAR card? No,
I keep my hands in my own pockets nor do I
traffick children.”
CPS Worker: “So, what was your question, I’m
sorry.”
Bonnie Straight: “I had asked last week for a
copy of the articles of incorporation.”
CPS Worker: “We won’t be providing that to
you. Do you have any specific questions with
regards to this case?”
Bonnie Straight: “Yeah, is there a cause number?”
CPS Worker: “... We are still in the process
of investigating. We have not removed any
children.”
Bonnie Straight: “If there is a cause of action,
which would have a cause number, ...That
would be the only way in order to be drafted by
a judge.”
CPS Worker: “We have ordered an investigation
by a judge it is not a removal. It’s basically the
equivalent of search warrant. Once that search
warrant was executed, it goes away.”
Bonnie Straight: “I’ve got an affidavit of truth
from the mother that she sought medical
treatment and that should be sufficient for you
to close your case.”
CPS Worker: “It is not but we would appreciate
a copy of it nevertheless.”
Bonnie Straight: “The problem is that my
client has chosen not to contract with your for-
profit corporation. I have asked for articles of
incorporation to prove your existence as a real
legitimate CPS agency that protects children.”
CPS Worker: “Do you live in the state of Texas?”
Bonnie Straight: “I live in this great nation of
Texas, yes, I do.”
CPS Worker: “Do you live in the state of Texas?”
Bonnie Straight: “I live in the nation of Texas.”
CPS Worker: “So, you live in the state of Texas?
Here is a bit of a history lesson, Texas happens
to be part of the United States of America. Are
you familiar with the United States of America?”
Bonnie Straight: “By treaty and contract, yes? It
was actually by treaty, supremacy clause article
6. It’s all by treaty. It’s its own nation. ...You want
to test my knowledge about Texas? Seriously?
What do we look at the Bill of Rights article 1
section 1?”
CPS Worker: “They will actually go with you and
give you a library card it’s actually free. Anybody
can get one.”
Bonnie Straight: “Well maybe you should check
the Bill of Rights of my client. Maybe you should
check the Bill of Rights supremacy clause ...”
CPS Worker: “You should go to the section
marked history specifically Texas history and it
will give you a lot of valuable information.”
Bonnie Straight: “I have it all, I know it all off the
top of my head I have memorized it all ...”
CPS Worker: “You don’t need our articles of
incorporation because you know it all.”

Bonnie Straight: “You are a for-profit corporation.
Why don’t you look up a US Supreme Court
decision called Clearfield Trust Vs United States?
Governments have chosen to incorporation [sic].
They have to follow all the rules of cooperations.
That is a US Supreme Court Article III decision.”
CPS Worker: “Go ahead and send your statement
of truth it will certainly be considered.”
Bonnie Straight: “Here’s what we’re going to do.
Here’s what we’re going to do. I need your name
and your BAR card number.”
CPS Worker: “I will give you nothing.”
[By this point, Bonnie Straight is very emotional,
and seems to be crying as she speaks.]
Bonnie Straight: “Ok so you’re acting under color
of law and when I ask you for validity that you are
a real BAR cardholder with a BAR card license,
which is a foreign agency, foreign to Texas, you
operate underneath a British Accreditation
Registry and you’re too stupid to even know it.
We are going to federal court ...and we’ll open
a real cause of action that will trump your state
court article 1 court bullshit. My clients’ rights
trump the power of any corporation. You don’t
have rights. My client and her children have a
right to privacy, the fourth and fifth amendment.
You got an order that’s void. Look at Texas Bill
of Rights article 1 section 29 look it up, read it,
memorize it because we will hold your ass to the
highest standard of law and you will be punished
economically, we will own your home and the
toys your kids play with when I’m done with
you. Do you understand me? I’m not putting
up with your child trafficking agency that steals
children, does organ harvesting, uses the satanic
rituals, and sacrifices [children] all day long.
I understand the fraud of what you are doing.
You’re not going to get away with it. Not with
this client of mine.”
(Straight.edu., 2022).
The video ends with a note that says “this case was shut
down with one document [sic] challenging standing
and jurisdiction. CPS folded and requested the case
to be dismissed.” The video claims the court granted
dismissal “in the best interest of children” (Straight.
edu., 2022). Despite declaring otherwise, the Straights
articulate beliefs common among sovereign citizen and
pseudolegal adherents. The assertions of fact, made by
the creators of the video, have not been substantiated.
The video’s creators do not provide any verifiable proof
for their statements.
1. Second Supposed CPS Victory
Subsequently, another video was posted, featuring
Bonnie Straight’s claim of a second victory over CPS. In
this instance, Bonnie Straight says that a woman who
had her children “seized” by CPS saw Bonnie Straight’s
aforementioned video and contacted her for help.
Bonnie Straight says she assisted the mother in crafting
legal paperwork to file in court, which essentially said
that, without a contract with the parent, “CPS [or the
court] cannot act.” Bonnie Straight reports that in court
the woman “stood on her rights, stood on her liberty
and they kept trying to coerce her to take a contract
with a BAR card holder.” Bonnie Straight claims these
tactics led to the mother “winning” her case. Again, no
evidence or proof is offered to substantiate these claims
(Forwarded from Bonnie, 2022).
2. Attempts to Intervene in Amber Alerts
In a July 14, 2022 Telegram post, Bonnie Straight,
by her own admission, attempted to intervene in an
active Amber alert. A Coffee City, Texas CPS agency
was temporarily awarded custody of a newborn whose
non-custodial parents absconded with the child after
the child tested positive for narcotics (Frazier, 2022).
The parents eventually contacted authorities to turn
the baby over to CPS. In the meantime, Bonnie Straight
posted multiple videos of herself asking followers to
help her get in touch with the parents who were being
“hunted by CPS,” so she could personally assist them.
She spoke about the dangers of CPS, namely that CPS
is only in business to “traffick children.” Bonnie Straight
also invited the parents to reach out to the “Republic
of Texas” and “we will help you fight the fraud and
child trafficking in the courts. Talk to us we are the real
government. ...The only real ...government de jure the
