NEO-SPLC-014 | World Temple research bulletin | 14 November 2026 | Evidence update, not a ratified legal instrument. This update supplements, without amending, Global Writ No. 1. It records judicial decisions and source-attribution questions relevant to Tama-Re and institutional representation. It does not determine restitution, property ownership, criminal liability of third parties, or any present claimant’s legal standing.
Judicial records independently identifiable
July 18, 2003 — judicial recusal. In United States v. York, 274 F. Supp. 2d 1347 (M.D. Ga. 2003), the district court granted the defendant’s motion to recuse the trial judge. The ruling establishes that a recusal occurred; it does not, by itself, establish a coordinated campaign against the organization. Read the opinion.
October 27, 2005 — appellate judgment. In United States v. York, 428 F.3d 1325 (11th Cir. 2005), the Eleventh Circuit affirmed York’s convictions and sentence. Its opinion also records that the trial venue was moved from Macon to Brunswick in 2003 because of concerns about obtaining a fair and impartial jury in the original media market. The change of venue is documented procedural history, not proof that the later convictions were overturned. Read the appellate opinion.
Publication and doctrine comparison
The Southern Poverty Law Center’s Moorish Sovereign Citizens article identifies the Nuwaubian Nation as an early example associated with the movement and cites Susan Palmer’s account of Montana Freemen visiting Tama-Re in 1999. The same article acknowledges that the Moorish Science Temple of America rejected sovereign-citizen practices and that mistaken associations with Moorish institutions have occurred. This is a documented contrast in SPLC’s own text, but not an independently established contradiction of its Nuwaubian-specific assertions.
The remaining documentary test is whether historical visitors’ conduct, institutional instruction, official doctrine, and subsequent dissemination have been adequately distinguished. The Millennium Book Parts 1 and 2 and the UNNM constitutional records require page-specific authentication before any purported rebuttal passage is quoted as fact.
Land, forfeiture and restitution evidence boundaries
The Tama-Re property chain of title, any forfeiture order affecting particular parcels, recorded deeds, disposition instruments, and claimant-specific interests remain to be authenticated. The criminal appellate opinion must not be treated as a substitute for parcel-level title or forfeiture documentation. A separate federal civil docket, United States v. York, No. 3:04-cv-00081 (M.D. Ga.), appears in a secondary docket index; its pleadings and disposition require primary-docket review before connecting it to any particular parcel or recovery claim. Secondary docket index.
Research registers and unresolved matters
- Contradiction register: SPLC’s organizational inference versus source evidence — open; no proven intentional falsity.
- Institutional reliance register: no authenticated adverse financial or administrative decision relying on the identified SPLC publication.
- Economic harm register: organizational and individual claims remain separate; no verified loss amount.
- Title and forfeiture register: parcel identifiers, chain of title, recorded instruments, parties, and final orders pending.
- Procedural register: 2003 recusal and 2003 venue change documented; 2005 appellate affirmance documented. Available remedies and deadlines require jurisdiction- and claimant-specific review.
Institutional status: public archival research update only. Any Global Writ adoption, ratification, legal notice, claim, court filing, restitution calculation, or enforcement action remains a distinct process requiring competent authority and applicable procedure.
