Amos Miller, owner of Miller’s Organic Farm, is in a fight with the government. The heart of the issue involves food safety issues.
His solution, apparently, is become a sovereign citizen.
Miller wants to fire his attorney and the attorney wants out too, but prosecutors are urging him to stay involved. “I don’t want to have anything to do with these sovereign citizen people at all,” the attorney told the local paper.
Miller has informed his attorney that he is now being represented by Prairie Star National. They provide “financial services” and help in “reclaiming freedom.” They are not a law firm so it is unclear exactly what services they are providing.
In federal court filings, ‘Prairie Star announces its new client, as ‘Amos Blank Miller, flesh and blood, a living man, does proclaim by thus Declaration that any prior.’
Prairie Star also maintains that:
- the state of Washington has ‘ceased to exist,’
- its local governments are ‘null and void’
- the US is no better ‘because it is a ‘franchise of a Bankrupt and out of business.’
‘Amos Miller was named as a ‘Defendant’ and is a DEBTOR’ - the U.S. Department of Agriculture is really ‘bankrupt and out of business’
- the Department of Justice can only proceed if federal attorneys ‘list a TRUE secured party creditor’ in the matter on behalf of the USDA. That is because USDA is a ‘DEBTOR as in a derivative of the United States of America, also a DEBTOR IN bankruptcy.’

The fight between Miller and the government has been going on for some time and his attorney worries Miller might go to jail. He has already been fined $250,000.

Update (Nov 16, 2021): Looks the like the lawyer is continuing to be forced to stay on the case even though the defendant does not want him and instead wants to keep Prairie Star, which even the government contends is a sovereign citizen group. In a letter to the feds, Prairie Star ‘describes itself as “a ‘Pure Contract Trust’ whose jurisdiction is in the air, as it is neither ‘alive nor a dead entity.’
The lawyer seems to have a good attitude about the whole thing, commenting that he sees the government’s request to keep him on as “kind of a compliment.”
They must think he is good.
Second Update: (Nov 18, 2021): The federal judge in the case has ordered his clerk to reject all attempted filings by Prairie Star. This sounds very wise given that they are not licensed to practice law and they seem to sovereign citizen adherents.
December 8, 2021: In a sort of unrelated case, Prairie Star National seems to be involved in another case that you can read about here. A man by the name of “Sterling Jay: Shaw “Living man where the flesh lives the blood flows and there is nothing between me and the divine” united state of america unincorporated” is suing the government and Prairie Star is mentioned many times.
