Reddit and Snopes are on it, which makes me think there's more to the story?

I heard about this some time ago but after learning that even Japan has a "Bar Association" I got curious to it again. Is this some grand scheme or is it innocent? How do so many places with different legal cultures have "Bar Associations"?

The STATE BAR OF CALIFORNIA CORPORATION holds all of the Articles of Incorporation documents for the STATE OF CALIFORNIA CORPORATION, a MUNICIPAL SERVICE CORP (MSC overlay of sovereign California State) created sometime between 15OCT1933 and 20JAN1937. It is owned by the US CORP TREASURY. SBofCC is also a subsidiary/franchise of AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION CORP which is domiciled in the city-state of Washington, D.C. ABAC has undisclosed owners suspected to be shell companies/proxies of the British Crowne. All MSCs are a "legal structure creation" of the ABAC which itself is a modern day EAST INDIA CORP, installed into America rather than India, alluding to MI-6 being part of the ownership group.
