Why Would Canada "Help" the United States Clean House?


By Anna Von Reitz

There are persistent rumors saying that Canada stands ready to help us drain the swamp, fumigate the house, and dynamite the snake pit in Washington, DC. This surfaced again in a Ben Fulford Report recently, and right beside it, a news item about Queen Bess offering to come take over administration of our government.

This is the sort of snide British humor that passes over most heads.

The Brits have been in charge of of key portions of our "government" since Day One---- including our commercial life and foreign policy and trade policies. It's their administration and mis-administration and Breach of Trust that has provided the habitat for all the most vile creatures inhabiting our capitol.

It's their "snakes" and "alligators" slithering around the Halls of Congress. Even the few forthright Americans who try to stem the tide and bring reform to Washington are stopgobbered from the start by being forced to pledge their allegiance to a foreign government and to act as British Subjects for the duration of their terms in office.

As usual, the Brits aren't offering to help us. They are offering to help themselves and make it appear to the rest of the world that it is our problem and they are just helping. 
Hegelian Dialectic to the Moon: defraud, mischaracterize, and abuse the people of another country for 150 years, do it in Breach of Trust, while pretending to be a friend and an ally--- then pretend that this is all their problem and offer to help? 
Rich irony. Really rich.

One can only shudder and wonder what Queen Elizabeth's idea of "help" would be?

Preet Bharara --- The Hero You Never Heard Of


By Anna Von Reitz

Preet Bharara is the U.S. Prosecuting Attorney for the Southern District of New York.  Pray for him.  It was he and the New York Police Department (NYPD) that have forced the FBI into doing its job with respect to Hillary Clinton and her emails. 

It was the NYPD that discovered the full, uncut, actual emails on Anthony Wiener's laptop, but more importantly, it was the NYPD and Preet Bharara who  brought the information forward instead of trying to paper it over.

They forced the FBI's hand.  They made it impossible for Director Comey to cover Hillary's butt and his own at the same time.   It's one or the other, Jack. And I can just hear the conversation going down:

The Boys in Blue:  "I don't give a crap.  She's guilty. Book her."

You Want to Be Free? By-Pass Temptation to Vote


By Anna Von Reitz

I have explained this until I am blue in the face.

If you are an average, every day American State National, you can't vote in any of these elections.

Why?  Because all the elections on offer are foreign elections. 

They are private corporate elections, despite appearing to be public elections.

And as of 1868, the rats responsible made it illegal for you to vote in their elections.

The Municipality of Washington DC is run as an independent international city state and functions as an plenary oligarchy run by the member of Congress.  All municipal US CITiZENS are slaves to the government.  They can vote.

Standing Rock - Beyond Tribalism


By Anna Von Reitz

Picture this.  It's evening.  I and an Indian Chief are out in the middle of nowhere fifty miles from the nearest cattle crossing.  The only sign of civilization in the whole vast landscape is a pair of steel rails on railroad ties and we happen to be standing on them.  In the near distance, about three miles away, we can see a train heading toward us and feel the very faint tremble in the rails under our feet.

We've been gossiping about life and weather and the difficulties of men and women we know, commiserating about the hardships of bringing up children, the effort to restore the buffalo herds, the beauty of the landscape in front of us, and we go on discussing these and other topics as the train makes its slow way forward.

A few minutes later the train is coming close enough to start to worry me.  The faint tremble in the rails has become something more akin to an electric current, a constant strong vibration, and I can see the engine heading through the final copse of trees before it hits a straightaway stretch coming right for us.

"Ah, Chief, we should move off the tracks," I suggest mildly.

An Open Letter to General Dunford - From Anna Von Reitz

October 29, 2016

Dear Sir:

It is apparent from reading your open letter to our military personnel that you are acting under some common misconceptions. 

The word "citizen" has a legal definition and you need to take note of it.  Citizens of all kinds are obligated to serve the government.  While employed in military service, all personnel function as "citizens of the United States" and are de facto slaves under the municipal law of the foreign, independent international city state of Washington, DC which is run as a plenary oligarchy of the members of the United States Congress.

However, that same "Congress" is under contract and obligation to our states occupying the land jurisdiction of this country and by subrogation to us--- and so are you.

Federal civilian employees and federal dependents also function as citizens--- "United States Citizens". 

Such citizens are all British Subjects and part of the democracy adopted by the United States of America (Minor)---- a "union" of "American states" comprised of the "State of New Columbia" and the so-called Insular States, including Guam, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the "State of State" franchises, sometimes called "inchoate states", such as the "State of Florida".

Clarification of What Happened to Our Government


By Anna Von Reitz

No, neither the corporations running the District of Columbia nor those running the Washington, DC Municipal City State have any power to replace or mess with our government.  They are both foreign governments under contract to our fifty state governments to provide certain stipulated and enumerated (19) services described as "powers" in the original Constitution.  Nothing more or less.

The only way it is enabled to replace our government in any way is if we fail to operate our own government ourselves. That is to a large extent what has happened.  We mistook their government for our government because the state and county organizations that were operating our government all decided to incorporate as franchises of the federal corporation in order to get kick-backs known as "Federal Block Grants".

Postscript to "A Plague of Hopelessly Inept Demands and Declarations"


By Anna Von Reitz

I said something that wasn't quite correct in the prior post -- "A Plague of Hopelessly Inept Demands and Declarations"--- because I didn't touch on things that happened after the time period we were discussing when the "United States of America" first reared its head.

I said that there was no country called "United States of America" and no National Trust established under that name, and at the time period we were talking about, that is true---- but circa 1900-1904, that changed.

The Insular States and District of Columbia joined together to form a country called "United States of America", sometimes referred to as "United States of America (Minor)" early last century.

A Crash Course in Skepticism--- and Hope


By Anna Von Reitz

Take a good look at my face.  My hooded eyes.  My cupid's bow pout.  Where have you seen them before?  Only in all the great houses and the great portrait galleries of the world.  I am a Hapsburg.  The map of the Holy Roman Empire is written on my face. 

A hundred generations of European skullduggery runs in my veins.  I am the living heir of the Holy Roman Empire---- first, second, third, fourth, and however many iterations of it there are or may be, here I am, the end of the line. 

It all comes down to me and the Holy See knows it. 

Merovingian, Carolingian, Batavian, Hanoverian, Mecklenburger, Liechtensteiner, I am like the Grand Central Station of bloodlines, all intersecting. 

Late in the Evening Comes the Dawn -- The Bundys Exonerated


By Anna Von Reitz

For months now members of the Living Law Firm have labored to bring forward vital information to the patriots imprisoned over the stand-off at the Malheur Wildlife Refuge near Burns, Oregon.  They have labored side by side with Bar Attorneys who risked their careers and honored their calling to seek justice for all. 

And last night, just before bedtime, I got a call. 

The Bundys, Shawna Cox, and all the others misidentified and falsely accused by the corporate scum have been exonerated and found "Not Guilty" on all charges.

This is a true victory and one that was won against a stacked deck. 

The trial was held in a Federal Court--- a court owned and operated by sister corporations of those corporations that brought the charges.

A Plague of Hopelessly Inept Demands and Declarations --- Reply for Ron


by Anna Von Reitz

This is for my friend, Ron, and for his friends and their friends of friends who have been running around the past few weeks passing out all sorts of "Orders" and "Demands" and "Charges" in the name of "We, the People, of the United States of America".......

There are all sorts of groups out there now doing similar things and making similar mistakes and wasting their time, so as heartfelt and passionate and outraged as it all is, I had to review one of these publications and say------

"Yes, but it is all totally useless and meaningless and if you take the time to listen I can tell you why."  [-----Again.] 

Americans are defined as "the free, sovereign, and independent people of the United States". 

Catch that?

Bundy Brothers Acquitted

Bundy brothers, 5 other Malheur wildlife refuge occupiers not guilty of conspiracy, firearm charges!

Proof that the Jury System still works sometimes in America, even in the corporate tribunals calling themselves our federal courts.

The Basics


By Anna Von Reitz

I have been asked multiple times
recently for a "Quick Guide" to bring people up to speed on all this history, and I always feel overwhelmed.  I have, in large respect, already provided a "Quick Guide" in the form of a large print cartoon illustrated book, "You Know Something Is Wrong When.....An American Affidavit of Probable Cause" available on Amazon.com for around $20 or as an ebook for around $5. 

God knows, I have done my best to get the information out there and get the American people up on their feet and moving.

Postscript to The "False Flap" Over Bruce Doucette


By Anna Von Reitz

A very intelligent question was asked by Elvia who wanted to know what the complaint against Judge Doucette was about.
Essentially, those complaining thought that The Constitution prohibits the Judicial Branch from making appointments---- which it does, so they objected to Judge Doucette appointing new Federal Continental Marshals.
What the Complainers didn't grasp and probably still don't, is that Judge Doucette isn't operating as part of the Federal Government, even though he is acting in international jurisdiction. Instead, he is exercising the reserved international jurisdiction of the states and the people per Article X of The Constitution.
Under The Constitution the Executive Branch of the Federal Government makes appointments, not members of the Judicial Branch---- but we are not part of the Federal Government, and not part of its Judicial or Executive Branches, and we are not attempting to exercise any of the powers delegated to the Federal Government, either.

The "False Flap" Over Bruce Doucette


By Anna Von Reitz

For the last several days I have been getting stupid comments from wannabe patriots who are, as usual, completely misunderstanding the Law and The Constitution, both in function and in jurisdiction----but who are nonetheless trying to use both as a means to tear down the valid efforts of their more informed countrymen to restore the Public and Organic Law of this country and enforce the provisions of The Constitution we are owed and rebuild the American Common Law Court System which we owe ourselves.
American Common Law modeled on British Common Law flourished in this country from the time the first pilgrims stumbled ashore to the 1960's. Some of us are old enough to remember its fading glory, before it was swept under the rug by corporate interlopers abusing maritime and administrative courts to pillage the American People.
Central to the issue is simply this---- are you a "citizen" meaning a British Subject here to provide our states with governmental services per Article IV of the Constitution, or are you a "national" meaning one of the free, sovereign, and independent people of the United States?

The Vanishing Act


By Anna Von Reitz

Ever wonder how things vanish? Massive things? Entire civilizations, not to mention vast business empires that just go "Pop!" ---- now you see 'em, now you don't?
The Ten Tribes of Israel? Well, they didn't really vanish. They were "spiritually lost" and succumbed to the charms of Babylonian idolatry. We actually know where they went and we know where their descendants are to this day.
In the 1300's the vast Knights Templar organization folded and disappeared overnight taking the bulk of their wealth with them. A few leaders were captured and tortured and killed, most notably, Jacques de Molay, but as for the gold and thousands of others, they simply disappeared.

GESARA and NESARA and NO-SERA about 90% correct


By Anna Von Reitz

I am sorry, but the real General Roy Schwasinger, who was a long-time friend of my Mother's and many of the other desperate Wisconsin dairy farmers who joined the NFO back in the 1970's, 80's and 90's, would turn over in his grave if he heard the claptrap now being spread about NESARA.  And the so-called GESARA, the Global Government version 2.0--- would not be at all well-received, either.

Please note that the writers of all these articles about NESARA never nail the name of the legislation down. 

Pay attention--- very close attention---to the words.

Those who have read my articles about the Great Fraud which has been engulfing our nation and the entire world will be familiar with this con artist technique called "mirroring".  The perpetrators set up two (or more) deceptively similar names and confuse people deliberately.  It works hand in hand with another con job technique called "Bait and Switch"---- you offer a superior product or deal, and at the last minute "switch" to a much lower grade product.

Cleaning Up The Civil War --- 150 Years Later


By Anna Von Reitz

Cleaning Up the Civil War --- 150 Years Later

With a little thought it will become obvious to everyone that we are now finally in the throes of resolving issues that should have been resolved in the wake of the Civil War---- and weren't.

The chief issue to be resolved once and for all time is still slavery.

Back then it was private slave ownership that was the issue---whether or not one man could own another as property. The answer was a resounding, "No!" This was the determination made in England in 1837, in America in 1865, and by 1926, both slavery and involuntary servitude (peonage) had been outlawed worldwide.

Waking Up 101 Revisited


By Anna Von Reitz

Imagine someone who is mentally insane, and the essence of their insanity is that they can't tell the difference between their own body and someone else's.  When they get mad, they punch the guy in the mirror and then wonder why it hurts so bad.  Then they get even angrier, and punch "him" again, and wind up on the floor in the bathroom with a concussion several hours later, with no idea what happened or how. 

That's how some patriots are reacting to the news that the federal government is just a governmental services corporation in the business of providing us with essential government services (Article IV).  They can't quite wrap their heads around it, even though it has been hidden in plain view for over two hundred years--- and they continue to be confused about who is who.  They get angry at the federal government and its "federated state" franchises which are part of the federal corporation---and they bash themselves and other patriots by mistake.

The Church's Year Twenty-Third Sunday After Pentecost

REMARK If from Pentecost until Advent there be only twenty-three Sundays, the following one is omitted, and the Mass of the twenty-fourth is said.
The Introit of the Mass consoles and incites us to confidence in God who is so benevolent towards us, and will not let us pine away in tribulation. The Lord saith: I think thoughts of peace, and not of affliction: you shall call upon me, and I will hear you: and I will bring back your captivity from all places. (Fer. XXIX. 11. 12. 14.) Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob. (Ps. LXXXIV.) Glory etc.
COLLECT Absolve, we beseech Thee, 0 Lord, Thy people from their offences: that through Thy bountiful goodness we may be freed from the bonds of those sins which through our frailty we have contracted. Thro',
EPISTLE (Philipp. III 17-21.: IV, 1-3.) Brethren, Be followers of me, and observe them who walk so as you have our model. For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping), that they are enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. But our conversation is in heaven: from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ, who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself. Therefore, my dearly beloved brethren, and most desired, my joy and my crown: so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. I beg of Evodia, and I beseech Syntyche, to be of one mind in the Lord. And I entreat thee also, my sincere companion, help those women who have labored with me in the gospel with Clement and the rest of my fellow-laborers, whose names are in the book of life.

The Odious Karen Hudes, Once More Revisited


By Anna Von Reitz

Besides becoming an international laughingstock for her Wolfgang Struck escapades, Karen Hudes has remained an incomparably resolute disinformation agent in general.

For example, she has accused me---- me, the one person who stood up and called the World Bank and IBRD on the carpet for stealing the American gold that FDR confiscated from our grandparents on a false claim of abandonment ----of trying to "steal the world's gold reserves". 

Here for the ignorant is the actual story--- AGAIN.

More to Know About Your Name


By Anna Von Reitz

Yesterday, we touched on the fact that you are not your name, that it is a "thing" separate from you, akin to a tool, or a conveyance like a bicycle, that you are given and that you hold as a possession. You are its first "Holder in Due Course" and nobody using your name at any time after that can claim a greater claim to it.

But there are some difficulties.....

For example, what if you have a common name like, "John Robert Brown"? There can be real confusion about who is who and even, as we shall see, what is what--- associated with a name.

Let's go back to the Bible where most conundrums appear in literature. God gave Adam the job of naming things and animals. That much is clear and clearly stated in the Book of Genesis, but, although naming people is not forbidden, it is not mandated, either.

GENIUSES VS. IDIOTS 2015 Mar 3 by Jeff Foxworthy

If plastic water bottles are okay, but plastic bags are banned,
— you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses
but is run by idiots
If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license,
but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally
— you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses
but is run by idiots.
If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or
to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion
— you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses
but is run by idiots.

Your Name, Please? by Anna Von Reitz



Nothing has happened to me.  I am perfectly okay.  I am traveling and working and meeting with other judges and justices of the peace around the country, and meeting with researchers into topics of law and history..... all the things you can see that I do, sometimes require travel and collaboration and face to face meetings.  For the next three weeks I will be on a short tether so far as time to write articles is concerned, so, please bear with me.

The last few days have focused on the topic of names---- what is a name, what do we use it for, what is a legal name versus a lawful name, etc., etc.

Most people take their name for granted and identify themselves with their name.  They think that they are "Joseph Allen Blount" or "Virginia Marie Casper"---but in fact, their name is a separate and alien thing.  Your name isn't you.  It is instead a tool and a possession, like a shovel or a rake or a lawn mower.  It is yours in the same sense that a bicycle is yours.

So that is the first thing you need to understand about a name.

Emergency Communications - Time is short to get your comms up and running!

From the Desk of Paul Stramer
Montana Comm Leader for Oathkeepers



With the announcement this week by Stewart Rhodes of a new Patriot Truckers Division named
"Oath Keepers Highway Recon Team" or HRT, I have been asked to help organize some of the systems that will be used to network the truckers and everyone involved in passing information in the Oath Keepers organization.  Here is the announcement on the Oath Keepers website:
https://www.oathkeepers.org/truckers-program/ 

Oath Keepers will be using several systems on the Internet and portable phones, but this article is primarily concerned with Grid Down radio communications.

As many of you know, I am in the communications business full time and have been for over 20 years now. I am also a general class amateur and a volunteer examiner #1524 for ham radio licensing. Here in Eureka Montana we have been adding new ham radio operators at a steady pace for over 8 years now and formed our first ham club in this area almost 20 years ago. We did this because of the looming crisis in the world. In that time we have helped over 300 people get their licenses in the area.

I have always insisted that the FCC rules from the very beginning have been designed for emergency and safety communications, and allow licensed ham radio operators to do things that others can not do. That includes operating out of band, or with otherwise prohibited power when people's lives and property are in danger. 

To back that up I present here a letter from the ARRL (Amateur Radio Relay League) that clarifies this issue per the FCC rules.  http://www.lincolncountywatch.org/hamguidelines.pdf

Notice that I said "licensed amateurs". There are many reasons for requiring that radio operators be licensed to operate on the ham bands and other bands in normal times, or in emergencies. 

Ham radio can be either a tremendous asset or it can be a big liability, depending on whether you know what you are doing, or not. By that I mean that a bunch of people who don't know what they are doing can create so much interference with orderly communications protocols that the frequency becomes a hodgepodge of chatter and unusable noise. For evidence of that just tune in the CB band. It can also mean that people can become endangered by the very communications that are supposed to help them save the lives and property of the people they were trying to benefit.

There is no excuse for anyone not getting their ham license. The license is free, the study course costs only about $30, and the test materials cost only $5 - $15 in most places. The test is multiple choice. On the technician class test there are only 35 questions, and you can get 9 wrong and still pass the test. There is no longer any requirement on any ham test to learn morse code. We have given the technician test to people as young as 8 years with good results.

For great places to study for your ham license examination use the free practice tests at http://www.qrz.com/hamtest/ or at http://www.eham.net/exams/

At this point I always get the same questions. Why should I trade in a right for a privilege, and why would I want to let government know who I am? Let me try to answer.

First, radio waves do NOT respect any borders. They go where they will. You can argue that government should not be involved in making rules about radio saying that it's "not in the US constitution". There are a couple of things about that. One is that it IS in the US Constitution that government must protect our borders. I believe that it is within the realm of government constitutionally to protect AMERICA'S INVENTION of radio from invasion and incursion by ANY foreign power, and to that end there are treaties with other countries involving the allocation of frequencies and usage of those that are rightly entered into by the FCC, and have been, almost from the beginning of the invention of radio communications.

The second point is this. You don't want to unnecessarily twist the tiger's tail. People do that with the driver's license VS the right to travel, and some end up in jail for a while, when there are much more important issues to fight about. The same applies here. I don't see any licensed hams going to jail because they want to use radio in an emergency, or simply because they have the ham ticket in their pocket. 

The third is about staying under the radar where federal agencies are concerned. Guess what. There are almost one MILLION licensed hams just in North America alone. That, friends is good cover, and cover enough for the purpose of preparedness. What are they going to do? Do you think they could try to make criminals of all those hams with the stroke of a pen, and if they did, do you think they could physically enforce that? On the contrary, they would be way in over their heads, and they know it.

If you want to find any ham radio operator that has a license just do a search here with your zip code. http://www.qrz.com   When you apply for your license use a PO Box, not your physical address.

Go study, and when the interactive software says to schedule your test look up some local hams with the qrz.com site search link and ask them when the next test will be and where.  You don't have to have the callsign to own the right equipment, or to listen to what is going on out on the ham bands. You do need it when you push the transmit button.

We also recommend you get a GMRS license. GMRS stands for General Mobile Radio Service. You can just BUY a license for about $65 without any test. That license is good for 5 years, and can be used for personal business as well as other personal uses, but may not transmit messages in exchange for money.. There are 8 channels available with wideband, full modulation on UHF at around 462.000 mHz. The license is good for the whole family, and each license can have their own repeater. We are putting up a GMRS repeater in Eureka soon, in addition to about 9 other repeaters we already have for ham radio. You can see most of the GMRS repeaters in the whole country here:
https://www.mygmrs.com/
See all the ham repeaters in the country here:  http://www.artscipub.com/repeaters/  These repeaters greatly increase the range of your handheld or mobile radios, sometimes out to 100 or more miles radius from the repeater site.
See all the police, sheriff, and other emergency frequencies here:   http://www.radioreference.com/apps/db/   

You might want to get a scanner from our radio store at http://www.fm2way.com/scan.htm so you can listen to what is happening in your area, especially in any emergency situation. Your life might depend on it some day.

My recommendations to get licensed STANDS notwithstanding all the comments I will get on this article, from our readers, about not wanting to get ANY licenses for ANYTHING because they would be trading in a right for a government privilege.  Just write your comments and I will answer them with some good reasoning on this. The rest of this will deal with what to do after you have your license.

What kind of radio should you buy?
To start with you will need a handheld dual band FM transceiver that covers at least the 2 meter and the 70 CM ham bands. And it would be best if that radio was also type accepted by the FCC to cover the business bands just above both of those bands. Band refers to a group of frequencies designated by the FCC for certain purposes. 

The 2 meter ham band covers 144 - 148 Mhz (that is megahertz, or million cycles per second) The business band above that is the VHF business band and covers 150 - 174 Mhz.

Correspondingly there are two bands on UHF also. The ham band is 70cm (centimeters) from 430 - 450 Mhz, and the business band above that at 450 - 470 Mhz. All these frequencies (bands of frequencies) can be covered by ONE radio. We recommend and are using the Anytone 3208 U/V which fills all these requirements. Find it here: http://www.fm2way.com/fmhand.htm This radio will also do the GMRS band and can be used to listen, but is not type accepted for transmitting on GMRS.   FCC ID# T4K3208UV  The certification is for Part 90 business band use, not Part 95A GMRS use.
  
You will be very pleasantly surprised at how well these small radios perform. I have talked up to 10 miles with just a handheld, to another handheld, and much further to a base, mobile, or repeater. 

What is a repeater? It's a radio that is located at a very advantageous location like the top of a mountain, that listens on one frequency, and instantly transmits what it hears on another higher or lower frequency,  in real time. That allows you to extend your range up to the footprint of that particular repeater. Most of our repeaters are either solar powered or have a battery backup system that will allow them to stay on the air for weeks during an emergency. Some of our repeaters have a footprint of up to 150 miles or more.

There are literally THOUSANDS of repeaters in America.

All of these handheld units use FM modulation. Modulation is the method of putting an intelligence on the signal that can be converted back to audio so you can hear what the guy on the other end is saying. FM is frequency modulation, or varying the frequency of the signal a very little bit so a detector in the receiver of the listening radio can re-create sound. FM is very impervious to noise, and to other weaker signals, so it's usually either pretty clear, or it's not there so it can be heard. 

That makes for very quiet radio operation with little interference from things like alternators in a vehicle, or power lines, like you would hear on CB which usually uses AM or amplitude modulation, which varies the "strength" of the signal. 

Groups of hams can monitor several frequencies at the same time by using a feature called SCAN which rotates around several channels (with a different frequency in each channel) and when someone talks on one of the channels being monitored the scan stops and locks on that channel. At that point if you want to continue on that conversation you can press an exit key or touch the transmit button and the radio stays on that channel. When you are done listening you can start up the scan and monitor all again.

Please watch this video about the possibilities of various types of radios that can be used for safety communications. This is published by AmRRon, which stands for The American Redoubt Radio Operators Network.  https://amrron.com/  



I am MTOathkeeper on the AmRRon network, and a General Class Amateur radio operator with a callsign of KC7MEZ.  I am also a volunteer examiner for ham radio with a VE number of 1524.  See my station here:  http://www.kc7mez.com  The page gives a good overview of what we are trying to do with Oath Keepers.
It also shows some of the alternative energy we like to use to power these ham stations.

In the announcement of the Truckers HRT division you will see a map, and after watching the above video it should be easy to see how these communications teams can be structured. We don't give out the specific details for obvious reasons but if you are a member of one of the truckers teams, and have been vetted then there will be further explanations of how we do this on the radio. You can Join the HRT here:
https://www.oathkeepers.org/truckers-program/

The following video will give you an idea of what the bands will be like in an actual emergency.
Everyone will want to talk at the same time, and it will take some practice to make any real communications traffic out of what we call a pile up.  This operator has a unique situation in that every time he gets on the air he has to deal with a pile up. But this is what it will be like when trying to communicate with radio when we have a "failure of civility" in our country.




To try to ease the pain in a real emergency we have band plans that will help to get the emergency traffic to the most people.  But nothing will prepare you for this except EXPERIENCE and familiarity with your equipment and some emergency communications protocols knowledge. There is no substitute for experience and practice.

Now lets look at EMP protection.

One of the best short articles I have seen on this was written a few years ago by one of our hams in North Idaho.
http://www.lincolncountywatch.org/faradycages.pdf

Protecting your expensive equipment against an EMP attack is not an exact science, since a deliberate EMP attack has never been done so that we have any real time experience of the results, but much testing has been done that does indicate what could happen. The above article is just a small overview but provides some inexpensive solutions on a practical level that can protect spare equipment you already have.

One of the most detailed discussions of this topic I have read is here:

http://www.futurescience.com/emp/emp-protection.html

Now a bit of practical information for local people that are NOT ham radio operators.

This video is found on the AmRRon website at this location.

https://amrron.com/communications-resources/ch3-project/



Stations like the one at www.KC7MEZ.com will be monitoring all these frequencies after civil unrest starts.
If you have a CB, don't throw it out, get an antenna and put it on the air, especially in your vehicles. If you don't get one here:  http://www.fm2way.com/cb.htm   I recommend the Uniden PRO 510 or 520 for a simple low cost CB because we have used them for over 23 years in logging trucks and contractors pickups with very good results. They are tough, and have a full metal cabinet.
If you are a trucker and need a Single Sideband CB the one I recommend is the Galaxy DX959. This is the one I run on my base station to monitor Ch3.  It's a completely legal CB with 12 watts output on SSB, which gives about a 3 times range boost over a straight AM CB radio with 4 watts output. We will talk more about Single Sideband in a future article.

Suffice it to say that with proper training, and the right equipment, you will be a big asset to your community and the safety and well being of your neighbors as well as your family in any emergency. To that end I hope you will ask lots of questions about Ham radio, and here is the phone number you can call to get personal attention to those questions. 800 889 2839 

Again, The Cardinal Rule of Radio is  "Ask lots of questions".

Report on Anna's automated mailing system growth.

From the desk of Paul Stramer



One year ago today we started the automated email system.

This has always been about communications!

Exactly one year ago today I started up an automated mailing system at Aweber.com for this effort to get the history of the fraud used to enslave America and the world out to the public world wide by spreading the articles written by Anna Von Reitz.

As of today we have had 2128 people come and take a look by subscribing to that list, and 1721 have remained subscribed and continue to get each article Anna writes.

Many of these people around the world have supported this effort of exposing the cabal and their fraud, by spreading the articles from Anna's website at www.annavonreitz.com to their own subscriber lists, which are often bigger than ours. I have no idea how many people are getting our information on a regular basis, but it's viral world wide on many blogs and websites that we have no direct connection with other than that the people involved with each site believe in the message.

We have a few people in that list that have donated a few bucks to help spread the word around the world.

We actually have been doing some paid advertising now for about 2 months that is helping find new people using the Expatriation Ad Campaign explained here:  http://www.annavonreitz.com/bannerads.html

This is just the beginning.

Housekeeping 101 --- Us and Them by Anna Von Reitz



Good morning, good evening, good wherever and whenever this finds you all.

I will be doing some extra work for the next few weeks and as a result my ability to publish will be somewhat uneven. This doesn't "mean" anything, except that I am in meetings and teleconferences and shuttling around from place to place more than normal----all of which takes time and detracts from communication.

Major funding for the actual government of the people, by the people, and for the people is being discussed and provided for.  As more and more people have awakened and realized the Truth--- that the private, mostly foreign-owned governmental services corporation operating out of District of Columbia is not our government and its local franchises are not our states-- it becomes evident that reforming or even replacing the governmental services corporation with a new one doesn't fix the actual underlying problem. 

Read that---  it doesn't matter if the thing in DC is called the UNITED STATES (INC.) or THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (INC.) or the NEW REPUBLIC (INC.) or CULPEPPER'S FIVE AND DIME (INC.)  It is still just a corporation in the business of providing government services.

Answer Regarding Confusion


By Anna Von Reitz

In answer to the confusion over the apparent layers of "government" it is easiest to visualize in terms of jurisdictions instead of "territories"----which can mean many things. 

The federal corporation(s) received a delegation of our authority to provide certain (19) services to our states of the Union and they have usurped their delegated jurisdiction over on top of ours in contravention of our agreements with them and they have claimed falsely that we knew about this and agreed to it. 

Each state of the Union is also a nation (national = land jurisdiction = public ) and a state (international = sea jurisdiction = private) as well as having its part of the global jurisdiction of the air.

So, for example the state of new york has air, land, and sea jurisdictions associated with it.

Dear Vladimir: It's Not Us


By Anna Von Reitz

We are going to say some things that you, Mr. President, are already aware of. We say them because the American People are tragically unaware of these facts and they need to know:

American foreign trade and foreign policy have been controlled by Britain for 227 years.

This is one of the results of the original states contracting for "essential government services" from the United States, which is a British-controlled corporation headquartered in the foreign international enclave known as the District of Columbia.

Most Americans have never read the Definitive Treaty of Peace, Paris, 1783, which shows that King George remained the "prince" and "Arch-Treasurer" of the "United States". Most Americans have never read the actual Constitution and grasped the fact that this agreement gave Britain control of American Trade and Foreign Policy.

Postmasters and Post Masters, Who Has the Post Master?


by Anna Von Reitz

I keep returning to the old Gary Moore show, Tell the Truth, an early television game show where three people all claimed to be a particular individual and the contestant had to figure out who was scamming.

For example, the actual man to be identified might be a famous scientist credited with inventing the modern jet engine, and by a process of asking questions of the three men on the panel, the contestant would finally have to make a guess, and the real scientist would be asked to stand up.

"Will the real Felix Stonebrunner please stand up?"

Comment on Fulford Report of October 3, 2016: FED v. IMF


By Anna Von Reitz

I have been inundated with people wanting to know what I think about Fulford's report yesterday on the Federal Reserve.  There seems to be some confusion over what his report means.

It means that the Federal Reserve was involved in a gigantic counterfeiting scheme and that the United States Army is for reasons unknown (but which we can guess) standing around letting the Federal Reserve shred the evidence.

The facts as Fulford presents them are these--- a relatively small gold hoard's actual asset value was grossly inflated and then translated into "dollars" by the Federal Reserve.  This had the affect of counterfeiting 23 trillion dollars based on negligible assets.

Advantages of Just Saying----No! -- and Boycotting the Election


By Anna Von Reitz

In a few weeks Americans will be asked to choose between Hillary and Donald.

This is like being asked to choose between Capone and Gambizi.

No matter what you do, it's wrong.

I stopped voting years ago when I realized that their foreign corporation made it a crime for me (or any other American State National) to vote in their elections as of 1868.  Read the 14th Amendment.  Read it carefully. 

Nine million Americans were disenfranchised at that time, including my Great-Grandparents and Grandparents. 

It's a good thing I wised up and rescinded my "Voter Registration" because it is one of the major adhesion contracts they use to claim that you are a "United States Citizen" or a "citizen of the United States" and subject to every whim and demand they care to make.

If you really want to be free and stand in honor, you can't vote in their elections for the simple reason that it is a foreign corporation.  What business does a Spaniard have electing Irishmen?  None, right?

COLB's, Social Security, RV's, Gold Hoards and Ponzi Schemes


By Anna Von Reitz

Every week I get several inquiries from people wondering how to collect on their own "Certificate of Live Birth Bonds"--- known as COLB's.  They go online and check the amount attached to their NAME and are usually stunned to see sums in the millions of dollars.  They do a little quick math and think, "Hey!  I am a millionaire!" 

That's not what all this implies.

Let's begin with the fact that a bond is a promissory note --- an I.O.U. 

That means that all those millions attached to your NAME represent debt owed by good old JOHN MARK DOE and future generations of his children. Oh, there was money obtained, all right---- by the governmental services corporations using you, your labor, and your private and public property as collateral to back their debts.

They got the money and spent it, not you.  And now they are busily trying to shrug and point at you as their "surety"---- the one responsible for paying their debts off.  Those millions attached to your NAME represent credit extended to them  and debt and interest accrued against YOU.

This is done by "hypothecation"---- a nice name for making fraudulent claims  against another person's property without their knowledge or consent.  Think of it of in terms of being "presumed" to have co-signed a car loan for your irresponsible Cousin Bubba, only in this case, it's Uncle Sam. 

This is the biggest Ponzi Scheme on Earth, and you are the victim of it.

Update: Bank Foreclosures and Mountain Climbing


by Anna Von Reitz

Our focus is the "get to the root" of this evil, both in terms of its process and the mechanics of it.  This Fraud is go vast and has its tentacles into so many areas of our lives that it is like peeling an onion---- layer after layer after layer.

As a young woman I lived in Juneau, Alaska, and I was friends and housemates with some Californians.  They were all very athletic, leggy, tall, Nordic types who were out hiking in the summer and kayaking and fishing and skiing in the winter.  Me, not so much.  I am the more phlegmatic German type.  Squarish in build and practical by nature.  So when they began pestering me to climb a mountain for no reason but to climb a mountain I politely declined.

They it up, however, and after a year of being pestered to climb this stupid mountain for no reason, I grimly said, okay, we'll climb the @$#@@% mountain. 

Another comment adding to A Stern Warning About "Satanic Ritual Abuse"


by Anna Von Reitz

The victims have to stand up for themselves and do whatever works to obtain justice. 

If the police and DAs refuse to do their jobs, or worse, allow themselves to be used as tools to persecute the victims,  I have already told everyone what is necessary.  Organize your communities.  Bring your gripes to every pastor, every politician, every club, every civic organization, the schools, the churches, everyone---- and go after the bosses of the police and the DA's like a swarm of angry bees.  Make sure they lose their jobs.  Make sure their lives are living Hell. Hold public meetings.  Bang your dishes on the floor like angry dogs.  That's what we've had to do in Alaska.

And it works.  It's amazing how fast and efficient this is when you really decide that the line has been crossed and you are going to shove.  You get enough people on the move and your problem is going away. 

Sunday Prayers for Patriots - 20th Sunday after Pentecost

Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's
The Church's Year
Twentieth Sunday After Pentecost
The Introit of the Mass is an humble prayer, by which we acknowledge that we are punished for our disobedience:
INTROIT All that thou hast done to us, O. Lord, thou hast done in true, judgment: because we have sinned against thee, and have not obeyed thy commandments: but give glory to thy name, and deal with us according to the multitude of thy mercy. (Dan. III. 28.) Blessed are the undefiled in the way: who walk in the law of the Lord. (Fs. CXVIII.). Glory etc.
COLLECT Grant, we beseech Thee, O Lord, in Thy mercy to Thy faithful pardon and peace; that they may both be cleansed from all their offences, and serve Thee with a quiet mind. Thro'.
EPISTLE (Ephes. V. 15-21.) Brethren, See how you walk circumspectly, not as unwise, but as wise redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore, become not unwise, but understanding what is the will of God. And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury: but be ye filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord: giving thanks always for all things, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God and the Father; being subject one to another in the fear of Christ.
How may we redeem time?

New comment on A Stern Warning About "Satanic Ritual Abuse".


by Anna Von Reitz

I am not "unaware" of the problem. Nor am I unaware of the history of these vile practices and venal religions.  

I doubt that it exists to the extent you believe it does, because out of all the many people who have come to me and ranted about this, none of them proved to be victims themselves or to have any first-hand knowledge--- and that indicates a whole lot of gossip and hysteria going on. 

And this is why I have given everyone who is "pushing" this a stern warning.  If you do have any actual, factual, first-hand knowledge of such practices and fail to come forward and properly report these crimes, you are an accomplice to them. 

Even victims can be held accountable as accomplices if they don't report the crime, because their silence permits the continued abuse of others.

I have been told that many victims can't specifically identify their attackers because they were unknown adults or they used masks to hide their identities, however, with the breaking of several child-trafficking and sex slave kidnapping rings  in Britain and in the United States and elsewhere it is becoming possible to compile Rogues Galleries of known perverts.  Those visual files can be used to match these creeps to their deeds---but we cannot prosecute them without injured parties and complaints.

So I repeat--- telling me secondhand gossip all day long doesn't get the job done. Looking at photographs and connecting the dots and filing the sworn affidavits does.

I have been told that many victims are afraid of being murdered if they tell what happened to them.  Aren't they being "murdered" every day by the fear? 

Comment on Luis Ewing, Larry Becraft, and Admiralty Lawyers, et Alia


by Anna Von Reitz

Luis Ewing is a "jailhouse lawyer"--- self-taught in Admiralty Law only---who makes his living off other people's ignorance. In this he is like many, many other lawyers--- except that he didn't go to law school and often messes up his processes and procedures.

Luis tried to attach himself to me early on as a means to troll for clients--- people seeking help on my website.  He was jumping in and offering his services as if he was recommended and endorsed by me.

When I objected to this and exposed his unimpressive track record, he took it personally and decided that I was a potential danger to his income stream and went on the war path trying to discredit me, because I exposed his record----which all by itself discredits him. 

There is Nothing Occult


by Anna Von Reitz

The word “occult” means “hidden”----- and there is nothing hidden from you.  Absolutely nothing.  There are only things that you haven’t thought of, things you are afraid to know, and things that Evil Ones have kept you ignorant of, so as to better plunder your assets and control you. 
There is nothing occult in this world or upon this Earth.  God has declared that if you knock, it shall be opened, and if you ask, it will not be withheld.  You can experience this Truth for yourself any time you dare to knock upon His Door.
Not only is nothing hidden, more is constantly being revealed, directly, right under your noses.  The Kingdom of God that has always been within you and part of you offers you unending riches of life and knowledge and experience that you only need to be brave enough to accept. 
You are the product, part and parcel, of the greatest love story ever conceived.  You are witnessing magic and wonders that make anything in Harry Potter look pale as a child’s drawings.  You are the Children of God----literally.  The Earth is your playpen and schoolyard. 
And if the true knowledge of who and what you are has been hidden from you, it can only be said that in the deepest sense, you have hidden it from yourselves.
There is One Life that fills the Universe and all of this dimension, and you are all part of it as a twig is a part of a branch. The One Life flows through you and exists within you and connects you to all other life, and if there is any occult secret, it is simply your own stubborn unawareness of your connectedness to everyone and everything else that exists.
You are afraid of this awareness because you fear that you will lose your individual consciousness. This is the same reason that you fear death.  You think that your “self” will be lost and that what little you have will be taken from you.  You think that your memories, good and bad, and all that makes you who and what you are will melt away and cease to exist, simply because the physical body does. 
Imagine for a moment how silly and ungrateful and stupid this is?

A Stern Warning About "Satanic Ritual Abuse"


by Anna Von Reitz

Over the past year I have received literally thousands of letters, notes, emails, and phone calls from people all hyped-up about "Satanic Ritual Abuse"--- but they can't get their stories straight.  According to some, it's the Jews committing these heinous crimes, and according to others it's Catholics, or it's Muslims. Take your pick.

For no known reason, all three of these major religions -- none of which condone child sacrifice of any kind -- are suddenly participating in Satanic rites?
