Are you looking for Solutions for America in Distress
You are in the right place to find out about what is really going on behind the scenes in the patriot movement in America, including solutions from Oathkeepers, Anna Von Reitz, Constitutional Sheriffs, Richard Mack, and many more people who are leading the charge to restore America to freedom and peace. Please search on the right for over 9600 articles.
You will find some conflicting views from some of these authors. You will also find that all the authors are deeply concerned about the future of America. What they write is their own opinion, just as what I write is my own.
There are all sorts of definitions of the word "state", but when we are
talking about government we are talking about either (1) a "non-material
juridical entity" operating in the international jurisdiction of the sea, or,
(2) we are talking about a "material juridical territory that is geographically
defined" on the land.
I keep harping on this until I am blind, so I really, truly do hope that
you are all paying attention.....
Law comes from religion. Religion--- what we believe in, what we consider
to be right and wrong--- defines what "law" we live under. That's the way it is
and the way it has always been.
According to Semiramis (also known as the "Queen of Heaven", the "Great
Abomination", the "Mother of All Whores" and the inventor of idolatry) if you
want to rule over people, all you need is a "pillar and a post".
What you do, is you take one object---- a tall vertical supporting
column--- and you label it a "pillar" and you take another tall vertical
supporting column, and label it a "post", thereby creating a difference between
them.
Even if the difference is merely a name or a label, it is enough to fool
people into thinking a difference exists.
This is the essence of "divide and conquer".
You divide people using the same methods. You apply labels to them and
exploit their differences: black and white, rich and poor, short and tall,
Catholic and Lutheran, Republican and Democrat, Palestinian and Israeli.
This is one of the essential esoteric teachings of Freemasonry worldwide
and it is the foundation plank of the Babylonian Slave System which is now
masquerading as the lawful governments of the world.
Just call it something different.
Exploit the differences.
United States v. United States of America.
But what happens when we wake up like the dumb beasts on Christmas Eve and
decide to look and think and talk?
Anyone who has bothered to listen to news outside the box for the past
several years has heard rumors of vast hordes of "Chinese gold" in Indonesia,
etc., etc.
You've also heard mindless claims that all the gold of Africa got mined and
transported over the Silk Road to China, because, supposedly, the Chinese would
only take gold in trade.
That is all plain out-and-out nonsense. The Chinese traditionally traded
in jade and in food, because then as now, they had a large impoverished
population and relatively little arable land.
The gold in Indonesia is Spanish gold that happens to be under the control
of Chinese people. Ferdinand Marcos was Chinese, not Filipino.
The gold was shipped to Indonesia by Spaniards and by trustees of Spanish
hordes as long ago as the 1400's. Check out the Crown of St. Stephens---- a
bank chartered in the 1400's ---to begin to get a clue of just how active
Spanish (and Catholic) interests have been and for how long.
Some Americans--at least the ones I consort with--- know that the Petro
Dollar was engineered by Kissinger because we are consistently the top EXPORTER
of refined oil products in the world and always have been.
(Get a clue: we are also the main supplier of guns and weapons and "defense
supplies and materials". We never re-tooled our industries for peace time after
World War II. We kept right on chugging out the same old crap and developing
new versions of it and promoting wars for profit all over the world.)
Other Americans think that we are in constant dire need of oil and can
never get enough oil----- and don't make the distinction between crude oil ----
the raw material that we can't get enough of, and refined oil products--- which
we can't offload fast enough.
"Let us therefore make him a little chamber, and put a little bed in it for him and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick, that when he cometh to us, he may abide there" (IV Kings 4:13). Such was the Sunamite woman's regard for the prophet Eliseus, that she would make such preparations for his entertainment! Will we do as much for Christ who is ready to come to us? Take pains, O Christian, to occupy this night in pious thoughts, and aspirations, for the love of God and for the good of your own soul, making yourself worthy to receive the graces which He is ready when He comes, to give you. Think how Mary, who was near her time, and Joseph her spouse obedient to the Imperial command, and perfectly submissive to the will of God, journeyed with the greatest inconvenience to Bethlehem, and when, because of the multitude of people, they found no place to receive them they took refuge, as God willed it, in a most miserable stable, at the extreme end of the town. What love does not the Savior deserve, who for love of us so humbled Himself!
COLLECT O God, who makest us rejoice in the yearly expectation of the feast of our redemption: grant, that we who cheerfully receive Thy only-begotten Son as a Redeemer, may behold without fear the same Lord Jesus Christ, coming as our judge. Through our Lord.
Thanks to George Hudson for sending this out. Paul Stramer Dear
Friends and Patriots,
Dorothy
and I traveled to the Nevada Southern Detention Center in Pahrump over the
weekend to visit five Idaho inmates, Ammon Bundy, Scott Drexler, Eric Parker,
Steven Stewart and Todd Engel. Ammon and Scott are Dorothy’s constituents in
District 8. This is a very difficult time for these men to be away from family
and loved ones as they spend Christmas alone with little console.
We
found the men to be mostly in good spirits but under duress and living under
very unpleasant circumstances. 96 inmates share a common cell, two stack bunk
beds 4” apart, open showers and toilets. There is no privacy whatsoever. There
is little more than a dog run for limited exercise. Inmates get 1 hour per week
to converse with a visitor over a video phone. They might as well have been in
Afghanistan. We talked to each man getting their story, asking what we could do
for them. The weekend was emotionally draining for Dorothy and I, yet we faced
none of the foreboding unknown. Dorothy and I are both convinced that their
incarceration is a miscarriage of justice that must be corrected.
I
know many of you to be patriots concerned about our country and what remains of
optimistic opportunities once realized on the rugged and untamed Western lands.
These men are political prisoners who will pay a horrible price if we do not act
on their behalf. They have been falsely accused under the guise of domestic
terrorism when in fact they were defending their right to assemble and redress
the government under 1st Amendment guarantees.
I was
shocked to discover how under-handed the authorities in charge of this case have
proceeded. Not unlike any tin pot dictator’s decree, evidence that would shed
light on the true disposition of this case has been sealed by Judge Navarra,
(selected by Harry Reid for an Obama appointment). Damning evidence that would
disclose the government’s true agenda while exposing their unjust zeal to lock
away these witnesses of the truth forever.
Charges
have been levied that would send these men to prison for life including
conspiracy against the government and criminal violence. For such alleged
crimes, the accused have been remanded without bail to prison as dangerous and
possible flight risks. Interesting that it took the government about two years
to come to that conclusion. The stand-off occurred in 2014, their incarceration
was in March of this year.
The
judge has divided the cases into three trials. The Idaho “gunmen” include, Eric
Parker, Scott Drexler, Todd Engel and Steven Stewart who are in the first tier
set for February 6, 2017. I plan to attend the trial in Las Vegas with one of
my sons. I hope that you can be there too if only for moral support.
Ammon,
Ryan and Cliven Bundy will be among those in the second trial due in May and the
rest in August.
We
hope to get a State Attorney General whose constituents are affected by this
case to open the sealed documents and bring transparency. You can help too,
please write your displeasure with this perversion of justice directly to
President Elect Trump at the links below:
Please
watch the historical overview video below. This is the first of three such
testimonials from Ammon Bundy. I will forward the others as they appear and link
to my Facebook page so you can share accordingly.
The
following is a video put together by Eric Parker that adds structural context to
the events and the upcoming trial.
Your
thoughts and prayers are appreciated for these men who stood their ground in
defense of property rights. Please help them the best you can and support the
producers of the above videos.
In
Liberty,

Mr. Trump, you need to get a big education and quick. You need to talk to people like Ron Paul, Dr. Edwin Vieira Jr., Stewart Rhodes, and Anna Von Reitz, and you need to figure out who your real enemies are. Do it yesterday, and stop appointing banksters to positions of power.

Brandon Smith Warns
the System Is Crashing: “Prepare for Bank Confiscations, Shortages,
Insurgency”
For those who have been following along, it must eventually occur to them
to ask: well, then, who or what is the real enemy?
If Britain and the Holy See---which were supposed to be our Trustees and
Allies--- are actually our enemies, then who are our friends? The Russians?
The Chinese?
We have heard the words "divide and conquer" since we were in
Kindergarten. It's what we did when the two Big Kids ganged up on the 500 First
Graders.
We've heard it, and to some extent, we've all done it--- yet, somehow, I
have proof that we haven't understood it--- haven't quite fully grasped the
concept.
The Revolution: Brits against Colonists
The French Revolution: Monarchists against their Serfs
The Civil War: North against South
The First World War: Brits/French against Germans
The Russian Revolution: Monarchists against their Workers
The Second World War: Brits/French against Germans
Democrats and Republicans
Robber Barons and Labor Unionists
Palestinians and Israelis
Are you beginning to see a pattern here? There are two sides to every
conflict. Why is that?
Have you listened to the arguments and accusations about purported Russian
spying and hacking --supposedly to interfere in the US elections?
I have taught school all my life. Even as a teenager, I taught Church
School.
I've taught grade school, middle school and high school students and as a
TA in college I have taught adults, too. One of the things that teaching forces
you to do, is to learn.
Ironically, you can't teach anyone else anything without learning things
yourself. You are just learning different things than your students.
They are learning to spell or to write coherent sentences or unravel the
meaning of statistics or discovering the evidence of electrical current or
learning the names of stars.
You are learning how people think and how they react to new information and
being tasked to answer questions nobody in your text books bothered to
answer.
On Friday December 9th, Stewart Rhodes and I jumped in my Radio van and headed for Ogden Utah for a one day meeting of leaders in northern Utah. We had people from Utah, Wyoming and from as far away as California attend the 4 hour meeting and many met for dinner afterward. I must say that I really enjoyed the trip, especially being able to visit with Stewart one on one for about 24 hours of driving.
Of course many of you know that my focus in Oath Keepers is communications, and Stewart asked me to outline for you what we are recommending for gear, and training, and kind of an operational roadmap for your local groups.
I can only tell you what works for us. I live outside of Eureka Montana about 20 miles from Stewart. North Lincoln county is a wonderful place to call home. My wife and I raised and homeschooled 8 children here, and I was a logger for 26 years here and in 4 other states including Alaska. But Eureka is where we love to be.
Here we have helped to build a rather large Amateur radio community. We have about 100 people who are monitoring our network, pretty much 24/7 / 365. We have 4 different communities within about 25 miles in the valley, and they are all tied together with radio. Some of those are ham radio operators, some have a GMRS license, and some refuse to get a license. All are welcome. So how do we do that? How do we tie all these people together?
On July 11th of 2016 I reported that we had 1003 subscribers to the automated mailing system for the two websites. www.annavonreitz.com and www.montanablog.us
That figure has increased by about double in just about 6 months. We now have 2002 current subscribers who are staying with it. This does not count the additional 519 people who have taken a subscription for a while and have dropped out for one reason or another, or those who's email address was not deliverable.
So it took over a year to get to roughly a thousand people, and now just a half year to get to two thousand.
Our military, like all major militaries of the world, has a long and
despicable history of using our soldiers and the "domestic population"----
anyone unlucky enough to be considered either a "United States Citizen" or a
"citizen of the United States" as guinea pigs for weapons tests and for drugs
and all sorts of other heinous invasive procedures.
The reason this is allowed to go on is that when you sign up and enter the
US military you become a MUNICIPAL CITIZEN---- a slave, literally, subject to
the whims of Congress and the DOD. So you have unknowingly given monsters
control of your body unto death, and they are free to cause your death in any
way they please---- send you into battle, let your freeze to death in quarters,
abandon you at Benghazi, inject you with horrible drug concoctions, expose you
to "spent uranium" artillery shells, Agent Orange----- whatever.
Our actual government is in tatters. It is hanging on by a ragged thread.
It exists mostly at the township and county levels and even those bulwarks are
being undermined and downplayed and "enclosed" legally by "Councils of County
Governments".
If we don't wake to hell up and tend to our own knitting---- there won't be
any knitting to tend, no Republic left. Our enemies will claim that there are
no actual American state nationals left. They will point at all the bogus paper
records and say---- all these people are United States Citizens or citizens of
the United States..... there's nobody left. All the American state nationals
are dead.....their governments, the actual sovereign states and their land
jurisdiction governments like the Wisconsin state and the Wisconsin State are no
longer populated, no longer funded, no longer staffed by anyone.
And then they will claim that everything that belonged to our grandparents
is "abandoned property without known heirs" and they will claim that they have
established "exclusive legislative jurisdiction" over us, and they will take
over and that will be that. We will be serfs serving the New World
Order----which is just a name for the Old World Order wearing new suits.
Their "new" order is nothing but feudalism imposed via legal chicanery.
What's new about that?
Al Capone's bookkeeper was a very talented and
engaging young accountant named Easy Eddie O'Hare. Easy Eddie gave us O'Hare
International Airport in Chicago, thanks to his war hero son. And he gave us
the system of accounting that he designed for Big Al, via the FBI and IRS, and
later adopted by the Government Accounting Office in 1946.
This is officially called "Double Entry Accrual
Bookkeeping" or more commonly, "keeping two sets of books".
The IRS and FBI found out about this nifty
trick accounting when they were investigating ---- and prosecuting ---- Al
Capone. They liked it so much that the "Government of the United States"
officially adopted it following the Second World War.
The concept is simple. Split the "streams of
income" into budgeted and non-budgeted categories. Then present only the
budgeted amount for public notice and discussion. People will naturally assume
that the budgeted amount is all there is and not ask about the non-budgeted
income----which becomes a giant secret slush fund.
The first income tax was called "Peter's Pence" and it was collected along
with a Confession of Sins on April 15 every year in both England and France
beginning in the early 1100's as an extra mandatory "offering" to pay for the
cost of the Crusades.
Sound familiar? A tax on income..... a confession (filing)....due on April
15....to support the cost of a war?
Cousin Bubba --- Call Out to Serious Historical
Researchers
Yes, I have groups of serious historical researchers working with
me from all over the world now, and that’s great--- but this morning we are all
being called upon to consider a question of such gravity that it requires asking
for even more help from more people, indeed, for everyone on the planet to get
involved to whatever extent is practical.
Here is what has surfaced over the past few years of prodding and
poking at the BEAST--- the Belgian Electronic Asset System. To
begin getting a handle on this, read the following reprint of a Lexology news
blurb from three and a half years ago:
The past
few days have been rife with controversy about Donald Trump, and particularly,
Donald Trump’s supposed feud with the CIA, which the Mainstream Media is busily
promoting as a Big Deal.
What is
Trump actually saying, from his own mouth?
1. The
CIA doesn’t really know that Russia hacked anything about Hillary Clinton.
2. That he doesn’t need to be told the same things day after day
as a briefing.
3. The
information he is receiving has become politicized – tweaked and groomed to
serve political agendas rather than being served up straight.
Okay,
well, let’s just take Donald Trump at his word. He has heard what
the CIA had as proof that the Russians did anything wrong, and in his opinion,
the proof was lacking. So he has asked for further investigation
into the matter to get to the bottom of it and find out where the proverbial
Bear went --- or did not go – through the buckwheat.
Controversy is state I’ve learned to live with, a badge of honor that often stings. It’s a badge the Bundy family possesses in abundance, because you stand up, you will always be attacked. My brother and I stood with the Bundy’s in 2014; we saw the truth and we felt the danger. When Oregon happened there was no question in our minds that these men and woman deserved the support of all who love liberty. Their message was pure. But much of America did not feel the same. Why?
Like many activists and prisoners, from patriots to the natives. The hate for the Bundy’s comes from lies who’s intent is to make the story of a warrior misunderstood. Our “justice” system goes to great lengths to ensure the real story does not reach the masses. This works because we don’t really want to know how bad it is. That’s why it’s important to share a story no matter how you feel about a person. Watch it and make sure others do the same, sending it to those who know and to those who do not.
People often say, there’s nothing we can do. But I do something every day and if you will set aside differences and do something with me, we will set this nation free.
Today more bogus claims from Keith Livingway and "The United States of
America" organization (being run out of Post Office boxes in Costa Rica) have
surfaced. In addition to the counterfeit legal tender being issued by these
hucksters and other outrageous acts aimed at attempted constructive fraud
against us, they have issued a commercial claim alleging that birthright
citizenship exists only in the District of Columbia and not the actual sovereign
states.
And guess what? They are actually right about that---- "birthright
citizenship" equals "hereditary serfdom" --- and what would the free and
sovereign states of America be doing practicing hereditary serfdom?
I am very happy to report that Frank O’Collins is not dead and not
really missing, either. He is continuing his work, which is good
news for all honest people. The publication of my last article
about the Reign of Heaven Society and “The United States of America” caused some
jingling and jangling of the grapevine between us. I renew my hope
to meet Frank in the flesh someday.
Based on additional new information, Frank O’Collins never
completed his studies with the Jesuits and did not accept a position with the
Vatican. My sources were confusing our Frank O’Collins with
another older O’Collins ---- also a very serious scholar --- who left the
priesthood and the Jesuit Order some years ago.
All that is good to get cleared up and on the record and corrected,
but the real “rest of the story” as Paul Harvey used to say, is that the Reign
of Heaven Society has nothing whatsoever to do with Frank O’Collins, is not his
brainchild, and is in fact plagiarism and bastardization of his work by……Keith
Livingway.
That’s right. The same man who thinks
that you can buy and sell trustee offices and who pretends to run something
called “The United States of America” out of post office boxes in Costa Rica,
has plagiarized and twisted O’Collins’ work to create his own spin off
organization and deceitfully marketed it “as if” it was associated with
O’Collins and his vision of Ucadia.
This gross disrespect and misuse of O’Collin’s intellectual
property is a travesty of the first order. So now we know and we
know who is responsible.
Let’s do a quick fact check against the deceptions promoted by
Keith Livingway:
From Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's The Church's Year On this day and the ensuing eight days, the Catholic Church celebrates with special solemnity the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. What does the Catholic Church understand by the Immaculate Conception? By the Immaculate Conception she does not understand that great grace by which Mary preserved herself pure from every, even the least, actual sin; for, as concerns this, the Church has long since declared that Mary never sinned: nor does she understand by it her continual virginity, for it has been for a long time a doctrine of faith that both before and after the birth of her divine Son Mary remained a pure virgin; nor yet that she was sanctified before birth; as were the Prophets Jeremias and John the Baptist, who were both conceived in sin, but by a special graceof God were released from it before their birth; neither does she understand by it the conception of Christ from the Holy Ghost, that is, that Mary unstained conceived the Son of God of the Holy Ghost; and without the assistance of man, for this was always the unalterable doctrine of the Church: she does understand by it that exalted favor, that unshared privilege, by which the Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first moments of herconception, by a special grace and favor on the part of God in reference to the merits of Jesus, our Saviour, was preserved from every stain of original sin. What has until now been held by the Church in regard to this privilege?
Re: What I Know About the "Reign of Heaven Society" and "The United States of America" Part 3
Most things that sound too good to be true are too good to be true and to the
extent that we naively believe them we are disappointed and oftentimes
endangered by our own hopes-- because such hopes keep us waiting for someone or
something beyond ourselves to come save us, change things, and make things
better.
For many years now there has been talk and rumors of NESARA
being enacted "secretly" and even at gunpoint.
My Mother worked with and
for General Schwesinger. I was young, but I remember the major points. They
fought it all the way through the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court agreed
with them--- but nothing happened.
Why?
Re: What I Know About the "Reign of Heaven Society" and "The United States of America" Part 2
I am a Hapsburg and a von Mecklenburg and a von Strelitz and Grimaldi and von Liechtenstein and many other "bloodlines" run in my veins, but as with all things, we all have free will. If you bother to look you will learn that I am connected by blood to all the ruling families of Europe and that my particular bloodlines go back to very ancient times.
Think of it in terms of dog breeds--- Dachshunds are born to hunt badgers and retrievers are bred to fetch. The bloodline families were bred to rule-- but what we rule is, for most of us, a choice. I have chosen to rule myself and find that a profound enough challenge to consume a lifetime, so that I have no wish to control or rule anyone else, nor any need to be ruled myself by others--- which is perhaps also very much to the point.
Too many people refuse to rule themselves, and so wind up being ruled by others. They avoid the rigors of self-governance, and so fall under the domination of tyrants and con artists. And liars.
Hello? Earth to Richard? I am an American, born and bred in Wisconsin, to parents who were also born and bred in the Midwest. My Father served in the 8th Army Air Force in WWII. Got the picture?
The Reign of Heaven Society was founded by Frank
O’Collins, a Jesuit priest who was also a scion of the Collins Bloodline
Illuminati. He denounced the Roman Catholic Church as the “Roman
Cult” and left a very privileged position in the Vatican as a result of his own
research into the history and law and politics of the Church.
Frank was, and perhaps is----he vanished some time ago and nobody
knows where he is, whether he is alive or dead----one of the most brilliant
scholars of this or any other generation, and certainly one of the most generous
and courageous in sharing his knowledge. He ferreted out
information that makes Edward Snowden’s revelations pale by comparison and
shared it on his websites.
He systematically exposed the corruption and the self-interested
venal practices of the Roman Catholic Church as opposed to the Universal
Catholic Church, and explained in detail the odd hybrid that the Roman Catholic
Church became under Constantine and the editing pen of St. Jerome.
The Roman Catholic Church is in fact an amalgamation of both
Christian and pagan Satanic practices of the Ancient Sumerians, and uses both
The Truth and The Lie to gain and retain and exercise power. Thus, like the
society it spawns, the Roman Catholic Church is an institution at perpetual war.
Not only was I born and raised in America (Wisconsin), my
Father was born and raised in Illinois. Any attempt to misrepresent or
mischaracterize me as a foreigner or a citizen or agent of any foreign country
is nothing but a Big, Fat Lie.
The words “United States of America” are not protected by any
copyright or trademark, so any fool can claim to be or to represent the “United
States of America”--- and that is what this group of expatriates in Costa Rica
is attempting to do.
They are also attempting to allege that “Postmaster General” is
equivalent to “United States Post Master”--- which just isn’t so, either.
These people might be well-intentioned, but they are
ignorant as Pat’s Pig and none too careful about telling the truth or checking
the facts before blowing off their mouths and misleading others.
There are now --by my count-- four (4) different organizations
claiming to be the federal government owed to the people of the United States
and none of them are real. Not one.
There’s the “Republic for the united States of America” (RuSA)
which is claiming to be the federal government. There’s “The United States of
America” from Costa Rica claiming to be the federal government. There’s the
“Unity States of America” from Colorado claiming to be the federal government.
And last but not least, there is “The New Republic”--- a French-sponsored group
that I call “Le Neu Republique”.
Are any of these groups the actual legitimate government?
Today is the yearly feast of Saint Nicholas, Bishop and Confessor, and Cannonized Saint of the Catholic Church.
Here is a little history about the real Santa from the "New Roman Missal by the Reverend Fr. F. X. Lasance 1937. December 6th. St. Nicholas Archbishop of Myra in Asia Minor, from the childlike innocence of his own life, and his devout care for the young, is looked upon as the patron of children. He died in the middle of the Fourth Century, and seven hundred years later his holy relics were translated to Bari in Italy. Because of the power he exercised over flames, we pray that through his intercession we may be preserved from the flames of hell. He is remembered for the money which he threw in a window that three young girls might have a dowry for their marriage. Because of this gift his name has become associated with giving and children thank Santa Claus (or St. Nicholas) for their presents at Christmastime.
And from the Lives of the Saints, by Omer Englebert, 1951
Few saints enjoy such great popularity and few are credited with so many miracles. Sts. John Chrysostom, Peter Damian, and Bonaventure have vied in eloquence with one another in telling of the merits and the goodness of Saint Nicholas. Born at Patara in Lycia, he visited the Thebaid, ruled the great monastery, was imprisoned for a time for his faith, and ended his life as archbishop of Myra. It is doubtless the story of his restoring life to the children put in the salting tub which caused him to become the patron and the annual benefactor of school children. St. Bonaventure tells the story in a sermon. St. Nicholas was, it seems, on his way to the Council of Nicaea, when he entered an inn whose owner, not content with having killed two young boys for the sake of their meagre purse, had cut them up and was about to sell them piecemeal to his clients. The bishop restored them to life and then converted this murderer. Another famous tale is that of the three marriageable girls who did not succeed in getting married. Poor and not knowing what to do with them, their father was about to put them into a house of ill fame. Nicholas took advantage of the fact that this odious man slept with his window open, to go one night and throw a purse filled with gold into his room. A few days later, the eldest daughter was married. In the same way, Nicholas delivered to the second the dowry she needed. Soon she, too, found a husband. The saint was discovered at the moment when he was throwing up from the street the purse destined for the third. The father, who had been hiding in the shadow, recognized him; he fell at his feet, weeping in penitence and gratitude, and from then on did not cease to sing his praises everywhere. ____________________________________
So the tradition is based on real events about a real person who set an example of generosity, morality, and giving for all of us to follow. Pray to him and ask him to obtain for you what you really need both in temporal and especially spiritual gifts.
We talk about being in “the right state of mind” or being “in a
state of confusion”.
We talk
about the “Maine State Capitol” and the “state of Maine” and the “State of
Maine” and the “STATE OF MAINE”.
WT…..???
The fact is that there are “states” and there are “states”.
If you
look up the legal definition of “state” you will be overwhelmed by the reek of
deliberate confusion and the alternative to Shinola. W
This past week we have discussed the fact that the original union
of states created by The Articles of Confederation (1781) was destroyed by
operation of law in 1860. There is no union of sovereign states
and hasn’t been since 1860, except for the undefeated union formed by the
Confederate States of America.
There is no federation of sovereign states operating as The United
States of America. No such federal government.
I can
hear the breath being sucked in and people saying, “WHAAAT?
Whaddarutalkinabout?” And right after that a stunned
silence and the same folks asking, “Where does that leave us?”
