The words "peacekeeping task force" come to us from a military background and context.
These words are heavy with the association of military occupation of countries overrun in the course of wars, and with re-establishing peace after domestic insurrections, and with multi-jurisdictional and multilateral public safety efforts in the wake of natural disasters -- all three.
When you say "Peacekeeping Task Force" the words carry a certain amount of foreboding and baggage, because they historically invoke thoughts of disasters and chaos and the circumstances that have necessitated their use in the past.
Nonetheless, we spoke those words shortly after the Continental Marshals Service was commissioned to carry on the duties of traditional Federal Marshals in May of 2015.
The Mission of the PKTF for the past ten years has been to introduce our lawful government to the world, to make other organizations aware of our existence, and to encourage joint operations and coordination of Public Safety efforts across multiple jurisdictions.
There are multiple populations in this country and over 300 separate viable nations present --- a fact that most Americans don't know and will be surprised to learn. In addition to the many, many private agencies hired as government subcontractors and the law enforcement organizations we are all familiar with, there are Village and Tribal Police Officers and Deputies, and cross-border organizations like Interpol, the Coast Guard, and INS.
There are literally hundreds of organizations and thousands of paid and volunteer officers on the job, locally, in your State, in international jurisdiction, and globally. Some of these organizations are traditional peacekeeping organizations, and some are law enforcement organizations, some have military associations, and many do not.
There are numerous professional organizations like the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, and Police Lodges maintained as, for example, the Fraternal Order of the Alaska State Troopers, and Police Unions that form a dizzying patchwork of mostly local organizations all over the country representing an estimated 640,000 law enforcement officers.
Though we may not always think of Federal Agencies beyond the FBI and United States Marshals in terms of peacekeeping or law enforcement there are numerous armed agencies including the BATF, INS, DEA, ICE, and DHS.

With our States being called into Session, our State Assembly Militias are also forming up as one of the Four Pillars that define State Assembly functions. Our traditional County Assemblies are also forming and so, our traditional County Sheriff offices are being filled, and American Common Law Courts are reappearing.
Our Federation of States is alive and well and operating in international jurisdiction, so that our Federal Marshals Service, (renamed Continental Marshals Service ten years ago), is also back in the saddle combating international and interstate crime.
Many people have been confused about the need for the PKTF and its Public Relations and Disaster Preparedness functions, but both these functions, rooted and centered in communications, are fundamental.
Without the PKTF there is literally no organization in this whole plethora of services across multiple jurisdictions that is tasked with forming communications networks and working relationships and partnerships linking law enforcement, peacekeeping and local sheriffs together.
The need for this has been dramatically demonstrated during Hurricane Helene and the firestorm on Maui, where disaster relief was curtailed and delayed and obstructed for lack of a coordinated disaster response.
In North Carolina, we even had to go to court to force FEMA to cooperate with State and Local relief efforts.
Of course, public safety and disaster relief organizations should work together, but they haven't been doing so for over three decades, for lack of what PKTF brings to the table: understanding of shared goals and missions, cross-jurisdictional pre-planning and partnerships, networked communications, and staged deployment.
With PKTF fully funded and on the job, we will be able to provide the safety net needed and as needed. That's important, folks, when you or your loved ones are facing an onrushing wildfire or flood or earthquake or epidemic.
It's the fundamental duty of the government to protect the people and their assets, but how are you going to do that, if the various levels of government, government agencies, and public safety organizations and officers at all levels don't talk to each other?
If you don't talk before the need arises, you wind up in court in North Carolina fighting bureaucratic turf battles while people die from exposure.
PKTF's Communications and Networking Mission when fully realized will prevent that from ever happening again.
There are other ways that PKTF's Communications and Networking Mission helps everything that everyone else is doing every day.
Politically motivated propaganda hit pieces like the one written by a 'Sociologist' and appearing at the Police.com website recently mischaracterizing American State Nationals as "Sovereign Citizens", fall flat when the policemen reading it know some peaceable, law abiding American State Nationals, and have also come to know that we aren't "citizens" --- much less "Sovereign Citizens".
Knowledge is empowering on all sides and for those acting in all capacities. Simply knowing that "Sovereign Citizen" is an oxymoron is enough to keep most people from using that label ever again.
Getting to know us, getting to know American History, understanding that what we are doing is good for every American, ultimately including everyone in Federal Service and everyone working for "federalized" State-of-State franchises, does away with the entire narrative that we are "dangerous insurrectionists".
When Law Enforcement Officers encounter our Living Law Firm Counselors and members of the PKTF, they are skeptical at first, but with some simple information they can check out for themselves, they rapidly put two and two together.
All the False Narratives go "Thud!" because PKTF and local volunteers made the effort to communicate, present themselves, and answer questions intelligently. Maybe they dropped off an article, a helpful brochure, or an invitation to a barbecue.
I recently observed that ignorance gives birth to prejudice by the hour. The job the PKTF has undertaken for the past ten years is to slow that roll and make those contacts, so that ignorance doesn't have a chance to spawn prejudice.
We all have our part of this work to do, and it's important that we do it.
Too often jurisdictional trespasses lead to confrontations and the failure of our public employees to honor their obligations and limitations can be infuriating -- but how are they supposed to know who we are and what we are doing, if we don't reach out and show them? Step by step?
None of us learned this stuff in public school. They stopped teaching it in most places in 1965. It's only us greybeards who know, and what's the average age of a Highway Patrolman?
It's fundamentally important for each State Assembly to establish a PFTK contact person or two or three, so that our State Assembly Militias are part of the public safety network and are kept abreast of new opportunities and developments.
Soon, the PKTF mission will be expanding.
As we have told you all on numerous occasions, the British Territorial occupation of our country is essentially illegal and has only been allowed to go on for such a long time, because we "failed" to provide a viable civilian peacekeeping taskforce to secure and oversee our own public elections, and provide for public safety in the interim.
The PKTF's networking and communications mission remains as vital as ever, but ultimately, the PKTF is our "civilian peacekeeping taskforce" in the making.
We are not here to replace the military in any sense of armed struggle; we are merely doing what should have been done in 1865, preparing the way for our own public elections, and providing a platform for joint operations ensuring public safety until we fully transition to our lawful peacetime government.
Like many aspects of everything that has gone into this effort, we have had to grow our oaks from acorns, in a slow, organic, grassroots fashion. Nothing we have learned or earned has come easy or happened fast.
Our resources have often been pitiful compared to the challenges we've faced: as Jim said one night early on, "Well, we've got two cans of tuna, and one can of Pork and Beans...."
And I said, "Not even any SPAM?"
We ate the two cans of tuna, one each, and went to bed.
In the morning, we had one can of Pork and Beans left....
You can be sure that your American Government is American. We've all paid the price to volunteer, and so has PKTF. I am very proud of these men and women, and now that you have a better understanding of who they are and why they are and their role
as we go forward, please join me in supporting PKTF.
Assemblies, if you haven't yet named a PKTF contact, please do so now.
