The past couple of weeks I have heard so many absurd and no doubt, some deliberate misinterpretations of the Federation and me and my actions, that I can only wonder where some people come by such fecund, yet dark and ugly, imaginations.
Actual money, like energy, is neither created nor destroyed. Gold is gold, silver is silver. When we cashed in the silver Bearer Bond on international video, we cashed it into our own national treasury account in our own chartered international trade bank functioning as The Global Family Bank.
When the bank's Director, Hunter Toyofuku-Aki, illegally and immorally commandeered our bank and misused its name and assets and unlawfully converted it into a licensed British Territorial Corporation, he had no authority whatsoever to do so. He committed an international crime of unlawful conversion and piracy, whether he knew that or not.
The silver returned to our Treasury is still ours, unarguably. Not his. Not any British Territorial Bank impersonating our bank. They are operating in a commercial capacity under commercial law and the commercial law both UCC and traditional Law Merchant agree: possession by pirates does not change ownership.
Any and all other precious metals are also ours, not his, not theirs.
This is a matter to be resolved diplomatically with Marco Rubio who is the Officer designated by the British Parliament as the one responsible and the Provost Marshal's Office which is responsible under International Law for arresting criminals engaged in these sorts of activities.
When Hunter crossed that line and we tore up the bank charter on July 1st 2026, all assets in the bank as of that date were ours and anything he accrues after that date, will be ours.
We have all the records. We have the cashed-in bonds.
This isn't going to be resolved overnight, but it will be resolved and it will be resolved in our favor.
Rumors that I somehow personally benefited from any of this are patently absurd. Hunter made very occasional donations in support of the Federation which he described as coming from him personally, out of his own pockets. If those funds came from any other source including the portal accounts he maintained, that is beyond my knowledge.
My understanding is that he and his friend, Mr. Fondse, who collaborated when Hunter rubber-stamped my signature on documents without my knowledge or consent, are under investigation and/or on the run for their activities and more.
I am sorry that this happened. I never like to see people in trouble. even though it's their own doing and their own fault. I certainly don't like to see American businesses illegally latched upon and commandeered in detriment to the Public Interest. And I certainly had no part in this result.
Another set of gross misunderstandings revolve around the "retirement" of Paul Pappas from his position as Chief of the Continental Marshals Service. He was allowed to retire in lieu of being fired.
That was a mercy on my part that I somewhat regret, in view of the vicious and unreasoning slander campaign that he and his wife, Vickie, have unleashed. Apparently, Paul was never vetted for his position and never properly background checked, a lapse that nobody seems able or willing to account for in any of the offices responsible.
Paul and Hunter Toyofuku-Aki came on board at about the same time, and mysteriously, both benefited from incomplete background checks. Neither one of them would have ever survived the vetting process under normal circumstances and we have spent the last six weeks investigating how this happened and how our process failed.
Rest assured that this won't happen again.
Paul was let go for Cause. That cause is adequately demonstrated by a meeting of the Continental Marshals which was taped and which has been widely distributed. Anyone who hasn't listened to it, is cordially invited to do so.
The bulk of the meeting was spent in paranoid speculations about the Peacekeeping Task Force and what the PKTF was doing, instead of concentrating on any worthwhile positive work-oriented discussion about the Continental Marshals Service and its mission objectives and organizational efforts.
Instead of building an effective bulwark against international crime, the Marshals under Paul's leadership were consumed with divisive internal gossip targeting another organizational component of our own effort.
The negative navel-staring and gossip mentality continued on with respect to the situation with the bank, with Paul and other members of the Marshals Service engaging in groundless suppositions about me and voicing opinions prejudicial to Due Process.
Read that: under Paul's leadership the men responsible for protecting our Due Process rights engaged in violating them.
We are not here to gossip or mistrust each other or give into vacuous speculations. We are here to get a job done and to triumph over those elements that would sow dissention and betray our trust in them.
It was our trust in Paul and in Hunter that allowed them to do so much damage to our operations for so long. Regretfully, they proved, as if on cue, like a tag team, that our trust was unjustified.
From now on, more of our limited resources will have to be devoted to oversight and management of functions that should have been the responsibility of the men entrusted with them.
Part of the gossip spewing out at the Marshal's meeting was designed to promote mistrust of the Peacekeeping Task Force and its operations, false accusations and misinterpretations of parts of the PKTF Mission Statement taken out of context, and claims that the PKTF was stepping across jurisdictional boundaries and interfering in our Sheriff's Offices and State Militia functions, and requiring "reports" from the Continental Marshals Service.
A civilian Peacekeeping Task Force, unlike a military Peacekeeping Task Force, does not work on assumption of a separate operational command established under a rank hierarchy.
A civilian force depends on the voluntary and pre-arranged cooperation of multiple organizations from numerous levels and jurisdictions of government for the common good of the people and the country as a whole.
During Hurricane Helene and the subsequent disaster on Maui, there was no such prior established cooperation, with the result that FEMA and our volunteers faced off at gunpoint instead of helping the flood victims, and pets and people left homeless by the fire disaster on Maui were left completely destitute, hungry, and hopeless for no good reason.
We pay billions every year for disaster preparedness and public safety programs that are so disorganized and dysfunctional that they are objectively worthless and fail to do the actual job of protecting people and property.
That missing coordination and pre-arranged cooperation is what the PKTF is working toward, so that next time there will be a plan and a prearranged delegation of duties, priorities, and authorities in place --- and not by some executive fiat --- by prior planning and mutual consent, for mutual benefit.
The rumors taken out of context revolve around the word "training" in the PKTF Mission Statement, which could be taken as the PKTF having responsibility to train our Sheriffs and Militias and Continental Marshals. That Mission Statement is talking about providing educational materials and outreach and training in Common Law for de facto Sheriffs.
We hope and pray to God that our own Sheriffs and Militia Leaders will have sense enough to take advantage of the educational materials and videos and services we are offering the Corporate Sheriffs and National Guard too, but the PKTF won't be landing on your doorsteps with the expectation that they need to train anyone in the Assemblies.
That responsibility is up to all of you, and you should be welcoming the support of the PKTF and making use of it, to bolster your own understanding of how all the various components of the federal and state-of-state and agency functions are supposed to work and how your own functions are supposed to interact with them as the American Government comes back online again.
We don't fear our employees. We train our employees and we train ourselves, so that when push comes to shove, we can work together to save lives and property.
The "reports" requested of the Continental Marshals by the PKTF were simple inquiries that, after five years, should have been no-brainers for the Marshals to answer and share with anyone, including members of the Assemblies or the General Public.
The fact is that the Marshals couldn't answer such simple questions as their staffing levels within a multi-state area, because they hadn't done the work to train additional Marshals and hadn't been led to undertake the organizational development to include Deputy positions, or even study the Constitutions that they are entrusted to enforce.
Let that sink in for a minute.
The development plan we entrusted to Paul never happened, never even got seriously discussed. The Marshals were being held back and rendered meaningless by a leader who demanded their absolute loyalty to him and each other, but no loyalty to the actual job and the people depending on them to perform it.
All they were being taught to do beyond the basic history, was to spy on PKTF and talk trash about the Federation.
So stop talking trash about PKTF. They know what they are doing. The question is -- do you know what you're doing? And are you making headway toward meaningful goals?
We've been working on the Continental Marshals reorganization and we are opening up for recruitment with efficient vetting, credentials, and training.
Finally, there is a gross misunderstanding being promoted about the
nature of nations and what it means when I say there are over 500 nations present on the land mass defined as The United States. And there always have been.
As part of the confusion between the American Government and the British Territorial Government, another part of our history and our law has been obscured.
Our Forefathers and Founders always recognized the Native Nations. They never contested their existence or their right to exist. They fostered cooperative relations with the Native Nations. Consulted with the Native Nations. Included the Native Nations in trade negotiations and natural resource decisions. They honored the right of Natives to have their own governments and rule their own lives. That's why they never taxed Natives.
In short, the American Government fostered an entirely different relationship with the Native Nations that live here with us -- an honorable, respectful, neighborly tradition -- that has been overshadowed and largely forgotten as a result of the vicious elitist policies of the British Territorial U.S. Government.
Our American Government recognizes the nationalities of the Native Nations and always has. I keep saying this and it needs to sink in: a Winnebago child born in Wisconsin is a Dual National from birth, both a member of the Ho-Chunka Nation and a Wisconsinite.
Any ASN in any Assembly in this country is able to do the same thing, and some have no choice, because they have come here as immigrants from countries that do not release nationality claims.
For example, a Mexican who legally immigrated to this country, goes through the process to become a U.S. Citizen, and then further adopts an American State as their forever home -- say, California -- has Dual Nationality as a Californian and as a Mexican.
So when Chief Fast Horse gets on a soap box and declares the "sovereignty" of the Lakota Nation, he isn't saying anything new or different or objectionable. The Lakota have always been a sovereign nation and nobody here, nobody in the American Government, has disputed that for over 250 years. We aren't going to start.
Getting along together, respecting each other, everyone supporting everyone else's property rights, all of us participating in our respective governments and being proud of our status as living people is an essential part of building that better world we are all striving for.
America, to use Carl Sandburg's metaphor, is a melting pot. We're all in it together. Many races, many cultures, many traditions, many nations, all gathered together under one sky. Diversity isn't just our history, it's our claim to fame, our drawing card, the thing that makes our country different ---- and stronger and more resilient than more homogeneous countries on Earth.
We're the mutts, not the aristocrats, and that gives us a vitality and a broadness of vision and a well-worn sense of justice and fairness that the conditions of our birthing as a country made of many nations bequeaths to us as its own unique Wisdom Tradition.
There are huge, huge issues placed before our country and our world, issues that if left unaddressed can moderate toward our complete annihilation -- not only as nations or countries, but as a species.
Please realize that when someone brings their pettiness, their trauma, their crookedness and their fear --and projects it on everyone else, as suspicion and fear and gossip, they are doing a disservice to us all and they are focusing attention on problems instead of solutions.
Make the effort to get back on track and up to steam. We aren't lesser beings simply because we trusted people. They may be lesser people because they proved unworthy of our trust, but that's their look-out. We all have our challenges.
The important part, the thing that makes us winners, is when we get up, dust our pants off, squint, and don't give up.
