We don't do Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). We are not military. We are not a hierarchy. We are not here to build a machine. We are not machines. Take this to heart.
Our success depends on honesty, humility, goodwill, fellow-feeling, mutual benefit, development of a positive and open group ethic, willingness to work and learn, community outreach, new member orientation, committee work, patience, communication skills, common sense, good recordkeeping, and willingness to correct mistakes.
Realize that you are going to make mistakes. Those mistakes, once they are recognized, will require correction. This does not imply blame and does not invite "cover your butt" protocols. You simply admit the mistake, correct it, and go on.
Squelch gossip, fear-mongering, and loose talk as part of your group culture. Not only is this ugly behavior a key tactic of most infiltrators, it is a practical matter --- these behaviors waste time and create an atmosphere of fear, suspicion, and unaccountable license. The insults, slanders, and irresponsible accusations damage people--literally -- and the hurt often lasts far longer than the issues that prompted these verbal assaults.
Limit the use of AI. AI makes dumb people feel brilliant, but the truth is that AI is only as good as the quality of the information being programmed into it. Most AI is being programmed by government agents and is limited to their history, their viewpoints, their limitations. You cannot expect their AI to reflect our history, our government structures, our Public Law or anything else. American History has not been taught in "Public" Schools since circa 1965. This means that most programmers are totally unaware.
If the programmers are clueless, or biased, so is the AI.
Part of what students have lost over the past fifty years is the ability to think and think independently. We have been programmed to rely on the internet, computers, and calculators. Many people don't know basic geography, history, philosophy, world religions, mathematics, ethics, geometry, or even how to read something longer than a sound bite. The use of AI only makes this problem worse.
Exercising your mind, like exercising your body, takes effort, but it is the only way to develop the ability to critically analyze information and discern truth for yourselves. Don't shirk. Self-governance requires self-knowledge and self-discipline.
Encourage a group culture that fully allows debate and differing opinions. Teach people to attack issues, not each other. The weird school culture has created a form of social alienation and ignorance that wasn't possible fifty years ago, with the result that many people are struggling over basic communication skills and find it difficult to interact appropriately with others.
Realize that the conditions in this country have resulted in a traumatized population. Many of those coming into the assemblies are wounded, anxious, needy, and disoriented. Be aware and make the effort to help them find a niche where they can feel secure and make a positive contribution. For those who have been attacked in the Injustice System, stream them into building our own jural assemblies, courts, and litigation committees.
The faster we organize, the faster we get relief.
This is all a huge learning process and those Americans who could have taught us the ropes directly are long gone. It's up to us to rediscover our history and restore our "customary and traditional" republican form of government. There's nobody but us here to do it, and we cannot expect the Brits or the Romans who have benefited from our "absence" to cheer us on.
We have to become our own Best Friends Forever and national Cheerleaders, so right now, stop a moment and think --- every single bedraggled American who shows up is more precious than gold. Each one who grabs hold and starts doing something worthwhile is a hope for the future. Protect and accept and help all those who have the courage and will to walk forward and contribute something more than whining and self-interest to the effort.
Grow your Assemblies. Some people have had the mistaken idea that if they keep their assembly small and control everything within a group of cronies, that they will accrue more power and a greater share of the inheritance. This is not only small-minded and anti-American, it's wrong. There is no such reward for restricting growth --- quite the opposite. Assemblies that fail to get organized and grow in membership and capability run the risk of annexation.
You are the voice of the people who live in your State of the Union and the only living people declared to exist in your Union States. For those reading this in other countries, the names of political units are different, but the challenge to restore your lawful government -- not merely a "legal" government run by corporations -- is the same.
Think about that. Understand the immensity of the trust, responsibility, and mission that depends on you --- a mission that impacts you and your neighbors right now, and all future generations, too. The torch has been passed. You hold it now.
The Flak is heavy right now, because we are over the target. The foreign corporations have pulled every trick, every enticement, every entrapment in the book -- and we are still standing. We are tired, we are bloody, we've lost some of our people to death due to turbo cancers and similar effects of the Covid 19 injections, others have been attacked and harassed by private security personnel masquerading as "State" Troopers and Highway Patrolmen.
But no guts, no glory. Courage is the First Virtue and the only guarantee that other virtues will last. In spite of threats, misrepresentations, illegal and unlawful prosecutions, and so much that we've endured, we are making progress. We are forcing changes and creating public awareness on a worldwide basis.
So grab hold of that torch you're carrying and use it to light more torches in the darkness and confusion we are currently passing through. The day will come when you look back and see the path that's hidden now, and you will say, "Thank God we did what we did back then."
Remember to pat yourself on the back, often, and with gusto. Be kind to yourself. Be proud of yourself. And do the same for others. We've been taught -- literally -- to be ashamed, to be guilty, to be afraid. We've been taught to hoard praise like a Miser and to offer criticism, but no appreciation. At least once every meeting take a moment to look at the other people in the room and despite whatever differences you have, be grateful that they are present.
When people insult you, call you a Tin Hat, a Sovereign Citizen, a Whackjob, and other labels, when they accuse you of having bad motives or telling "lies" or whatever else their own cracked mirror reflects back at you--- consider this: your ancestors suffered the same or worse. So have I. So have all the other decent people who ever stood up and made a change in the world. You are in good company.
The Conspiracy Theorists and "Frivolous" Tax Protestors and Amish Farmers have been proven right about nearly everything.
Let's see how long it takes the rest of the world to figure that out.
